Reseña del libro "Smut: An 1883 Obscenity Trial and Its Echoes Today (en Inglés)"

In June, 1883, Jefferson and Helen Beardsley of Ithaca, New York, were indicted, tried, and sentenced for "selling and exhibiting obscene pictures." In Smut, historian Carol Kammen draws directly from the trial transcript (where witnesses were required to describe in detail what they saw when looking at pictures deemed obscene) and reveals the fascinating history surrounding the case and its surprising relevance today.The story begins with the 1876 Centennial Celebration in Philadelphia. This enormous affair attracted millions of visitors from around the country and the world, and was, among other things, a venue for all types of art works, including erotica. Kammen explains, "Although there was pornography of one sort or another all along, the dissemination of such pictures and at an affordable price into smaller cities and villages in the country can be traced directly to the advances in photography in the 1850s and to the 1876 Centennial Celebration." The Beardsleys brought several images home from the fair to their small photography studio and proceeded to show them to select customers.The town leaders of Ithaca, a hamlet about to grow rapidly thanks to the presence of the recently-founded Cornell University, were vigilant to protect their town's good name. Through the lens of the trial, Kammen explores the local social control agency of the day; considers the influence of Anthony Comstock's legislation for social purity on smaller communities; and notes the odd role of women in the law. In vivid detail, this small-town trial dramatizes the same forces at work today, as citizens strive to balance the public and private virtues.
