The cultural democracy of amateur porn

 Sophie Hope and Owen Kelly talk with Susanna Paasonen on her research  into amateur and user-generated porn. They talk about the long and  poorly documented history of user-generated erotic media and how this  has both reflected and stimulated changes in technology.   Does amateur porn stand outside the market place as an example of a  self-selecting community engaged in a participatory culture of a more or  less democratic nature? Or is it simply a shallow reflection of the  dominant culture? The answer, you will be pleased to learn, proves not  as simple as that.
