A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This examination of the representations of the male body - its phallic power or its pitiful, often comic collapse - analyses films, sexology, pornography, popular fiction, photographs, popular music and videos. It confronts embedded cultural taboos and traces the silence to a variety of male fears.

Description de la librairie

We stock books about art, design, fashion, heritage/history and gender/sexuality, specialising in books about Australian, Asian & Pacific arts, crafts design and cultural history. Since we are committed to marginalised and innovative social and cultural practices, we are more likely to have books on women artists or dissident life than coffee-table books on iconic figures. This shop is in Sydney's legendary Kings Cross area, which has provided alternatives to this country's normalcy and suburbia for the last 80 years. Colloquially known as 'The Cross', this name signifies Antipodean bohemia, streetgangs and a world-famous red light district etc. THE CROSS Art + Books is a foundation member of The Bookdealers Guild (NSW).
