-	My interest in regional exploitation or [[pulp]] culture is that what it tells about the region where it is produced. In search of [[national stereotype]]s by way of their exploitation culture; regional stereotypes deduced from regional [[fear]]s and [[desire]]s ([[horror]] and [[eroticism]]).	+

-	== Introduction ==	+
-	While the term ''exploitation'' was initally coined in the 1950s to describe 1930s and 1940s (the classical era of [[American exploitation film]]), the practice of exploitative fiction is as old as fiction itself. Areas of interest in this field include [[grub street]] [[hack writing]], [[dime novels]] and [[pulp fiction]], [[paperback]]s and [[white slavery film]]s, [[blaxploitation]], [[Grand Guignol]] and [[slasher film]]s.	+
-		+
-	== Sensationalism ==	+
-	[[Sensationalism]] is a manner of being extremely controversial, loud, attention-grabbing, or otherwise sensationalistic.	+
-		+
-	The term is commonly used in reference to the media. Critics of media bias of all political stripes often charge the media with engaging in sensationalism in their reporting and conduct. That is to say they charge that the media often chooses to report on shocking or attention-grabbing stories, rather than relevant or important ones.	+
-		+
-	== Exploitation films ==	+
-		+
-	Exploitation cinema has three main themes: sex, drugs and violence. Erotic horror is a subgenre of exploitation/horror.	+
-		+
-	These movies - from 1930s cautionary tales about venereal diseases to 1970s porno chic — were initially shown by itinerant carnival people, later in so-called grindhouse theaters and drive-in theatres — until their death-by-video in the 1980s.	+
-		+
-	The academic interest in this genre of films began in the 1990s, where it is a subgenre of paracinema.	+
