This book will be the first collection that offers an overview and
case studies around understandings and manifestations of penises
and phalluses in the early twenty-first century. It examines how
penises and phalluses are experienced and represented, drawing on
examples from pornography, stripping, music video, film, surgery,
and comedy. The penis-along with its twin the phallus-has been used
to symbolise strength, fertility, and power but also bestiality,
violence, and the 'savage'. It has been worshipped, feared, and
mocked. With contributing authors deploying conceptual frameworks
based in philosophy, cultural studies, gender studies, affect
theory, film theory, feminist theory, art theory, sociology,
history, medical anthropology and media studies, this volume will
appeal to a broad range of scholars and all who are interested in
bodies, genitals, gender, and contemporary cultures.
