Beschreibungen
<span><span>First broadcast on HBO in 1998, </span><span>Sex and the City</span><span> quickly became a mainstream success. Following four women who navigate the promise and peril of social, political, and sexual relationships in New York, the series caused a stir in the popular media. Academia also responded with a remarkable body of criticism for such an apparently trivial program. But more than ten years after the show ended, there is still much more to say about this cultural phenomenon that spawned two film sequels.</span></span>
<br>
<span></span>
<br>
<span><span>In </span><span>Talking Dirty on</span><span> Sex and the City</span><span>: Romance, Intimacy, Friendship</span><span>, Beatriz Oria explores the discourses surrounding the series from a sociological point of view. Specifically, this book focuses on the conventions of the romantic comedy genre and how its familiar fictional world articulates issues of intimacy, gender identity, and interpersonal relationships. Oria considers how generic conventions employed by the show affect discourses on intimacy and how interpersonal relationships at the turn of the century have not only been represented but also fashioned through a relevant popular-culture text.</span></span>
<br>
<span></span>
<br>
<span><span>The author also explores such elements as romantic versus democratic love, the representation of female sexuality, and new family models. With an interdisciplinary approach, this book touches on many different areas, including sociology, psychology, gender studies, and media studies. Aimed at a broad academic audience, </span><span>Talking Dirty on</span><span> Sex and the City will also appeal to longtime fans, who are no doubt still gossiping about the show.</span></span>

<span><span>Sex and the City</span><span> (1998-2004) was one of the most popular programs on HBO, spawned two successful feature films in 2008 and 2010, and continues to do well in syndication. This book explores how </span><span>Sex and the City</span><span> represents the conventions of romantic comedy in order to create a familiar fictional world of intimacy, gender identity, and interpersonal relationships. Rather than tackle debates about whether the show was revolutionary or conservative in its representation of gender, class, race, and female sexuality (which has already been covered by other books), the author discusses the show’s complexity as a multi-faceted text which routinely provides a diversity of perspectives. </span></span>
