Drawing on original empirical research, this book provides a
critical understanding of current theory in the study of sexuality.
Inter-disciplinary in approach, Jennifer Harding identifies a
series of key issues on contemporary discourses: essentialism vs
constructionism; gender and sexuality; representation and concepts
of identity; Foucalut's notion of `discourse'; and Butler's theory
of gender `performance'. These topics are explored in the light of
contemporary cultural contexts - for instance, the debate on
hormone theory and the social construction of sexuality, `gender
bending' and masculinity, the maternal body, queer families, and
constructions of motherhood and fatherhood. Critical summaries of
the main debates in the field are presented in an accessible way,
while the text forms an insightful guide to the dilemmas involved
in the private/public divide.
