Taylor & Francis Ltd Reading Sexualities
Book SynopsisReading Sexualities confronts the reigning practices, priorities, and preoccupations of queer theory and sexuality studies. Looking at a range of texts, from novels to travel narratives to internet porn, Donald E. Hall deftly weaves the theoretical with the literary in order to: examine the vexed ethical, critical, and political questions arising from sexual consumerism and cross-cultural encounters read the changing landscape of sexual identity, finding great cause for optimism and enthusiastic engagement urge readers to embrace a far-reaching dialogic practice as a mechanism for furthering radical social change. Reading Sexualities shows how our sexual desires and bases for identification are being widely challenged and changed. Drawing on hermeneutic theory and the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer, Hall argues that by approaching sexual diversity with openness and humility, we become active participants in the polTrade Review'A thoughtful and refreshingly pointed introduction to the principle questions quickening the present and the future of queer theory.'

Taylor & Francis Politics of Sexuality
Book SynopsisThis book recognises sexuality as a mainstream concept in political analysis and explores issues in the politics of sexuality that are highly salient and controversial today. These include conceptions of citizenship and nationality linked to gender and sexuality, the legislation about the age of consent, prostitution and 'trafficing in women', the international politics of population control, abortion, sexual harrassment, and sexuality in the military. The international team of contributors provide a wide range of perspectives in a variety of contexts. On a national level they offer illustrative case studies from the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain and Israel among others, and on an international plane they cover the European Union, the UN Conference on Population and Development and the role of the Vatican as international arbiter. Moreover, the volume addresses the interaction between political discourse and the work of major theorists such as Weber, Freud, Foucault, Irigaray andTable of ContentsIntroduction, Terrell Carver, Véronique Mottier; Part I Citizens’ sexualities; Chapter 1 Sexual citizenship, Terrell Carver; Chapter 2 Sexual citizens, Matthew Waites; Chapter 3 Sexuality and the law, John R.

Taylor & Francis Cities and Gender
Book SynopsisMen and women experience the city differently: in relation to housing assets, use of transport, relative mobility, spheres of employment and a host of domestic and caring responsibilities. An analysis of urban and gender studies, as co-constitutive subjects, is long overdue.Cities and Gender is a systematic treatment of urban and gender studies combined. It presents both a feminist critique of mainstream urban policy and planning and a gendered reorientation of key urban social, environmental and city-regional debates. It looks behind the headlines' on issues of transport, housing, uneven development, regeneration and social exclusion, for instance, to account for the hidden' infrastructure of everyday life. The three main sections on ''Approaching the City'', ''Gender and Built Environment'' and, finally, ''Representation and Regulation'' explore not only the changing environments, working practices and household structures evident in European and North American citTrade Review"This book makes an important contribution to urban studies and gender studies by combining a discussion of the Global South with urban scholarship that has focused on Europe and the US, bridging the gaps that keep us from seeing important worldwide continuities and connections."Professor Jessica Sewell, Boston University, USA"Cities and Gender provides a detailed ethnographic analysis demonstrating how gendered power relations are manifest in the structure of cities and everyday life within. At last, an accessible and incisive text that succeeds in intertwining urban and gender analysis."

Taylor & Francis The New Social Theory Reader
Book SynopsisThis is the first anthology to thematize the dramatic upward and downward shifts that have created the new social theory, and to present this new and exciting body of work in a thoroughly trans-disciplinary manner. In this revised second edition readers are provided with a much greater range of thinkers and perspectives, including new sections on such issues as imperialism, power, civilization clash, health and performance. The first section sets out the main schools of contemporary thought, from Habermas and Honneth on new critical theory, to Jameson and Hall on cultural studies, and Foucault and Bourdieu on poststructuralism. The sections that follow trace theory debates as they become more issues-based and engaged. They are: the post-foundational debates over morality, justice and epistemological truth the social meaning of nationalism, multiculturalism and globalization identity debates around gender, sexuality, race, the self and post-coloniality. This new edition provides more ample biographical and intellectual introductions to each thinker, and substantial introductions to each of the major sections. The editors introduce the volume with a newly revised, interpretive overview of social theory today.The New Social Theory Reader is an essential, reliable guide to current theoretical debates.Trade Review"Seidman and Alexander compiled a collection of essays on social theory in 2001. In the time since enough has changed to warrant a much expanded second edition. The authors give in-depth introductions to each section. The first articles review the latest theories. Then they move from macro to microcosm. From ephemeral concepts like truth, ethics and justice, the authors then look at new ways of defining power, then societies: postmodern, multi-cultural, national, global and imperial. The final focus is on self-definition by race, nationality, gender, sexuality and post colonial identification. Many of the articles have already appeared in a variety of journals. This updated edition is of interest to sociologists and ideal for university classrooms." - Book News Inc., August 2008Table of ContentsPart 1: General Theory without Foundations.

Taylor & Francis Maternal Encounters
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2009 Feminist & Women''s Studies Association (UK & Ireland) Book Award!Many women find mothering a shocking experience in terms of the extremity of feelings it provokes, and the profound changes it seems to prompt in identity, relationship and sense of self. However, although motherhood can catapult us into a state of internal disarray, it can also provide us with a unique chance to make ourselves anew. How then do we understand this radical potential for transformation within maternal experience? In Maternal Encounters, Lisa Baraitser takes up this question through the analysis of a series of maternal anecdotes, charting key destabilizing moments in the life of just one mother, and using these to discuss many questions that have remained resistant to theoretical analysis the possibility for a specific feminine-maternal subjectivity, relationality and reciprocity, ethics and otherness.Working across contemporary phTrade Review"A welcome addition to the Women and Psychology Series of books. ... It can be used to both teach and prompt discussions about motherhood across multiple disciplines." - Sue Child, University of Exeter, UK, in Sociology"This is an extremely unusual, subtle and important book. Lisa Baraitser produces a demanding and timely theoretical argument that presents maternity as a site for the construction of subjectivity and for the development of a new understanding of the ethics of relationality. She draws together an array of contemporary feminist, philosophical and psychoanalytic theory, whilst maintaining an authorial voice that is intensely personal, lively, accessible, humorous and humane. Maternal Encounters is a remarkable achievement." - Stephen Frosh, Birkbeck College, University of London "This is a beautifully written text, demonstrating considerable skill. Lisa Baraitser has produced a book that speaks of a scholar who is a highly original thinker, with a capacity to simultaneously craft an engaging story alongside the deft handling of complex theory." - Dr Gail Lewis, Reader in Identities and Psycho-Social Studies, Open University"A welcome addition to the Women and Psychology Series of books. ... It can be used to both teach and prompt discussions about motherhood across multiple disciplines." - Sue Child, University of Exeter, UK, in Sociology"Maternal Encounters is a bold and beautiful book. ... Baraitser is able, a generation later, to go much further than (Adrienne) Rich in staking a strong claim for the ethical and political importance of the maternal to wider understandings of the human condition ... Baraitser brilliantly employs maternal anecdote in her writing, beginning each chapter with a rich descriptive account of maternal experience, and then further interrupting the ‘academic’ text throughout the chapter with more anecdotes. ... Baraitser’s skill as a writer is dazzling, and it is, in part, this skill that enables her to produce what is one of the most affective and insightful phenomenological accounts of the maternal ever written. ... Despite its theoretical sophistication, this book manages to be incredibly lucid. It flows and is easy to follow and read. ... There are not many academic books that move their readers to tears, make them gasp in recognition or laugh out loud; I guarantee that Maternal Encounters will move you in profound ways." - Imogen Tyler, Lancaster University, UK, in Subjectivity"This is an extremely unusual, subtle and important book.
