E Porno, tem porno? represents a panorama of both Bra-zilian Porn Industry and studies." E PornĂ´, tem pornĂ´? represents a panorama of both Bra-zilian Porn Industry and studies. from the early Porno-chanchadas' productions - that were more erotical than explicitly pornographical, playing with a highly sexualized culture and flair for the sarcastical and comical - to the contemporary ambience of the netporn; with its amateur performanes and selfpornifications.
The articles presented in this book are more than a survey of the history of Brazilian Porn, they are also a statement of a theoretical, political and historical field of studies that has been developing within the last decade. The feminine issues in Brazilian Porn are stressed by most of the ar-ticles of the book, focusing on a case study of the women in Prision films - a subgenre that was very popular during late 1970s and begining of the 1980s. This panorama represents an important and groundbreaking mapping of a peculiar and popular domain of productions as well as theoretical and political field of studies.
