À partir des années 1960, le cinéma américain commence à sortir de sa « longue adolescence » : Elizabeth Taylor prononce des mots jusqu’alors interdits, Dustin Hoffman perd sa virginité dans les bras de Mrs. Robinson, Jon Voight fait le gigolo dans les rues de New York. À Hollywood, la sexualité fait enfin son apparition comme sujet et comme question de mise en scène. Comment représenter les rapports charnels ? Comment les intégrer à la narration et à la vie émotionnelle des personnages ? Quelle expérience le spectateur fait-il de telles scènes ? Dans l’art du dévoilement et de l’occultation, au cœur de la mise à l’écran du sexe, une véritable politique de la représentation des corps est en jeu. Films étrangers, cinéma d’exploitation ou d’avant-garde, films populaires ou d’auteur, cyberpornographie, Linda Williams explore de vastes territoires afin de comprendre la dynamique historique et culturelle par laquelle la sexualité, d’obscène, est devenue « en/scène ».Linda Williams est professeur d’études cinématographiques et de rhétorique à l’université de Berkeley, en Californie. Son ouvrage de référence, Hard Core: Power, Pleasure and the “Frenzy of the Visible” est le premier à avoir théorisé le cinéma pornographique. Elle est également l’auteur de Playing the Race Card: Melodramas of Black and White from Uncle Tom to O. J. Simpson, une histoire culturelle des rapports entre Blancs et Noirs aux États-Unis.

Die Überwindung von autoritären Formen der Kindererziehung und monogamen, eheähnlichen Zweierbeziehungen war immer wieder integraler Bestandteil utopischer Gesellschaftsentwürfe auf Seiten der politischen Linken. Ebenso waren viele AktivistInnen der 1968er-Bewegung der Überzeugung, soziale Revolution sei nicht ohne "befreite" Sexualität denkbar. Die Hoffnungen, die mit der Idee einer "sexuellen Revolution" verbunden wurden, haben sich jedoch nicht erfüllt: Radikale Kommune-Projekte scheiterten, die fortschreitende Liberalisierung führte zur Kommerzialisierung von Sex(arbeit). Feministinnen kritisierten zu Recht, dass Fragen von Reproduktionsarbeit und Heterosexismus in gesellschaftsverändernden Entwürfen der Linken nur selten mitbedacht wurden. Mit der vorliegenden Dokumentation von linkskommunistischen, freudo-marxistischen und (queer)-feministischen Texten wird die Frage aufgeworfen, inwiefern Projekte einer gesamtgesellschaftlichen politischen Emanzipation mit einer Kritik der Sexualität einhergehen kann. Dabei geht es auch um neue Beziehungsformen wie die "erotische Freundschaft", Praktiken zur Überwindung einer genitalfixierten Sexualität oder um die Frage, wie (Un-)Lust mit Lohnarbeit zusammenhängt. Über den Umweg einer historischen Spurensuche versucht dieses Buch, emanzipatorische Elemente freizulegen.

Linda Williams Harris takes the reader through joys of motherhood as well as the tragic death of her son. In her poetry we understand the depth of a mother''s love and the devastation death can bring to the soul. But more importantly we see the source of her strength and how her faith in God was renewed during her journey through grief. A Flower In My Garden speaks of her role as a new mother, of rearing small children, and then coping with the sudden tragic death of her second child. Each poem tells a story of its own. The reader shares her most intimate feelings as she faces for the first time entering in his room, disposing of his things, and the hurt each new season brings. A Thought in the Night was actually written first. Linda believes these poems were reconciling with God. Her need to purge the anger and guilt and find peace with death was necessary for her healing to begin. Since writing this book, Linda has developed a new sense of purpose. She hopes this book will help others find new meaning to their life after the death of a child.
