Book Description
Pornography is rampant in today’s world. Elementary school kids waiting for a school bus in the morning can view porn on their tablet. Children on the playground can share porn with their friends on their smart phones. Yet on Sundays, people can walk around the church and pretend pornography is not a problem. In Beyond Porn, author Paul S. Heidenfelder explains how we can move beyond pornography and experience a much greater life—a life more rewarding than some people can even imagine. While the world can tempt us and challenge our morality, the Bible has incredible promises far greater than anything the material world can offer. Beyond Porn can show you these promises and help you to draw near enough to God to walk in them. Pornography is everywhere, and it is time for Christians to take this issue seriously. By learning what the Bible says about immorality and temptation, you can draw closer to God and begin walking in the Spirit. What supernatural events could be waiting for those who say no to sin—and yes to God?

Beyond Explicit
Author: Helen Hester
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 1438449615
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Develops a novel characterization of the pornographic as a cultural concept. This original contribution to porn studies aims to interrogate previously untheorized changes in contemporary understandings of the pornographic. Helen Hester argues that the words porn and pornographic are currently being applied to an ever-expanding range of material and that this change in language usage reflects a wider shift in perception. She suggests that we are witnessing a seemingly paradoxical move away from sex within contemporary understandings of porn, as a range of other factors come to influence the concept. Using examples from media, literature, and culture, and discussing the rise of notions such as torture porn and misery porn, Hesters argument ranges from sexually explicit German novels and British policy documents to a discussion of the differences between European and American editions of pornographic films. She concludes that four factors in particulartransgression, intensity, prurience, and authenticitycan be seen to influence the way that we think about porn.

Beyond Speech
Author: Mari Mikkola
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190257911
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This collection of eleven new essays contains the latest developments in analytic feminist philosophy on the topic of pornography. While honoring early feminist work on the subject, it aims to go beyond speech act analyses of pornography and to reshape the philosophical discourse that surrounds pornography. A rich feminist literature on pornography has emerged since the 1980s, with Rae Langton's speech act theoretic analysis dominating specifically Anglo-American feminist philosophy on pornography. Despite the predominance of this literature, there remain considerable disagreements and precious little agreement on many key issues: What is pornography? Does pornography (as Langton argues) constitute women's subordination and silencing? Does it objectify women in harmful ways? Is pornography authoritative enough to enact women's subordination? Is speech act theory the best way to approach pornography? Given the deep divergences over these questions, the first goal of this collection is to take stock of extant debates in order to clarify key feminist conceptual and political commitments regarding pornography. This volume further aims to go beyond the prevalent speech-acts approach to pornography, and to highlight novel issues in feminist pornography-debates, including the aesthetics of pornography, trans* identities and racialization in pornography, and putatively feminist pornography.

Beyond Red and Blue
Author: Peter S. Wenz
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262261278
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
Why Americans do not divide neatly into red and blue or right and left but form coalitions across party lines on hot-button issues ranging from immigration to same-sex marriage. On any given night cable TV news will tell us how polarized American politics is: Republicans are from Mars, Democrats are from Canada. But in fact, writes Peter Wenz in Beyond Red and Blue, Americans do not divide neatly into two ideological camps of red/blue, Republican/Democrat, right/left. In real life, as Wenz shows, different ideologies can converge on certain issues; people from the right and left can support the same policy for different reasons. Thus, for example, libertarian-leaning Republicans can oppose the Patriot Act's encroachment on personal freedom and social conservatives can support gay marriage on the grounds that it strengthens the institution of marriage. Wenz maps out twelve political philosophies—ranging from theocracy and free-market conservatism to feminism and cosmopolitanism—on which Americans draw when taking political positions. He then turns his focus to some of America's most controversial issues and shows how ideologically diverse coalitions can emerge on such hot-button topics as extending life by artificial means, the war on drugs, the war on terrorism, affirmative action, abortion, same-sex marriage, health care, immigration, and globalization. Awareness of these twelve political philosophies, Wenz argues, can help activists enlist allies, citizens better understand politics and elections, and all of us define our own political identities.
