Abstract from book jacket
This collection of original writings and artwork challenges commonly held definitions of the body. Filmmakers, poets, visual and performance artists, sex workers, activists, and cultural critics employ outrage and analysis to investigate the body as a source of identity and an object of control. The contributors offer anguished and exultant visions of gay yearning and despair, male heterosexual hysteria, ethnic defiance, feminist reflection, and emotional recognition.
Contributors include Luis Alfaro, Dennis Cooper, Robert Flynt, Carol Leigh, Lynne Tillman, and Trinh T. Minh-ha.
