Is there any good critical theory on pornography and gore?
Unfortunately, a lot of work is very sex negative and pathologizing.
For example, I appreciated Klaus Theweleit's "Male Fantasies" but it is obviously problematic.
Basically, "Male Fantasies" psychoanalyses Freikorps (predecessors of the Nazi SA) pulp fiction.
So of course "Male Fantasies" is very flawed.
Pic is mostly unrelated I guess.
