The lust of the eye and the thrill of the flesh
This article sketches recent scholarship on the relationship between pornographic film and modernity. Specifically, it shows how that relationship has since 1979 brought research into pornographic film out of its past status as special pleading or titillation and permitted the creation of a legitimate field of rigorous research. It concludes with an argument that pornographic film is central, not peripheral, to an understanding of the emergence a…

Doing theory or using theory: Australian feminist/women's history in the 1990s
Australian feminist historians have employed two strategies to subvert the past and claim the future: equal opportunity and retheorising historical knowledge. In the course of the 1970s and 1980s, feminist theory, like theory in general, came to be radically dissociated from any historical or empirical base. This has undermined the latter strategy. The article concludes with a survey of Australian feminist/women's history published since 1990

Education for Femininity: Domestic Arts Education in South Australia
Over the last decade or so, a number of authors?Australian, British and American?have hinted at a primary importance for Domestic Arts education in the modernisation of Britain and Anglo-settled societies. They have suggested broadly that Domestic Arts was the ideology that accompanied the structural changes in households and family life as these became accommodated to industrial, urban, consumer conditions.1 Or, more narrowly, they have alluded …
