This book makes a unique contribution to the field of media studies
by analyzing the perpetuation of sexual scripts through news
articles, films, TV shows, lifestyle magazines, advertisements, and
other forms of popular mediated culture. Focusing on cultural
differences between North America and Europe, the book catalogues
and contextualizes common sexual scripts by looking at the ways in
which people have or do not have sex, eroticize each other's
bodies, penetrate each other's bodies, and give meaning to all
these activities. Other such analyses have explored whether, when,
and why people decide to have sex, and so on. This book instead
focuses on how the sexual interaction itself is culturally scripted
to occur - what sequence of events takes place after a couple have
decided to have sex. While the first half of the book catalogues
sexual scripts in a general way, based on geography and sexual
orientation, the second half is framed around sexual discourses
associated with some degree of shame and social stigmatization. The
book ends by addressing the hegemonic perpetuation of mediated
sexual scripts across cultures and the role of sexuality in
fourth-wave feminism. Mediated Eros is suitable as the primary or
secondary text in seminars on media, culture, and sexuality, and
would also be of interest to journalists and freelance writers
whose work explores the sociocultural construction of sex and the
sexual self.
