Reviews
"Making Sex Public and Other Cinematic Fantasies is a vital contribution to queer studies and cinema studies. Young's exquisitely written argument is richly loaded with insight and provocation and is bound to stimulate wide-ranging discussion in the fields with which it engages." -- Guy Davidson * Continuum *
"Damon R. Young's rigorously researched and beautifully written first book, Making Sex Public and Other Cinematic Fantasies, is fundamentally a transnational and transatlantic study of how sex became, as the title goes, visible." -- Ricky Varghese * Public *
"Making Sex Public intervenes with insight, eclecticism, and lively erudition into a period often approached through familiar narratives.... Young offers a fresh series of coordinates, widely dispersed yet carefully choreographed." -- Nick Davis * GLQ *
"Making Sex Public is a deliberate text that carefully controls its scope and claims.... [It] offers an impressive toolkit of critical language and cinematic insights for a wide range of scholars and is a more than deserving entry into the broader canon of writing on screen sex." -- Sam Hunter * Film & History *
"Young's Making Sex Public is essential reading for those working in queer and feminist cinema studies." -- Haley Hvdson * Synoptique *
"[An] important and original theoretical intervention in queer theory and film studies." -- Nick Rees-Roberts * Journal of the History of Sexuality *
