A few weeks back I heard Germaine Greer mention an event she was due to speak at. It was a debate on the positive and negative effects of pornography in society, and it has just been made available online. The whole thing is hosted by Intelligence², who have been hosting these debating evenings for a while now.
Some of you may have studied on the unit The Social Body which touches on some of these issues.
This particular debate is 'lively' and inevitably features language which is both graphic and confrontational. It also made me laugh on a number of occasions, so there is light and shade in there. My advice would be if you're likely to be offended by the content, then don't watch it.
One more thing - the debate doesn't feature any pornographic images so I think you'd be fine to watch this anywhere providing you're using headphones.
The Intelligence² website with the current debate and a nice archive of older debates (there's a good one on the current relevancy of Marxism in relation to austerity measures) is available here.
As always, if you'd like advice on how to reference anything you find on YouTube then just ask.
