This is the first critical anthology to offer extended analysis of
the representation of sexual perversion on screen. Interrogating
the recent shift towards the mainstream in the cinematic
representation of previously marginalised sexual practices, Tainted
Love challenges the discourses and debates around sexual taboo,
moral panics, degeneracy, deviance and disease, which present those
who enact such sexualities as modern folk devils. This timely
collection brings together leading scholars who draw on a variety
of critical approaches including adaptation, performance, cultural
studies, queer theory, feminism and philosophy to examine screen
representations of controversial sexualities from the weird and
wonderful to the debased and debauched. Chapters explore
provocative performances of hysteria and sexual obsession,
`everyday' perversion in neoliberal culture, the radical potential
of sadomasochism, adolescent sexuality in the films of Larry Clark,
intergenerational sex and incestuous relations in French cinema,
sexual obsession in gay cinema, the straightness of necrophilia,
the presentation of the paedophile, Swedish Erotica's `good sex'
and re-imagining the Marquis de Sade from film to slash fiction. In
order to move past binary distinctions of good and bad, normal and
abnormal, moral and immoral, Tainted Love seeks to critically
interrogate perverse sexualities and sexual perversion on screen.
