Soho’s ‘other’ film industry
This article examines the concept of ‘hidden screen economies’ – economic activities related to screen media that occur outside formal structures, often involving concealment to evade legal and regulatory frameworks. Drawing on the author's ethnohistorical research into Britain's trade in hardcore pornographic films from 1960-1972, the article applies Actor-Network Theory to demonstrate how we might research hidden screen economies. The study rev…
Pornophobia’
This article reflects on the 50th anniversary of the Longford Report. Published at a time when other countries had legalized or were planning to liberalize laws regarding the publication and distribution of pornographic materials, the report is often viewed as a failed attempt at policymaking. Drawing on extensive ethnohistorical research conducted over a six-year period, which includes engagement with archival documents, media reportage and the …
Pure cheek
This article explores the career of British porn performer and producer Lindsay Honey, more commonly known as Ben Dover. Arguably Britain’s most well-known pornographer, Honey’s career is significant in that it spanned 40 years, beginning when the distribution of hardcore pornography was criminalized and ending when the digital distribution of porn via the internet had become ubiquitous. Drawing on three interviews conducted with Honey in 2017 th…
Golden ages? Media, space and transnationality
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Recently, there has been increasing academic interest in the historical foundations of the pornography business. However, these studies tend to focus on individual national contexts rather than exploring the transnational relationships that exist, or have existed, between these countries. This article considers how a transnational approach can further understandings of entrepreneurship in the pornography business. It suggests the need for an inte…
The Watford Blue Movie Trial
This article uses the example of a forgotten obscenity case from 1974 to show the processes involved in the production and distribution of British hardcore pornographic 8-mm films, known in the trade as rollers. It also gives attention to the legal framework affecting pornography at this time, showing how the Director of Public Prosecutions, against a backdrop of increasing tabloid attention on the transnational pornography trade and corruption i…
Making European Cult Cinema
Fans of cult films don't just watch the movies they love-they frequently engage with them in other, more creative ways as well. Making European Cult Cinema explores the ways in which that fandom could be understood as an alternative economy of fan enterprise, through a close look at how fans produce and distribute artifacts and commodities related to cult films. Built around interviews and ethnographic observations-and even the author's own fan e…

Original Climax Films
This article presents findings from my research into the British hardcore pornography business. Porn studies has given little coverage to the British pornography business, with much of the academic literature focusing on the American adult entertainment industry. Recently, there has been a rising interest in the historical framework of porn cinemas both in popular culture and in academic work. This article contributes to this debate, taking both …
Introduction
Following previous editions of the Porn Studies Forum section, and publications such as The Feminist Porn Book (Taormino et al. 2012), this forum brings together discourses from academia and indust
“They’re Not Pirates, They’re Archivists”
This chapter examines the activist archivist as a community activity, one that relies on the collective efforts of a group of like-minded people who strive to make available the material objects of popular culture for consumption. Responding to the political and economic limitations of rights-holders who prevent the commercial release of the marginal cultural texts of popular music, activist archivists are making materials available for distribut…
Impact of a point-of-sale tobacco display ban on smokers’ spontaneous purchases
We observed a 30% reduction in smokers making spontaneous tobacco purchases after implementation of the Western Australian tobacco display ban and between a fivefold and sixfold reduction in the proportion suggesting displays influenced their decision to purchase cigarettes. These data are consistent with previous research suggesting tobacco displays encourage spontaneous purchases and their removal corresponds to reductions in the same
Measuring the effect of cigarette plain packaging on transaction times and selection errors in a simulation experiment
Rather than plain packaging requiring an additional 45 s per transaction, our results suggest that it will, if anything, modestly decrease transaction times and selection errors
We're not told why – we're just told’

Design A series of focus group discussions comprised of homogeneous groups varied by sex and age, until saturation of themes was achieved, followed by thematic analysis. Setting Part of qualitative research for the Go for 2&5 ® fruit an…
Children's understanding of the selling versus persuasive intent of junk food advertising
The effect of retail cigarette pack displays on unplanned purchases
POS tobacco displays act as a form of advertising even in the absence of advertising materials. They stimulate unplanned cigarette purchases, play an important role in brand selection and tempt smokers trying to quit. This justifies removing POS tobacco displays from line of sight-something that very few smokers in our sample would object to
Impact of smoking images in magazines on the smoking attitudes and intentions of youth
Incidental positive smoking imagery in magazines can generate the same sorts of consumer effects attributed to advertising in general, including tobacco advertising. Sex specific results of our study may be explained by the choice of smoking images used
Continuous tracking of the Australian National Tobacco Campaign
Advertisements with clear figure ground executional formats and those illustrating health effects of smoking have high memorability. Future campaigns that are continuously tracked are recommended to systematically vary media weight, flighting schedules, and advertisement type, so as to maximise information about these variables and their interactions
