On two occasions (in 1986 with Bill C-114 and in 1987 with Bill C-54) the Mulroney government proposed a more restrictive approach to the regulation of pornography. Despite the support of various feminist and religious/family-oriented organizations, the government's attempts at law reform failed. Obscenity provisions were neither repealed nor replaced by a law criminalizing pornography. Blue Politics looks at the social and political mechanisms that initiated, shaped, and finally defeated the controversial legal proposals of the Conservative government in the 1980s.Dany Lacombe documents the emergence of a feminist definition of pornography, analyses the impact this definition had on the debate between conservative and civil libertarian organizations, and identifies the emergence of groups who strongly resisted the attempt to reform the law: feminists against censorship and sex radicals. Finally, she examines the way in which institutional practices are shaped by and yet shape the power relations between groups. The emphasis is on the way such power relations are embodied in the policy-making process.Drawing on Michel Foucault's concept of `power/knowledge,' Lacombe reveals how the process to criminalize pornography inaugurated a controversial politics that produced collective identities and transformed power relations. She shows law reform as a strategy that both constrains and enables action. 606 $aObscenity (Law)$zCanada 606 $aPornography$xLaw and legislation$xGovernment policy$zCanada 606 $aPornography$xLaw and legislation$xSocial aspects$zCanada 606 $aFeminism$zCanada 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aObscenity (Law) 615 0$aPornography$xLaw and legislation$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPornography$xLaw and legislation$xSocial aspects 615 0$aFeminism 676 $a363.4/7/0971 700 $aLacombe$b Dany$01026215 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456504603321 996 $aBlue politics$92441011 997 $aUNINA
