Abstract

The aim of this article is to try to understand the role of pornography through a number of different channels, namely: the work of art and technology. To understand how the work of art passed from an erotic position to a pornographic one, with explicitly political motivations. To this end, our main references are Walter Benjamin's work The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technical Reproducibility (1936) and Polly Barton's Porn: An Oral History (2023).
