Focusing on marginal productions in Anglo-American contexts, this collection explores the gendered dynamics of sex and the body, particularly embodied deviations from normative cultural scripts. It explores transgressions acted through and written on the body, and the ways in which corporeality inscribes gender discourse and reflects cultural and institutional power. Films analyzed include \u003ci\u003eMysterious Skin\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), \u003ci\u003eShame\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), \u003ci\u003eNymphomaniac\u003c\/i\u003e (2013), and \u003ci\u003eDallas Buyers Club\u003c\/i\u003e (2013). Navigating queer politics, taboo fantasy, body modification, fetishism, sex addiction, and underage sex, essays problematize understandings of adult agency, childhood innocence, and healthy desire, locating sex and gender as sites of oppression, liberation, and resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoel Gwynne is associate professor at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
