Gay Pornography Representations Of Sexuality And Masculinity

Binding: Paperback
Description: Gay pornography online and onscreen is a controversial and significantly under - researched area of cultural production. In the first book of its kind Gay Pornography: Representations of Sexuality and Masculinity explores the iconography themes and ideals that the genre presents. Indeed John Mercer argues that gay pornography cannot be regarded as one - dimensional but that it offers its audience a vision of plural masculinities that are more nuanced and ambiguous than they might seem. Mercer examines how the internet has generated an exponential growth in the sheer volume and variety of this material and facilitated far greater access to it. He uses both professional and amateur examples to explore how gay pornography has become part of a wider cultural context in which modern masculinities have become 'saturated by their constantly evolving status and function in popular culture.
