Modern Eroticism by Christopher Miller

"Modern Eroticism" explores how technology, media, and globalization have reshaped our understanding and expression of eroticism in the 21st century. It examines the impact of digital technologies like the internet and social media on the accessibility and dissemination of erotic content. For instance, the rise of online erotic communities demonstrates how technology has fostered new spaces for sexual expression and exploration.
The book also considers how globalization blends diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality, influencing erotic themes and potentially leading to cultural appropriation. This book argues that these forces have collectively democratized and diversified erotic discourse, while also introducing new ethical and aesthetic challenges.
Consider how media representations, from films to blogs, contribute to evolving standards of beauty and desire. It progresses across three parts: establishing a theoretical framework, analyzing case studies illustrating the influence of technology and media, and examining the effects of globalization. The analysis draws from literary texts, films, online content, and academic research, offering valuable insights into navigating the complex world of contemporary sexuality.
