Abstract

In Pornotopia, Beatriz Preciado examines popular culture and pornographic spaces as sites of architectural production. Combining historical perspectives with insights from critical theory, gender studies, queer theory, porn studies, and the history of technology, and drawing from a range of primary transdisciplinary sourcestreatises on sexuality, medical and pharmaceutical handbooks, architecture journals, erotic magazines, building manuals, and novels—Preciado traces the strategic relationships among architecture, gender, and sexuality through popular sites related to the production and consumption of pornography: design objects, bachelor pads, and multimedia rotating beds. Largely relegated to the margins of traditional histories of architecture, these sites are not mere spaces but a series of overlapping systems of representation. They are understood here not as inherently or naturally sexual, nor as perverted or queer, but rather as biopolitical techniques for governing sexual reproduction and the production of gender in modernity.

Abstract

"This is the first book to focus on James Bond's relationship to the playboy ideal through the sixties and beyond. Examining aspects of the Bond phenomenon and the playboy lifestyle, it considers how ideas of gender and consumption were manipulated to construct and reflect a powerful male fantasy in the post-war era. This analysis of the close association and relations between the emerging cultural icons of James Bond and the playboy is particularly concerned with Sean Connery's definitive Bond as he was promoted and used by the media. By exploring the connections that developed between Bond and Playboy magazine within a historical framework, the book offers new insights into these related phenomena and their enduring legacy in popular culture."--

Abstract

"Si tu veux changer un homme, transforme sa maison", telle pourrait être la devise de Hugh Hefner, le fondateur de Playboy, qui présente à ses lecteurs, outre des femmes à oreilles de lapin, un véritable manifeste pour "l'émancipation masculine". Penthouse pour célibataire, lit rotatif, jet privé Big Bunny, grottes tropicales, piscines transparentes, night-clubs, mobilier design, manoirs extravagants truffés de caméras de surveillance... En pleine guerre froide, Playboy invente la première utopie érotique de l'ère de la communication de masse : un bordel multimédia où un homme, divorcé, célibataire et polygame, vit accompagné d'une trentaine de femmes filmées en permanence dans un parc à thème sexuel. C'est en analysant les rapports entre architecture, technologie et sexualité, par le biais d'un questionnement qui échappe à toute catégorisation morale, que Beatriz Preciado étudie l'empire Playboy, première industrie de loisirs sexuels du capitalisme global. Preciado explore avec un talent philosophique rare la relation de l'archipel Playboy aux maisons de plaisir et aux utopies sexuelles architecturales de Sade, Ledoux ou Restif de La Bretonne, révélant le coeur de la pornotopie Playboy, dans laquelle l'architecture devient espace de théâtralisation de l'hétérosexualité.
