Remediating politics online: brand(ed) new sexualities and real bodies
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 10:47 authored by Aristea FotopoulouThis article suggests that in a world emerging in and through mediation, branded queer porn bloggers and portals become (re)mediators of queer politics. It examines the websites of two queer porn production companies, Nofauxxx and Furry Girl, and analyses how they respond to older media forms, re-articulate long-standing debates about pornography in new mediated environments and re-signify the pornographic object. Key in this process is the circulation of 'authenticity', 'real bodies', and 'diversity' discourses. Through this circulation, queer blogger/brand portals mediate models of political engagement entrenched with notions of digital networks and free markets more generally.
