The River of Swill: Feminist art, Sexual Codes, and Censorship
Afterimage, Oct. 1990, v. 18, no. 3, pp. 10-13
This article discusses the fanaticism of right wing politics of the NEA and their desire to blindly censor whatever they may deem pornographic or disestablishmentarian (and in this article, specifically art made by women). Extensively covered are themes of feminism and sexuality through the texts of Irigaray, Lacan, Mulvey and Acker.
