Between the Body and the Flesh by Lynda Hart

Performing Sadomasochism

A study of representations of sadomasochism, especially lesbian s/m, from queer performance art to Dorothy Allison's writing on childhood sexual abuse and desire. Hart explores censorship in the arts, the fetishizing of sexual paraphernalia, intersections of class, race and sexuality, and the politics of psychoanalysis.
