About this listen

In 1978, Angela Carter published a book that was the complete antithesis to Andrea Dworkin's anti-porn stance. For Carter, pornography represented a possibility of a gender revolution. It was abstracted and pure, showed oppression as it fundamentally was, and it allowed the possibility of change. Carter did this through her analysis of Marquis de Sade and his pornographic literature, which she looked on favourably for reasons we explore in today's episode.
