The MeToo movement has created a new urgency for the discussion of sex on screen. It shed a newsocial and political importance on the issue of representation (Boyle, 2019), which is yet to be sufficientlyaddressed within Film Studies. Following exemplary analysis of the relationship between sex on screenand its sociopolitical context (e.g Williams, 2008), this project will address a new corpus of film andtelevision texts placing female sexuality within the emerging discursive contexts of MeToo and feministdiscourses of the 2010s. Through this process, the project will ask: How do the discourses of MeTooframe and conceptualise female sexual agency and pleasure? How are these terms negotiated andproblematised in the audiovisual texts of this period? In what ways do the texts open up pathways thatgo beyond the conceptions of sexual power and pleasure permissible within the MeToo discourse?Moving beyond existing scholarship on MeToo (Boyle, 2019; Wilz, 2020), this project will question themovement's offerings and limitations, intervening in wider debates in feminist film theory, specificallythose pertaining to sexuality, power, aesthetics, and discourses on value. This project will build oninsights of queer and critical race theorists (e.g Bradbury-Rance, 2018; Jackson, 2018) to develop moreinclusive frameworks for examining female sexuality which challenge Mulvey's binary economy of thegaze (Mulvey, 1975) which has overdetermined the discussion on sexual exchange in the field. Attentionto race is crucial as MeToo has taken as its paradigm the experience of white women. The inclusion ofTelevision texts and the privileging of female authorship, both of which are crucial to understanding thechanges in representation over the last decade, will address further omissions in literature on screeningsex

MeToo运动为银幕上的性讨论创造了新的紧迫性。它在代表性问题上具有新的社会和政治重要性（波义耳，2019），这在电影研究中还有待解决。在对银幕上的性与其社会政治语境之间的关系进行示例性分析（例如威廉姆斯，2008）之后，本项目将讨论一个新的电影和电视文本语料库，将女性性行为置于2010年代MeToo和女权主义话语的新兴话语语境中。通过这个过程，该项目将问：如何做的话语的MeTooframe和概念化女性性机构和快乐？在这一时期的视听文本中，这些术语是如何协商和解决的？这些文本以何种方式打开了超越MeToo话语中所允许的性权力和快乐概念的途径？超越现有的学术对我也（波义耳，2019年;威尔兹，2020年），该项目将质疑运动的产品和局限性，在更广泛的辩论中介入女权主义电影理论，特别是那些有关性，权力，美学和价值的话语。该项目将建立在酷儿和批判性种族理论家的见解（例如Bradbury-Rance，2018;杰克逊，2018）的基础上，以开发更具包容性的框架来研究女性性行为，挑战Mulvey的二元凝视经济（Mulvey，1975），该经济过度决定了该领域关于性交换的讨论。关注种族是至关重要的，因为MeToo已经将白色女性的经历作为其典范。电视文本的纳入和女性作者身份的确认，这两者对于理解过去十年中表现形式的变化至关重要，将解决文学作品中关于性别的进一步遗漏
