Every porn scene is a record of people at work. But on-camera labor is only the

what porn performers think of their work and how they intervene to hack it. It tells
a story of crafty workers, faltering managers, and shifting solidarities.

Blending extensive fieldwork with feminist and antiwork theorizing, Porn Work
details entrepreneurial labor on the boundaries between pleasure and tedium.
