Sex Radical Cinema

Carol Siegel

4.9/5 (11755 ratings)

Description:In this provocative study of cinematic and televisual representations of "sex radicalism," Carol Siegel explores how sexually explicit liaisons on film have shaped American cultural visions of sex and sexual politics in the 21st century. Siegel distinguishes between a liberal approach to visual representations, which has over-emphasized normative equal opportunity while undervaluing our distinctive erotic selves, and a radical approach to visual representation, which portrays forbidden sexualities and desires. She illustrates how visual media participates in and even drives political policies related to pedophilia, prostitution, interracial relationships, and war. By examining such popular film and television shows as Dr. Strangelove, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, and the HBO hits, Sex in the City and Girls, Siegel takes the discussion of radical sex in the movies out of the margins of political discussions and puts it in the center, where, she argues, it has belonged all along.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
