Are bodies sexy? How, and in what sorts of ways? "Sexy Bodies"
investigates the production of sexual bodies and sexual practices,
sexualities of all kinds--dyke, bisexual, transracial, even
heterosexual. While celebrating lesbian and queer sexualities,
"Sexy Bodies" also explores what runs underneath and within "all"
sexualities, discovering what is fundamentally strange about all
bodies, all carnalities.
Looking at a pleasurable variety of cultural forms and texts, the
contributors consider the particular charms of girls and horses,
from "National Velvet" to "Marnie"; discuss figures of the lesbian
body, from vampires to tomboys; uncover "virtual" lesbians in the
fiction of Jeanette Winterson; track desire in the music of
legendary Blues singers; and investigate the ever-scrutinized and
celebrated body of Elizabeth Taylor. The collection also includes
two important pieces of fiction byMary Fallon and Nicole Brossard.
"Sexy Bodies" makes new connections between and among bodies,
cruising the borders of the obscene, the pleasurable, the
desirable, and the unspoken, rethinking sexuality anew, as deeply
and stangely sexy.
