Abstract
Rather, I felt that Ferguson's relative neglect of the battle over literary obscenity in the late fifties and early sixties was symptomatic of a larger absence in the now well-established field of "porn studies" (not to mention in American literary and cultural studies more generally) of any consideration of what seemed to me to be a crucial chapter in their prehistory. Personally, I find this striking, particularly because the landmark Supreme Court cases ofthat earlier decade (which concerned film as well as print) not only helped establish the professional authority of academic intellectuals as experts on sexually explicit discussion in the public sphere (and in the academic curriculum) but also enabled pornography to flourish in the contemporary forms that centrally concern these scholars.
