<P>Are bodies sexy? How, and in what sorts of ways? <b></b><b><i>Sexy Bodies</i></b> investigates the production of sexual bodies and sexual practices, sexualities of all kinds--dyke, bisexual, transracial, even heterosexual. While celebrating lesbian and queer sexualities, <b></b><b><i>Sexy Bodies</i></b> also explores what runs underneath and within <i>all</i> sexualities, discovering what is fundamentally strange about all bodies, all carnalities.<br> <br> Looking at a pleasurable variety of cultural forms and texts, the contributors consider the particular charms of girls and horses, from <i>National Velvet</i> to <i>Marnie</i>; discuss figures of the lesbian body, from vampires to tomboys; uncover "virtual" lesbians in the fiction of Jeanette Winterson; track desire in the music of legendary Blues singers; and investigate the ever-scrutinized and celebrated body of Elizabeth Taylor.
