What does it mean to be naked in public? Approaching this question from across the disciplines, this book examines the evolution of female exhibitionism from criminal taboo to prime-time entertainment. Taking an interdisciplinary approach which brings together all fields of popular culture including literature, media, film and linguistics, 'Naked Exhibitionism' examines gendered exhibitionism from the mid-twentieth century to the present day and asks whether bodily exposure provides the liberation it professes or restricts our most secret selves to the sanitised realm of socially-sanctioned gender roles. Innovative, unflinching and pertinent, 'Naked Exhibitionism' explores naked bodies in the public gaze and critically reformulates the feminist and cultural debate around the performance of gender.
