This book develops a performative and relational approach to
gendered and sexualised bodies conceived as distinct from the more
limited individualistic idea of sexual identity and orientation
that is at play within notions of progress in contemporary
transnational sexual politics. Focusing on the psychosocial
dimension of sexual life, Sabsay challenges accepted ideas of
increased emancipation, and the steady extension of rights,
offering instead a critique of the liberal imaginary that is at the
base of the sexual rights-bearing subject. The book offers a notion
of sexual embodiment that provides an alternative to individualism,
one that is social, radically relational and psychically divided,
and that implies a different conception of democratic sexual
politics for our time.This book brings together political and
cultural analysis of sexual rights discourse with a strong theory
of the relational subject whose political investments and
articulations depend on a political imaginary. This is a highly
original and methodical text which will be of particular interest
to academics and scholars of gender and sexuality studies,
sociology, politics and psychology.
