Sex Scene suggests that what we have come to understand as the
sexual revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s was actually a
media revolution. In lively essays, the contributors examine a
range of mass media-film and television, recorded sound, and
publishing-that provide evidence of the circulation of sex in the
public sphere, from the mainstream to the fringe. They discuss art
films such as I am Curious (Yellow), mainstream movies including
Midnight Cowboy, sexploitation films such as Mantis in Lace, the
emergence of erotic film festivals and of gay pornography, the use
of multimedia in sex education, and the sexual innuendo of The Love
Boat. Scholars of cultural studies, history, and media studies, the
contributors bring shared concerns to their diverse topics. They
highlight the increasingly fluid divide between public and private,
the rise of consumer and therapeutic cultures, and the relationship
between identity politics and individual rights. The provocative
surveys and case studies in this nuanced cultural history reframe
the "sexual revolution" as the mass sexualization of our mediated
world. Contributors. Joseph Lam Duong, Jeffrey Escoffier, Kevin M.
Flanagan, Elena Gorfinkel, Raymond J. Haberski Jr., Joan Hawkins,
