From mediations on explicit imagery and profiles of prominent
performers to discussions of national nudities and the titillating
thrills of new technologies, cine-erotica has become a significant
and subversive category of contemporary film, media, and cultural
studies.
Expanding on recent work in gender, cultural, and audience-based
studies, "Peep Shows: Cult Film and the Cine-Erotic" examines the
global traditions of cult erotica, explaining key patterns,
paradigms, and performers from the world of cult celluloid
sexuality. "Peep Shows" includes profiles of porn performers and
icons such as Ron Jeremy, Betty Page, Catherine Breillat, and Joe
D'Amato. Essays also provides case studies of contemporary porn
parodies, lesbian erotica, Japanese Pink porn cinema, Caf? Flesh,
the Seduction cinema label, the dominatrix in erotic cinema, female
porn viewers, burlesque cinema programming, and porno chic
soundtracks. The volume features exclusive interviews with erotic
performers Seka, Buck Angel, Misty Mundae, Christina 'Thriller'
Lindberg, and the prolific porn producer, Michael L. Raso.
