The class deals with the ways in which the internet and mobile connectivity have transformed pornography, a centuries-old literary genre that became an industry. Pornography is a unique Western phenomenon, a logical product of the cocktail of libertine enlightenment and capitalism. Not unlike a long list of industries such as travel, journalism, printed books, photography, investing, pornography too is being profoundly restructured and reinvented in cyberspace.
