Real Sex Films (Paperback)

Paperback. Real Sex Films explores one of the most controversial movements in international cinema through an innovative interdisciplinary combination of theories of globalization and embodiment. Risk sociology, feminist film theory, and critical feminist mapping theory are brought together with concepts of production, narrative, genre, authorship, stardom, spectatorship, and social audience as several lenses of understanding and extension in ways of seeing real-sexcinema. Notions of personal subjectivity and critical distance, disciplinary co-operation and critique, and cinematic perceptions of the utopia and dystopia of love within risk modernity are the tensions exposedreflexively and in parallel, as each chapter focuses different lenses communicating intimacy, desire, risk and transgression.

Crossing the boundaries of film studies, media and cultural studies, the ethnographic turn, risk sociology, feminist psychoanalytical, and geopolitical studies, this is a book for students,academics, as well as general and professional audiences. Real Sex Films explores one of the most controversial movements in international cinema through theories of globalization and embodiment. This item is printed on demand.
