Using the rather extraordinary combination of psychoanalysis and systems theory, Sven Lewandowski tries to trace the relevance of pornographic contents within contemporary society. In addition to the Internet phenomenon of amateur pornography, he also analyzes gender relations, ‘perversions,’ as well as other aspects of pornography from a sociological and media-analytical perspective. In doing so, Lewandowski dares to explore one of the most emotionalized and marginalized topics of science using one of its most abstract theories. He thus manages to bring quite some distance between the everyday phenomenon of pornography and its theoretical consideration. However, at the same time, he also detaches himself from his object of study to a certain degree.
