The collection orchestrates a conversation between scholarly essay work and archival documentation offering a magnificent representation of the array of responses generated by the film, its makers, its promoters, and its audience. A multifaceted approach to the film, its popularity, and its social relevance results in a new text for understanding normative social hierarchies of sexuality, race, and gender. The Year's Work in Showgirls Studies engages with the figurative and actual place of sex work and feminized affective labor in our society"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction / Melissa Hardie, Meaghan Morris, and Kane Race -- Getting it just right : Elizabeth Berkley's ways of knowing in Showgirls / Anna Breckon -- Self-shattering in Showgirls and Black Swan / Kane Race -- "Ain't anyone ever been nice to you?" : discharging the guilty pleasure of Showgirls / Kieryn McKay -- Badness / Adrian Martin -- Showgirls, Showgirls 2, and the fate of the erotic thriller / Billy Stevenson -- Fifty shades of Showgirls : better living through mediation / Melissa Hardie -- The instability of evil : double trouble and the working girl / Meaghan Morris -- The accidental Showgirl : reminiscing with performer and pioneer feminist Lynne Hutton-Williams / Jane Chi Hyun Park and Shawna Tang -- "Fuck you!
