Much of feminist architectural scholarship focuses on the enormous
task of instating women's experience of space into spatial praxis.
Hypersexual City: The Provocation of Soft-Core Urbanism suggests
this attention to women's invisibility in sociocultural space has
overlooked the complex ways in which women already occupy space,
albeit mostly as an image or object to be consumed, even purchased.
It examines the occupation of urban space through the mediated
representation of women's hypersexualized bodies. A complex
transaction proliferates in the commercial urban space of cities;
this book seeks to address the cause and consequence of the
increasing dominance of gendered representation. It uses
architectural case studies and analysis to make visible the sexual
politics of architecture and urbanism and, in doing so, reveal the
ways that heterosexist culture shapes the spaces, behaviour and
relationships formed in neoliberal cities. Hypersexual City
announces how examining urbanism that operates through, and is
framed by, sexual culture can demonstrate that architecture does
not merely find itself adrift in the hypersexualized landscape of
contemporary cities, but is actively producing and contributing to
the sexual regulation of urban life.
