Queering the Porn Theatre: Sexual Spaces in New York City, 1967-1980

这一博士项目的方向受到文化研究领域最近的两个转变的影响，包括新电影史在扩大电影发行和放映历史现有知识方面的方法论目标(Maltby 2011)，以及成人电影史作为一种新的研究途径的发展(Church和Schaefer，2018)。本研究采用珍妮特·斯泰格(Janet Staiger)(1992)和芭芭拉·克林格(Barbara Klinger)(1994)采用的历史接受研究方法，利用期刊、商业期刊、城市规划记录和来自美国电影协会和美国成人电影协会等组织的文件，追踪20世纪60年代至70年代纽约时报、纽约市长办公室和城市规划委员会等风尚引领者与时代广场不同人群之间的话语斗争。例如，这些材料将来自纽约市档案馆、保龄格林州立大学的大众文化档案馆和印第安纳大学的金赛研究所。

The direction of this doctoral project is informed by two recent shifts in the field of cultural studies, consisting of the methodological aims of the New Cinema History in expanding existing knowledge of film distribution and exhibition histories (Maltby 2011), and the growth of adult film history as a new avenue of inquiry (Church and Schaefer 2018). Using a historical reception studies approach adopted by Janet Staiger (1992) and Barbara Klinger (1994), this study will utilise periodicals, trade journals, city planning records, and documentation from organisations such as the Motion Picture Association of America and the Adult Film Association of America to trace discursive struggles between tastemakers such as the New York Times, New York's mayoral office and city planning committees, and the diverse populations of Times Square during the 1960s and 1970s. This material will be sourced from, for example, the New York City Municipal Archives, the Popular Culture Archive at Bowling Green State University, and the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University.
