Recenzii
Television scholars have surely embraced the medium's engagement with sexuality, but Television, Sex and Society brings a much needed focus on the sex act (or lack thereof) itself. It deftly examines issues of production, reception, and text while breaking down the televised portrayal of sex through sensitive engagements with areas such as class (Channel 4's Shameless), nation and genre (BBC's Tipping the Velvet and South Korea's My Lovely Sam-Soon), sexualized power relations (British pornography and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and abstinence (Pushing Daisies). It's surely a much welcome collection addressing an overlooked facet of today's highly sexualized television landscape. --Kelly Kessler, PhD, Assistant Professor of Media and Cinema Studies, DePaul University
In examining a selection of disparate texts, the book nevertheless usefully explores some of the institutional strategies and adopted modes of representation that allow, validate and exploit our voyeuristic fascination with sex on TV.
