{"product_id":"sex-ed-robert-eberwein-9780813526379","title":"Sex Ed: Film, Video and the Framework of Desire","description":"In a 1914 movie, Damaged Goods, a doctor shows a character the horrific effects of venereal disease. In contrast, many of today's sex ed videos encourage viewers to realize their sexuality more fully as a source of pleasure. In Sex Ed, Robert Eberwein demonstrates how films and videos used for sex education have provided a complex ideological framework in which questions of sexuality, gender, and race are compellingly foregrounded. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEberwein starts his investigation in the silent and early sound eras with educational films used both to warn audiences about venereal disease and to provide basic contraception information. World War II movies, he states, waged their own war against venereal disease-in the armed services and at home. Newer works deal with birth control and focus in particular on AIDS. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSex Ed\u003c\/i\u003e also highlights the classroom. Eberwein draws connections between the earliest and most recent examples of educational films as he analyzes their ideological complexity. He concludes by examining marriage-manual films of the early 1970s and very recent videos for couples and individuals seeking instruction in sexual techniques to increase pleasure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Eberwein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081352637X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813526379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.10w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/1999 pg. 116","brand":"Robert Eberwein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072807858431,"sku":"9780813526379","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_224fe376-f3a9-4908-b5d3-a6329f1c5836.jpg?v=1685444051","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sex-ed-robert-eberwein-9780813526379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
