Fragmentation et saisissement pornographiques

Abstract

The corpus of our study is extracted from free and popular private pornsites, which offer short videographic extracts. In this context, the image and the visual attraction appear to be essential and seems to be annihilators of other codes (the user visits the site to see). However, we note the importance of the linguistic messages (captions, menu “categories”) involved in the pornographic media form. We first observe the discursive work of categorization based on an imaginary and representations produces by the X (“pornotypes”, Perea 2012): characters, scenes and acts represented, with reference to niche markets and media device. We continue asking captions, which are narrative motifs between scripts (Gagnon and Simon 1986) and pseudo-narratives. We conclude on the mechanisms of sensitive and semiotic inquiry via the linguistic material from these sites.
