agree  Gayle Rolando (X): I would say "in 'the' spirit of pornography", otherwise I think this captures the essence of the above sentence. A little more information around the context might help.

pornographic-looking treatment of the subject


Explanation:
I assume there is a particular subject (known in the context) which the treatment deals with.

I interpret "i pornografins tecken" to mean that the treatment presents the subject somewhat, but perhaps not entirely, in a pornographic way.

(Whereas "in the spirit of pornography" would suggest that the treatment presents the subject in an unqualifiedly pornographic way.)
