Taylor & Francis Nuances of Sexual Consent
Book SynopsisSexual consent represents the willingness to engage in sexual behaviour with another person. This book presents a collection of research studies that sought to uncover intricacies related to how people experience, communicate, or perceive such willingness. Is consent sexy? To what extent are descriptions of nonconsensual sex discomforting? Do past instances of nonconsensual sex affect how people experience consent in subsequent relationships? Can you be willing to have sex but not want to? When two people go home together after a date, does that mean they are consenting to have sex? What roles do gender or sexual orientation play regarding sexual consent? Does consent matter for interactions with sex robots? These questions and more are the focus of the studies described within. The many nuances underlying a personâs willingness to engage in sexual behaviour emphasise that the process of sexual consent must be ongoing and requires mutual respect between those involved.NuancesTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. Is consent sexy? Comparing evaluations of written erotica based on verbal sexual consent 3.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Gender Embodiment and Fluidity in Organization and Management
Book SynopsisThis third volume in the Routledge Focus on Women Writers in Organization Studies series challenges us to think again about the implications of gender, embodiment and fluidity for organizing and managing. The themes of this book disrupt our understanding of dualisms between sex (men and women), gender (masculinity and femininity) and mind / body, and in so doing analyze the ways in which dominant power relations constitute heteronormativity throughout organizational history, thereby reinforcing mainstream management research and teaching. By centring the work of women writers, this book gives recognition to their thinking and praxis; each writer making political inroads into changing the lived experiences of those who have suffered discrimination, exclusion and marginalization as they consider the ways in which organizational knowledge has tended to privilege rather than problematize masculinity, fixity, control, normativity, violence and discrimination.Table of Contents1 Introduction: Gender, embodiment and fluidity in organization and managementRobert McMurray & Alison Pullen 2 Joan Acker: Champion of feminist organization theoryYvonne Benschop3 When the shoe is on the Other foot: Simone de Beauvoir and organization theory Philip Hancock & Melissa Tyler4 Julia Kristeva: Speaking of the body to understand the language of organizationsMarianna Fotaki 5 Marguerite Yourcenar: Anticipating the (queer) body (in organization studies)Chris Steyaert 6 Witnessing Eve: Eve Kosofsky SedgwickSaara L.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Fighting Identity
Book SynopsisThis book is an immersive ethnographic account of how fighters at a Polish-owned Muay Thai/kickboxing gym in East London seek to reject prior identity markers in favour of constructing one another as the same, as fighters, a category supposedly free from the negative assumptions and limitations associated with prior ascriptions such as race, class, gender and sexuality.It explores questions of subjectivity and identity by examining how and why fighters sought to disavow identity, which involved casting aside pre-established ways of thinking, feeling and acting about constructed differences to forge deep bonds of carnal convivial friendships. Yet, this book argues that becoming a fighter is highly socially contingent and remains subject to rupture due to the durability of taken-for-granted thinking about race, gender and sexuality, which, if drawn upon, could pull people out of the category of fighter and back into longer-standing durable categories. This book deploys Butler''Trade Review"A tender yet quietly punchy portrait of the precious multiracial convivialities that obtain amid the sweat, blood and tears of a (kick)boxing gym. The bonds of working-class multiculture forged through the mutual vulnerability and trust as cultivated in the gym stand here in firm resolve against the insistent weight of the racisms and nationalisms that otherwise colour our political present. Marrying patiently observed ethnographic detail with a deftly accessible and unburdened prose, Amit Singh reminds us that the anti-racisms of tomorrow are already being incubated in the ostensibly mundane spaces and practices all around us. Fighting Identity is, in other words, a moving witness to the cultural textures common to our cities that help us scope a path out of racism’s wicked diminution of the lives that we might otherwise lead together."Sivamohan Valluvan, Associate Professor of Sociology at The University of Warwick, UK; and author of The Clamour of Nationalism (2019)"What happens when Pierre Bourdieu meets Judith Butler in a kickboxing ring? Sociological sparks fly! Fighting Identity is not just a fascinating field account of the fabrication of fighters and a theoretical rumination on masculine plebeian dreams in black and white. It is also an astute sociological dissection of the making and unmaking of habitus, rooted in a community of suffering bodies that lifts its members above their mundane condition, and a deft demonstration of the carnality of identity."Loïc Wacquant, author of Body and Soul and The Invention of the "Underclass" "For anyone who ever wanted to see inside the sweaty glamour of the fighting gym, this scholarly story-telling will gratify your curiosity and touch your heart. We learn how fighters navigate the intense connections of the gym-space to unsettle racism and homophobia, at least a little, and what it is in the demanding disciplines of fight culture that edges open space to imagine more hopeful relations between us. You may also experience a strange urge to train more - embrace it."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Gender Prison and Reentry Experiences
Book SynopsisThis book explores the unique reentry experiences of incarcerated men and women who are about to be released from prisons in Portugal. By analysing gendered reentry experiences through the narratives of men and women, Gender, Prison and Reentry Experiences sheds light on current practices and strategies adopted in prisons regarding reentry and examines the structural, institutional, and personal barriers that infl uence the reentry outcome.Gender, Prison and Reentry Experiences examines the narratives built around an individual's prison experiences, their perception of the prison's impact on reentry, and their expectations after release. It reveals how men and women narrate and attribute meaning to their time in prison and how they navigate their prisoner' and gendered' identities. In doing so, this book demonstrates the importance of these identities in relation to recidivism and desistance, while also questioning the role incarceration has in further crimina

Taylor & Francis Extracting Reconciliation
Book SynopsisExtracting Reconciliation argues that reconciliation constitutes a critical contemporary mechanism through which colonialism is seeking to ensure continuing access to Indigenous lands and resources.Making use of two historical case studies concerned with the intersection of resource extraction, Crown/Inuit relations, and waste legacies in Nunavut, Canada, the authors illuminate the mechanisms of colonial and neoliberal governance globally that promise reconciliation while delivering the status quo. Through Indigenous and non-Indigenous anticolonial and posthuman concepts and theories, the book engages with the inhuman politics of settler colonial extractivism and explores the socio-ethical social justice dimensions, political possibilities, and environmental implications of a much more challenging and accountable reckoning between (settler) colonialism and Indigenous land rights.This book is of interest to students and scholars in gender studies, postcolonial studies, environmental studies, Indigenous studies, and politics.

Taylor & Francis Sigmund Freud and his Patient Margarethe Csonka
Book SynopsisWinner of the RadomÃr LuÅa Prize, German Studies Association and The American Friends of the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance, 2024Chosen for the George L. Mosse Annual Lecture in the History of Gender and Sexuality, 2024This book provides a historical analysis of one of Sigmund Freudâs least-studied cases, published in 1920 as The Psychogenesis of a Case of Homosexuality in a Woman.Scholars of sexuality often focus on Freudâs writings on male homosexuality, disregarding his views on homosexual women. This book serves as a corrective, renewing and reinvigorating interest in Freud, and demonstrating that his views on sexuality are as relevant today as ever. Part I introduces the case and explores Freudâs attitudes towards lesbianism, radical among his medical colleagues in the early twentieth century. It also puts Margarethe Csonka, the patient, at its centre. Michal Shapira considers Freudâs only treatment of a femalTrade Review'Michal Shapira’s brilliant close analysis of Sigmund Freud’s final published case study, his 1920 "The Psychogenesis of a Case of Homosexuality in a Woman," has been the least examined but perhaps one of the most relevant of his cases for our time. Shapira provides the first serious account of the circumstances and implications of his case study not only in the light of Freud’s complex dealing with racism and misogyny in his Vienna, but also the evolution of the notion of sexual perversions from the clinical and forensic psychiatry of the late 19th century through to the rise of psychoanalysis. Given the fact that the former have now reappeared on the right across the world, Shapira provides a guide to understanding their function and their political as well as personal ramifications. A book of true importance today.'Sander L. Gilman, author of Freud, Race, and Gender'Michal Shapira provides a lucid, vivid, and compelling new account of Freud’s least well-known case study. I thoroughly recommend this study to anyone interested in the history of psychoanalysis, or concerned with the vicissitudes of gender and sexuality, identity and politics in early twentieth-century Europe.'Daniel Pick, psychoanalyst, British Psychoanalytical Society; Professor of History, University of London'Michal Shapira’s latest book is a refreshing, original and revealing exploration of one of Freud’s most intriguing, misunderstood and neglected case studies, the case of the female homosexual, Margarethe Csonka, who also used the pseudonym, Sidonie Csillag. Michal Shapira has developed and filled out Freud’s rather short discussion of the case by illuminating his patient’s life and relationships in inter-war Vienna with historical research that fills in her world in rich detail. A remarkable book on a singular, resistant woman whose encounters with Freud changed the course of psychoanalysis and prefigured of our contemporary concepts of feminism, gay rights and queer theory.'Elizabeth Grosz, author of Jacques Lacan: A Feminist Introduction (Routledge, 1990)'A brilliant overview of early sexology and Freud’s relationship to the field. By situating Freud within the intellectual, political, and cultural context of his time, Shapira offers a provocative and nuanced take on Freud’s views of homosexuality. Shapira uniquely pairs a close reading of Freud’s long-overlooked 1920 case study on homosexuality in women with other records of the patient’s life and times, offering an innovative assessment of same-sex desire among women and the limits of psychoanalysis. A must-read for historians of sexuality.'Jen Manion, Ph.D, Professor of History and Sexuality, Women's & Gender Studies, Amherst College'A "fool who had a filthy imagination." Thus did the subject of Freud's sixth and final case describe him much later in life. But in Michal Shapira's discerning hands, the 1920 case of a "female homosexual" opens up a Viennese world of emancipation and daring: of glass bathtubs, love under Secessionist arches, commodious private telephone boxes – and a Freud who was much more radical than his critics often acknowledge.'Deborah Cohen, Northwestern University, Department of History 'Drawing on recent material, Shapira provides a many-tentacled, contextual approach to Freud’s 'Case of a Female Homosexual', linking sexology, criminal law, Jewish life and urban history to elaborate on Freud’s own radical ideas.'Lisa Appignanesi, Co-Author of Freud’s WomenTable of ContentsIntroduction Part I: Freud, the Medical Discourse and Female Homosexuality Part II: Margarethe Csonka/Sidonie Csillag (1900-1999): An Assimilated Jewish Female Homosexual in Modern Vienna Conclusion

Taylor & Francis Ltd Gender and German Colonialism
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the intersection between gender and colonialism primarily in German colonialism. Gender and German Colonialism is concerned with colonialism as a historical phenomenon and with the repercussions and transformations of the colonial era in contemporary racist and sexist discourses and practices relating to refugees, migrants, and people of non-European descent living in Europe. This volume contributes to the broader effort of decolonization, with particular attention to concepts of gender. Rather than focus on only one European empire, it discusses and compares multiple former colonial powers in context. In addition to German colonialism, some chapters focus on the role of gender in Dutch and Belgian colonialism in Indonesia, Africa, and the Americas.This volume will be of value to students and scholars interested in women's and gender studies, social and cultural history, and imperial and colonial history.Table of ContentsPart 1:Intimacies1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Gender of Things
Book SynopsisThe Gender of Things is a highly interdisciplinary book that explores the power relationship between gender and the material culture of technoscience, addressing a seemingly straightforward question: How does a thingsuch as a spacesuit, a humanoid robot, or a surgical instrumentbecome a gendered object?These 14 short chapters cover an original selection of things: from cosmeceuticals to early motor scooters, from Scrum boards to border walls, and from robots to the human body and its parts. By historically examining how significance has been attached to specific things and how things were designed and produced, the chapters reveal how the concept of gender has been embedded and finds expression in the material world of science and technology. With insights from science and technology studies (STS), anthropology, the history of ergonomics, museum studies, the history of science, technology, and medicine but also the philosophy and sociology of technology and feminist Trade Review'This is a fascinating book on a completely original topic, the ways in which scientific and technological things, objects, processes, machines, techniques, come to acquire a gender in the context of their patriarchal (and feminist) uses. Things are made and used by us: how they are made and the ways in which they are used - by whom, with what effects – is a central but unexplored question in Science and Technology Studies. This collection brings new political and social perspectives and new questions to our understanding of what technological ‘things’ may become.'- Elizabeth Grosz, Professor of Women's Studies and Literature, Duke University, USA'Certain things, such as ships, have long been gendered but these were thought of as exceptions to the general rule of neutrality: a thing is an "it," not a "she" or a "he." This eye-opening book shows how widespread the gendering of things actually is — and not just the things of everyday life but the things of science. From the sealing wax and string of the laboratory to genealogical databases, The Gender of Things reveals the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that the things of science and technology can be made masculine or feminine.'- Lorraine Daston, Director emerita, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, GermanyTable of ContentsIntroduction: Gendering ThingsMaria RentetziPart 1: Things in/as LaboratoriesSealing Wax and StringDonald L.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychology and Gender
Book SynopsisThis book provides an understanding of how psychology and gender are closely interrelated. It examines, critiques, and debunks some of the theoretical premises from mainstream psychology while remaining mindful and respectful of their utilities. The book brings together psychological concepts, theories, and paradigms and examines how they interplay with gender studies going beyond the typical understanding of gender as merely demographic variable.
