- Title
"Pussy in a Can": Containing Feminization and Disposability in The Wire.
- Authors
Lamm, Kimberly
- Abstract
The article presents a criticism of television series "The Wire" which seek to document or expose the reality of sexual trafficking, nor does it rely upon the visual grammars of pornography to make a moral appeal. It mentions sexual trafficking may be a fact of neoliberal globalization and Trafficking Victims Protection Act which helped to make sexual trafficking a salient crime and a discernible human rights violation. It also mentions legislation gave rise to antitrafficking campaigns.
