Description: Chinese artists, activists, and netizens are pioneering a new order of pornographic representation that is in critical dialogue with global entertainment media. Jacobs examines the role of sex-positive feminisms as well as queer communities and aesthetics in various types of sexually explicit media in both mainland China and Hong Kong to investigate pornography's "afterglow" (a state of crisis and decay within digital culture) by focusing on a new generation of artists and scholars who have made statements about gender and body politics.
