Linda Williams changed how we see, think, and argue about pornography, desire, and the moving image. Hard Core was the first serious study of porn as film. Porn Studies recently published a special dossier on her contributions to the field: www.tandfonline.com/toc/rprn20/1....

"...an extraordinary work of oneiric imagination, punkish sensibility, and a requiem to women’s labor in the hazy terrain of night work." - @cinemiasma.bsky.social, Mubi Robina Rose's NIGHTSHIFT opens 3/14 at @anthologyfilm.bsky.social in a stunning new restoration. First-ever U.S. release!

So many things to say about how massive an intellectual idol Linda Williams was to me, how much her feminist scholarship on sex cinema, porn, pleasure, genre& embodiment made possible. Have been teaching her writing all term in class v much inspired by her work, The Carnal Screen. Vale LW 💔💔💔
