In this challenging collection of essays Annette Kuhn analyses a wide range of films and still photographs. She explores and develops ideas on culturally dominant images and how they work. Combining semiotic and Marxist-feminist analyses, cultural studies and historical approaches, she investigates issues around visual representation and sexuality: sexual difference; how femininity and masculinity are constructed; how notions of the moral and the representable are produced through actual images. The books includes essays on 'glamour' and 'documentary' photos of women; on pornography; on crossdressing as a theme in Hollywood cinema. It also discusses censorship and Howard Hawks's The Big Sleep, and examines constructs of morality and sexuality in a genre which flourished in the silent era - the 'health propaganda' film.
