‘If You’ve Got a Vagina and an Attitude, that’s a Deadly Combination’
A large body of work exists on women’s sexuality and its construction and misrepresentation in media texts, yet little research analyses explicit sex scenes in mainstream film. Drawing on textual analyses of the sex scenes in Basic Instinct (P. Verhoeven, 1992), Body of Evidence (U. Edel, 1993) and Disclosure (B. Levinson, 1994), the article addresses these issues more specifically. We argue that a consideration of the heterosexual identities and…

This issue contains a special feature entitled ‘A Marriage of Inconvenience’ that explores …

This special feature consists of ten contributions: six written by heterosexual couples who are either married or contemplating marriage, and four written by heterosexual feminists offering their personal perspectives on marriage.…
V. A Game of Two Halves
Nonresponse? Well, Not Really
A large body of literature exists on nonresponse to questionnaires, particularly in relation to the most frequently used surveys conducted by mail (Dillman, 1991). Research assessing response rate is ‘dominated by hundreds of tests of specific procedures and techniques for improving response’ (Dillman, 1991: 229). Nonresponse to questionnaires is generally seen to occur in two ways. First, the error can be created by questionnaires which are not …
