Bøker av Dany Lacombe

The study of pornography is used here for the first time to demonstrate the role of the state in manipulating 'social problems' through moral panic.

Drawing on Michel Foucault's concept of 'power/knowledge,' Lacombe reveals how the process to criminalize pornography inaugurated a controversial politics that produced collective identities and transformed power relations. She shows law reform as a strategy that both constrains and enables action.
