In "Gay Gaze", Robbie Howle expertly navigates the complex and often overlooked aspect of the portrayal of the male body-more specifically, the bulge-in various media channels throughout history. Journey through the early years of Hollywood, the rise of advertising, shifting fashion trends, the impact of the digital age, and much more. This book is more than an exploration of an often-overlooked element of the male form; it is a revelation of societal attitudes, changing norms, and the continuous struggle for acceptance and visibility in the face of adversity. This groundbreaking book will leave you seeing media representation in a new light, armed with a greater understanding of the interplay between sexuality, identity, and the media. Whether you're a media student, a history buff, or simply interested in untold stories from gay history, "Visible Desires" is an indispensable addition to your library.
