The edited volume 'Intimate Relationships in Cinema, Literature and 
Visual Culture inquires into the representation of intimate 
relationships in a diverse array of media including cinema, arts, 
literature, picture books, advertising and popular music. It examines 
artistic portrayal of intimate relationships as a subversion of the 
boundaries between the representable and the non-representable, the real 
and the surreal, the visceral and the ideal, the embodied and the 
abstracted, the configured and transfigured. The essays focus on 
artistic mediation of intimacy in diverse relationships, including 
heterosexual, same-sex, familial, sibling, political and 
sadomasochistic. The collection offers new interdisciplinary and 
multicultural perspectives on current trends in the study of popular 
representations of intimacy; representations that affect and formulate 
people's most personal inspirations, desires, angsts, dreams and 
nightmares in an increasingly alienated, industrialized world.
