Synopsis
What do Andrea Dworkin's "Intercourse" and the Hollywood film "Fatal Attraction" have in common? Why is the lesbian self-portrait impossible? What if the Amazon in ancient Greece was an image of female incompetence? In considering the paradoxes of sexual representation, Mandy Merck's essays range across romantic fiction and hardcore pornography, the robot and the sex goddess, Doris Day and Sigmund Freud. Perverse in several senses, they aim to unsettle our understanding of these subjects by offering unlikely readings of unlikely texts - Simone de Beauvoir's little-known study of Brigitte Bardot, the gay videoporn hit, "More of a Man" and the television portrayal of "Portrait of a Marriage".
