EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION: MOJO AND THE SEXUAL LOGIC OF LATE CAPITALISM
1999
Overview
From the recent spate of films dealing with the so-called sexual revolution ranging from Boogie Nights, The People vs Larry Flynt, The Ice Storm, Stonewall and so on, a nostalgic reworking of sexual politics of the 1960s and 70s may be seen as a powerful (if implicit) commentary on constructions of the experience of sexuality today. Beyond the more obvious collusion of cinema and sexology as a convenient, legitimizing plot device for sexual display, author Charlotte Pagni offers an analysis of the film's production history and critical reception as avenues for understanding the continued struggle for sexual liberation today. By unearthing and querying the troubled politics of heterosexuality which he sees at the heart of these films, Waugh shows how their marginalized, subtextual negotiation of homosexuality gets lumped in with other conflicts such as racism, aggression and federalism in Canada's relatively nascent feature film industry.
