It covers Western art of six centuries--from medieval woodcuts to contemporary poster art--and the cinema of six decades--from horror classics of the 1930s to recent slasher films--documenting the surprising variety of guises in which sexuality appears in fantasy art and cinema. Among the subjects treated are occult eroticism in Medieval and Renaissance art; the use of fantasy as a vehicle for depicting erotic subjects in periods of sexual repression; the fascination with unconscious and aberrant sexuality in the visual arts since the publication of Freud's theories; movie monsters and aliens as emblems of the submerged id or libido; and monstrous metamorphosis as a symbol of the changes accompanying puberty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737747849504,"sku":"NEW0313241023","price":77.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51KTbNk2DAL.jpg?v=1779572110","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/eros-in-the-minds-eye-sexuality-and-the-fantastic-in-art-and-film-contributions-to-the-study-of-science-fiction-and-fantasy-0313241023","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
