Lady Chatterley's Legacy in the Movies

Sex, Brains, and Body Guys

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A new "body guy" genre has emerged in film during the last twenty years-a working-class man of the earth or bohemian artist awakens and fulfills the sexuality of a beautiful, intelligent woman frequently married or engaged to a sexually incompetent, educated, upper-class man. Lady Chatterley's Legacy in the Movies relates a host of wide-ranging films to a literary tradition dating back to Lady Chatterley's Lover and an emerging body culture of our time. The authors argue that the hero's body, lovemaking style, and penis-revealed through extensive male nudity-celebrate conformity to norms of masculinity and male sexuality. Lehman and Hunt show how filmmakers, spectators, and all of us can be empowered to dethrone the body guide and replace it with a wide range of alternatives.
