Mediated Sex: Pornography and Postmodern Culture (1996) - Brian McNair
Mediated sex is about the proliferation of sexual discourse in all its variants, from pornography as narrowly defined to the "s/m chic" of advertising and the art of Jeff Koons and Madonna. It examines the place of these representations in late-20th century, post-HIV and AIDS culture, and in the context of the history of sexual representation from Greek antiquity onward. With extensive reference to examples drawn from the US and the UK, Mediated Sex attempts to make sense of and assess the many contradictory and conflicting claims made about the impact of sexual representation on individuals and societies.
Striptease Culture: Sex, Media and the Democratisation of Desire (2002) - Brian McNair
This book explores the increasing 'sexualisation' of contemporary life, considering the impact on mass culture and relating it to wider changes in post-war society.
