Offers new perspectives on Madonna's work to date. An international array of scholars portrays her popularisation of the notion that identity is not fixed & can be continuously rearranged & revamped. Explores the themes of gender, sexuality, ethnicity and celebrity comsumption through the lens of Madonna's songs, videos & shows.

Borrowing its title from Gregg Araki's 2005 film, in which the camera's contemplation of the male body encourages us to feel that body, and covering a span of subjects and films, this title offers a representative picture of the depiction of the male body in contemporary world cinemas than has hitherto been attempted.

In post-Franco Spain, a re-shaping of notions of the masculine has been under way for some time. This book demonstrates how contemporary Spanish films, during this period, have contributed to this process, by visualizing the ways in which Spanish men have been abandoning old self images and adopting new ones.
