| Canadian laws pertaining to pornography and bawdy houses were first developed during the Victorian era, when â non-normativeâ sexualities were understood as a corruption of conservative morals and harmful to society as a whole. Tracing the socio-legal history of contemporary obscenity and indecency laws, Kramar and Jochelson contend that the law continues to function to protect society from harm. Today, rather than seeing harm to conservative values, the court sees harm to liberal political values. While reforms have been made, especially in light of feminist and queer challenges, Kramar and Jochelson use Foucaultâ s governmentality framework to show that the liberal harm strategy for governing obscenity and indecency continues to disguise power.
