The Space of Sex
The Porn Aesthetic in Contemporary Film and Television Shelton Waldrep, University of Southern Maine, USA As film and television become ever more focused on the pornographic gaze of the camera, the human body undergoes a metamorphosis, becoming both landscape and building, part of an architectonic design in which the erotics of the body spread beyond the body itself to influence the design of the film or televisual shot. Waldrep focuses on how sex, gender, and sexuality are represented in several recent films, including Savages (2012), Magic Mike (2012), and Don Jon (2013). Each of these mainstream or independent movies, and several more, are examined for the ways they have attempted to absorb pornography, if not the pornography industry specifically, into their plot.

Women Artists, Feminism and the Moving Image
Women’s Radio Programming at the BBC, CBC, and ABC Demonstrates how women as media producers and audiences in three countries with public service broadcasters (UK, Canada and Australia) have contributed to changes in our understandings of public and private. Women’s participation in media continues to be a key challenge to notions of the public sphere and the book concludes that profound changes initiated in the broadcast era are unfinished in the age of digital media. Justine Lloyd offers rich and valuable evidence of the dynamic relationship between media texts, producers and audiences that is relevant to contemporary debates about a growing gender ‘apartheid’ in a mediated culture.
