CSC Playlist Initiative: Screening Sexual Provocation (Maria San Filippo, Emerson College) In her list, “Screening Sexual Provocation”, Maria San Filippo (Emerson College) illustrates the themes in her recently published monograph, Provocauteurs and Provocations: Selling Sex in 21st Century Media (Indiana University Press, 2021) which reassesses controversial texts— from "real sex" scenes to scandalous marketing campaigns to full-frontal nudity—to reveal the critical role that sexual provocation plays as an authorial signature and promotional strategy within the contemporary media landscape. The list can be found here: https://screenculture.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/2021/03/18/themed-playlist-screening-sexual-provocation/ And as always, all lists are available for your perusal at: https://screenculture.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/category/media-playlists/ *** CALL FOR PLAYLISTS: SCMS21 Edition This is once again a call for playlists, especially in light of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies conference taking place right now. I imagine there are a multitude of papers, panels, and workshops that could yield lists and help with the FOMO some of us are feeling as even a virtual conference is out of reach. Who knows, maybe even a game to play at one of the Zoom cocktail hours? Stay well everyone, and I look forward to the #SCMS21 updates, Leshu Dr Leshu Torchin Head of Department and Director of Research Senior Lecturer in Film Studies Department of Film Studies University of St Andrews 101a North Street St Andrews, UK KY16 9AD Tel: 44 (0) 1334 467 476 Pronouns: she | her | hers Staff Profile: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/film-studies/people/lt40 Consider perusing and/or contributing to the Themed Playlist Initiative: https://screenculture.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/category/media-playlists/ The University of St Andrews is a charity registered in Scotland, No. SC013532 ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the College of Communication and Information Sciences, the University of Alabama: https://cis.ua.edu
