| - | Linda Williams is drawn to film genres that some might characterize as [[lowbrow]] — among them [[melodrama]] and [[pornography]], genres which she calls [[body genre]]s.

She has also made appearances in three documentary films: ''[[Pornography: A Secret History of Civilisation]]'' (1999), ''[[Inside Deep Throat]]'' (2005) and ''[[American Stag]]'' (2006). She coined the term [[body genre]]. | ||
