Technologies of Sexuality, Identity and Sexual Health highlights
the complex ways in which sexuality is expressed and enacted
through local ideologies, global identities and material cultures,
and their influence on people's sexual health and well-being. Its
impetus is the renewed interest in technology and the 'social life
of things,' including pharmaceuticals, expanded sexual and related
surgery, the growing exploitation of markets for sexual and
contraceptive products, and the impact of these on sexual and
health practices and outcomes. Organised loosely into three parts,
the opening chapters concentrate on female contraception, its
availability, and the varied cultural significance attached to the
ability to control its use, exploring the politics of reproductive
health and birth control, and the ties between technology and
power. The middle section turns its attention to men, and the
impact of traditional and contemporary concerns about masculinity,
and the social and sexual roles of men. The final chapters look at
the commonalities across cultural borders and sexual gendered
identities - how products and procedures travel, not only through
the formal channels of globalisation, but also informally, carried
by individuals across cultural and social boundaries through
sexual, social and commercial interactions. The volume brings
together anthropologists, sociologists and cultural studies
scholars, both senior and emerging, from around the globe. Offering
an important and topical contribution to the developing global
literature on sexuality, sexual identity, culture and health, it is
of interest to researchers and advanced students in these areas.
