The Hypersexuality of Race Performing Asian/American Women on Screen and Scene Paperback - 2007

by Celine Parreñas Shimizu; Celine Parreñas Shimizu


From the rear cover

""The Hypersexuality of Race" promises to be an influential and perhaps notorious book. Refusing to shy away from the complexity of sexuality and its contradictory meanings, Celine Parrenas Shimizu does not distinguish between positive (or politically correct) and negative sex acts but rather situates Asian (American) women's expressions of sexuality in relation to racial formation, class consciousness, and other discourses of identity. She emphasizes context and contingency."--Peter X Feng, author of "Identities in Motion: Asian American Film and Video"

Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9", displays light shelfwear. Binding is firm. Pages are clean and bright. xii/339 pages."In "The Hypersexuality of Race," Celine Parreñas Shimizu urges a shift in thinking about sexualized depictions of Asian/American women in film, video, and theatrical productions. Shimizu advocates moving beyond denunciations of sexualized representations of Asian/American women as necessarily demeaning or negative. Arguing for a more nuanced approach to the mysterious mix of pleasure, pain, and power in performances of sexuality, she advances a theory of "productive perversity," a theory which allows Asian/American women—and by extension other women of color—to lay claim to their own sexuality and desires as actors, producers, critics, and spectators.Shimizu combines theoretical and textual analysis and interviews with artists involved in various productions. She complicates understandings of the controversial portrayals of Asian female sexuality in the… Read More
