Applies postmodern theories to an analysis of Cindy Sherman's series Sex Pictures (Untitled ž250-264) (1992). Discusses issues such as the representation of sexuality, the concept of pornography, and the similarities or differences between the naked and the nude and the erotic and the obscene. Situates the discussion in the context of the debates about censorship and freedom of artistic expression that grew out of the culture-wars of the early 1990s. ;
