FULL MONOGRAPH: Belated Inquiries on Pornography and Ecology: How Being Conservative Works for Environmentalism.

Abstract

This monograph sets out from the idea of an obscure and perverted relationship between environmentalism, understood as a 21^st century green and popular movement, and pornography, understood as a traditionalist and conservative art form. Both sides seem to come together in the interest of what has been called the Anthropocene. Somehow the same groups that rely on a fierce defense of the planet and demand a collective awareness of the risk the entire humanity faces do not do it any longer on behalf of an unknown future or revolutionary goal, but for the conservation of a still image of Earth: a positive conviction on how the future is going to look like. This aporia is dissolved into an oxymoron when environmentalist practices are put at work.
