How and why did pornography become the lust-inducing genre we are familiar with today? Why did it narrow its once wide purpose of social critique to only producing sexual arousal and satisfaction? While many scholars have assumed that an encroaching realism of both media and subject matter have brought about this familiarity, this article follows the work of Jonathan Crary to suggest that one overlooked factor might be an important change that took place in the very regime of the visible over the course of the 19th century. During this period a distanced, centered and contemplative geometrical perspective gave way to a bewildering array of subjective, physiological bodily effects and sensations produced within the bodies of observers. In approaching this question from the perspective of the early 21st century and taking account of models of both rupture and continuity, it becomes possible to understand moving-image pornography as a genre whose primary emotion was lust.

运动和电子运动:欲望和“可见的狂热”

色情是如何以及为什么成为我们今天熟悉的性欲诱导体裁的?为什么它将其曾经广泛的社会批判目的缩小到仅产生性唤起和满足?虽然许多学者认为媒体和主题的日益现实主义带来了这种熟悉感,但本文遵循乔纳森·克拉里 (Jonathan Crary) 的工作,提出一个被忽视的因素可能是可见性制度本身发生的重要变化。在 19 世纪的过程中。在此期间,远距离、集中和沉思的几何视角让位于观察者身体内产生的一系列令人眼花缭乱的主观、生理身体效果和感觉。
