About the Book

 Since its establishment in 1949, the People's Republic of China has upheld a nationwide ban on pornography, imposing harsh punishments on those caught purchasing, producing, or distributing materials deemed a violation of public morality. A provocative contribution to Chinese media studies by a well-known international media researcher, People’s Pornography offers a wide-ranging overview of the political controversies surrounding the ban, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the many distinct media subcultures that have gained widespread popularity on the Chinese Internet as a result. Rounding out this exploration of the many new tendencies in digital citizenship, pornography, and activist media cultures in the greater China region are thought-provoking interviews with individuals involved.

A timely contribution to the existing literature on sexuality, Chinese media, and Internet culture, People’s Pornography provides a unique angle on the robust voices involved in the debate over about pornography’s globalization.

About the Author :
A scholar, writer, artist and activist Katrien Jacobs is assistant professor in digital media at City University of Hong Kong. She has lectured and published widely on digital media, art, performativity and censorship. She has a Ph.D. degree in comparative literature and media, with a thesis on dismemberment myths and rituals in 1960s/1970s body art and performance media.

Review :

'Jacobs doesn’t underestimate the intelligence of her subjects or her audience, and while her book strikes a positive note both at the beginning and at the end, the numerous examples throughout show us that sexual expression in China is in a constant state of conflict between individual and collective desires and the ever-present and increasingly noisy demands of capital'.

'Jacobs' book has a lot more interesting things to tell though. As she says “It shows that despite the total ban on pornography, Chinese people have developed an impressive porn industry and progressive sex cultures"'. 

'A comprehensive documentation of the various forms of pornography and creative resistance to state censorship and social control in China'.

'The seriousness and conviction Jacobs demonstrates in this work also deserves not only praise but a willingness to critique it'.
