Pornography, the public, and the private

 
Preciado 266: "Pornography is sexuality transformed into spectacle, virtual, digital information. It is sexuality transformed into public representation, where public refers directly or indirectly to becoming 'marketable.'"
 
"Therefore, we will speak of pornography as a device for the publication of the private. Or even better, a device that, representing part of publci space, thereby defines it as private while loading it with an added masturbatory value."
