What can ethnic differences tell us about the desiring gaze while addressing the motives that result from the power and desire in gay ethnic pornography in Europe? How do pornographic films authenticate their ethnic subject in different European countries and how can the fetishism of presenting an authentically foreign body be best approached?

What can ethnic differences tell us about the desiring gaze while addressing the motives that result from the power and desire in gay ethnic pornography in Europe? How do pornographic films authenticate their ethnic subject in different European countries and how can the fetishism of presenting an authentically foreign body be best approached? Is the transformation of sex tourism, which affects countries differently, reflected through the ever-evolving history of gay pornography in Europe? And how does this transformation contrast or overlap with the legacies of Orientalism and colonialism? In addressing these questions, this book will participate in ongoing debates concerning Orientalism and colonialism, and make a contribution to the growing field of pornography studies. While recent works by scholars have considered the relation between US mainstream gay pornography and its representations of ethnicity and 'race,' and have also discussed examples from Europe (predominantlyFrance), no historical study has yet bridged the gap between earlier European gay ethnic pornography and its current, specifically German-Turkish manifestations. Furthermore, this exploration of recent studios like GayHeim will also contribute to discussions on the mobility issues of non-European men, while illustrating how these new productions can be refugee-or migrant-positive while simultaneously perpetuating Orientalism.

Rezensionen
"Pornography is a lot like art. It shows rather than tells. [...] The dissertation is very effective in its construction of a strong, original argument, clearly engaged with contemporary scholarship on related topics, and well-supported by a plethora of examples extracted from diverse primary and secondary sources." Professor Wendy M. K. Shaw, Art History of Islamic Cultures, Freie Universität Berlin

***

This book "provides a nuanced, methodologically rigorous, and paradigm-shifting account of gay pornography and its geopolitical operation of 'ethnicity as desire'. [... It] demonstrates an excellent engagement with the existing academic literature on gender/sexuality studies, queer theory, and critical porn studies." Associate Professor Dr. Cüneyt Cakirlar , Nottingham Trent University
