Sexuality and society : an introduction
"In this introduction to the study of sexuality, Gargi Bhattacharyya guides readers through the key theoretical debates in the area, from the everyday understanding of sex, through Foucault's technologies of self, to Judith Butler on the performance of identity, and shows how these theoretical positions apply to sexuality as it is experienced in contemporary society." "Throughout the book, Bhattacharyya argues that the study of sexuality is an essential part of broader debates on gender, 'race', citizenship and community. Topical and original, Sexuality and Society will provide students with a lucid map to the terrain and an exciting starting point for their own investigations."--BOOK JACKET
