Examines how the fragmented body is represented in various media via its position in space and the illusion of the built environment created by sets, camera angles, and other aspects of filmed culture that contribute to the representation of gender and sex on the screen. In this wide-ranging, illuminating study, Shelton Waldrep shows how pornography has thoroughly infiltrated mainstream cinema and television, influencing visual representation formally as well as thematically. "Pornification," rather than the object of jeremiad, is subject in The Space of Sex to thoughtful critical analysis. A most welcome book.
