Its chapters collectively make the case against diagnosing some manifestations of that variability as “healthier” than others -- a habit that still finds its way into pedagogy and clinical practice, even as it becomes rarer in anthropological theory. This book will be of interest to scholars interested in the comparative study of sexuality and would be a useful pedagogical tool for graduate and advanced undergraduate instruction in that field.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedical Anthropology Quarterly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Sexual Transgression, Social Order and the Self\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHastings Donnan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFiona Magowan\u003c\/i\u003e, both at Queen's University Belfast (United Kingdom)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Sexually Active Virgins: Negotiating Adolescent Femininity, Colour and Safety in Cape Town\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMarie Rosenkrantz Lindegaard\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAnn-Karina Henriksen\u003c\/i\u003e, both at University of Copenhagen (Denmark)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Summer Sex: Youth, Desire and the Carnivalesque at the English Seaside\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSuzanne Clisby\u003c\/i\u003e, University of Hull (United Kingdom)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e A Curious Threesome: Transgression, Conservatism and Teenage Sex in the ‘Free House’ in Northern Ireland\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRosellen Roche\u003c\/i\u003e, Queen's University Belfast (United Kingdom)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e Zoosex and Other Relationships with Animals\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRebecca Cassidy\u003c\/i\u003e, Goldsmiths College, University of London (United Kingdom)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Dancing Sexuality in the Cook Islands\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eKalissa Alexeyeff\u003c\/i\u003e, University of Melbourne (Australia)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e ‘Let Them Hear Us!’ The Politics of Same-sex Transgression in Contemporary Poland\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMonika Baer\u003c\/i\u003e, Wroclaw University (Poland)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Taming the Bush: Morality, AIDS Prevention and Gay Sex in Public Places\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eLaurent Gaissad\u003c\/i\u003e, Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Transgression and the Making of ‘Western’ Sexual Sciences\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMark Johnson\u003c\/i\u003e, Researcher\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e What Constitutes Transgressive Sex?: The Case of Child Prostitution in Thailand\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHeather Montgomery\u003c\/i\u003e, Open University (United Kingdom)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/b\u003e Courting Transgression: Customary Law and Sexual Violence in Aboriginal Australia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eFiona Magowan\u003c\/i\u003e, Queen's University Belfast (United Kingdom)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 12.\u003c\/b\u003e Managing Sexual Advances in Vanuatu\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eIngvill Kristiansen\u003c\/i\u003e, Harstad University College (Norway)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tNotes on Contributors\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038913528151,"sku":"9780857456373","price":26.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/transgressive-sex-subversion-and-control-in-erotic-encounters-13-fertility-reproduction-and-sexuality-social-and-cultural-perspectives-13-9780857456373","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
