destabilization of the contexts which protect nakedness from being viewed as
sexual, and a return to the biblical and western Christian tradition of viewing the
naked as only sexual.
Only conrm what’s already read as sexual: the exposed genitalia of children
under the gaze of the grownup.
Where the parent/kid authorial relationship once shielded this frame from
being viewed as sexual, the breakdown of the circumstances, the possibility of reading
tion based on this chance, all unite to connect the photographed nude child
as a sexual object. This is far more than a mere conservative swing to pre-20th-
century bourgeois worth of propriety and decency, and far more than a backlash
against the sexual permissiveness and frequent nudity of the 1970s. Instead, this
is a case where an understanding of the instability or inefcacy of ‘circumstance’ — a
symptom of postmodern contemporary culture — accedes to a specific hysterical
conservatism in order to shield society from what might, in the commonsense
view, be considered dangerous, exploitative and trespassing.

Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnon, is exceedingly accountable for providing ‘moral’
sexual charges against the characterization of feminine and, by corollary, masculine
nudity. The more productive comprehension of this happening is really to contemplate
the slippage across circumstances as an element in a disaster of postmodern culture. The
loss of ‘easy’ denition between circumstances which enables a reading of nakedness as,
throughout late 20th century culture, is a more prevailing reason. This causes
— as backlash against ‘sexuality’ and not nudity — a restriction on depictions of
the nude in frameworks that are not definitely private, that interrupt the
public/private distinction; it also illustrates marked panics over the instability of
same-sex nakedness.

Pervading sex and sexuality is, and how easily it encroaches into areas previously
