This volume is inscribed in the dialogue we opened in 2010, with the special issue of the journal Communication Issues [Zitimata Epikoinonias] entitled "Media, Pornography and Globalization" and continued in 2011 with the "Post/feminism and the politics of mediated sex" issue of the International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics. It is the product of our investigation of the relationship between the sex industry, technology and the media in the era of globalization. Observing complex phenomena such as the transfer of practices of production and consumption of content from western markets to eastern countries, commercialization of youth sexuality, over-sexualisation of everyday life by the media, forced human displacement (slavery, prostitution), we have opted for a in-depth study of the industry of sexuality and, in a boarder sense, the sex-industry itself. In the 21st century, the cultural management of new image technologies leads on the one hand to the imposition of a globalized pan-opticon, analysed in other studies of the same series, and on the other hand to the diffusion of a "global sexual image" which is the focus of our study. This collective work expands our inquiries by examining the complex interplay of media, popular culture and the sex industry. Providing research in an area previously unexamined, it is an original attempt of the Greek academic community to investigate the cultural, social and economic dimensions of the aforementioned combination of factors in terms of their interdependence, their economic ties and their social and cultural impact.
