ABSTRACT When Emile Zola published his naturalist account of the life of a Parisian courtesan Nana in 1880, the novel was immediately accused of pornography for its graphic content and its eponymous heroine's constant nudity. This paper argues that Zola's representation of Nana's body is actually drawn from the iconography of contemporary pornographic photography. Far from being pornographic, however, Zola's use of photographic nudity is simultaneously a testament to the widespread social reach of these images by the end of the nineteenth century and an integral part of the novel's argument about the sexual economics of fin-de-siècle France. Reconsidered through the lens of photography, Zola's novel is a remarkable denunciation of the interconnected social problems of prostitution and pornography and their effects on modern society.
