Sexuality within mainstream Hollywood cinema features primarily in
comedy or rom-com genres, where lightness of tone permits audience
engagement with what would otherwise be difficult affective
terrain. Focusing on marginal productions in Anglo-American
contexts, this collection explores the gendered dynamics of sex and
the body, particularly embodied deviations from normative cultural
scripts. It explores transgressions acted through and written on
the body, and the ways in which corporeality inscribes gender
discourse and reflects cultural and institutional power. Films
analyzed include Mysterious Skin (2004), Shame (2011), Nymphomaniac
(2013), and Dallas Buyers Club (2013). Navigating queer politics,
taboo fantasy, body modification, fetishism, sex addiction, and
underage sex, essays problematize understandings of adult agency,
childhood innocence, and healthy desire, locating sex and gender as
sites of oppression, liberation, and resistance.
