Hello there! We are continuing our talks about nudity, nakedness, and bodies' representations in art. In this episode, we decided to focus more particularly on the notion of eroticism and how it is portrayed, for example, by Wilhelm van Gloeden. The episode sheds light on different issues of eroticism representation, how it is tight to voyeurism and how it can be overturned. Enjoy!

- Jason Goldman , "The Golden Age of Gay Porn": Nostalgia and the Photography of Wilhelm von Gloeden," in A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, Volume 12, Number 2, 2006, pp. 237-258.
