Focusing on a variety of representations, from the boundary-shattering work of queer performances to the daring conjunction of childhood sexual abuse and desire in the work of Dorothy Allison, Between the Body and the Flesh stimulates discussions of s/m through the exploration of censorship in the arts, the fetishization of sexual paraphernalia, recombinations of class, race and sexuality, and the politics of psychoanalysis.

Focuses on the ways in which lesbian sadomascochistic sexual practices have been engaged by critics and theorists. The text notes how this much-reviled area of sexuality has emerged as a Rorschach test for diverse communities that are struggling to come to grips with their own sexual anxieties.
