Again, my point was that an actor doing *anything* (acting) is using her/his
body in a filmed fiction, and so pornography as a privileged/debased locus
of docu-fiction boundary blur seemed to me not to pertain. That's not to say
that the entire issue need end there.
So the problem is located 'in the nature of its interest' - how so?
