Reviews"Provides both academics and film buffs with an interesting look at the films that toe the line on what [is] acceptable in cinema." -- Dakota Ratley, Communication Booknotes Quarterly "Media studies desperately needs more 'rainbow scholarship' like the impeccable work Tulloch and Middleweek have done here, especially on experiences that are so central to the human condition: intimacy, desire, and sex." --Mark Deuze, University of Amsterdam, author of Media Life, "Provides both academics and film buffs with an interesting look at the films that toe the line on what [is] acceptable in cinema." -- Dakota Ratley, Communication Booknotes Quarterly"Media studies desperately needs more 'rainbow scholarship' like the impeccable work Tulloch and Middleweek have done here, especially on experiences that are so central to the human condition: intimacy, desire, and sex." --Mark Deuze, University of Amsterdam, author of Media Life, "Media studies desperately needs more 'rainbow scholarship' like the impeccable work Tulloch and Middleweek have done here, especially on experiences that are so central to the human condition: intimacy, desire, and sex." --Mark Deuze, University of Amsterdam, author of Media Life

SynopsisReal Sex Films explores one of the most controversial movements in international cinema through theories of globalization and embodiment., 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-sex cinema. 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 exposed reflexively and in parallel, as each chapter focuses different lenses communicating intimacy, desire, risk and transgression. This book substantively, methodologically, and theoretically embraces and engages in its consideration of the images, ethics, double standards, and embodiments of brutal cinema. 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 an innovative interdisciplinary combination of theories of globalization and embodiment.
