By taking a broad view of sex and the stage, this book tracks influences across the underground, marginalised, and the mainstream, from 'high' contemporary live art to the 'low' of entertainment.\u003cbr\u003eAcross these mediums, the staging of sex pushes against decorums of respectability, instead flaunting the body to shock, to entertain, to tell stories, and to display a new kind of gender expression. The subjects and contributors included in this collection inhabit their bodies   in fact, demand the agency of the body   in self-authored ways. Gender and sexuality here are performative, and what comes into being challenges traditional constructions of both femininity and sexuality.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46643194298526,"sku":"UBD-9781350443655","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350443655.jpg?v=1774483695","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350443655","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
