This accessible and engaging book explores the ways that "space,
place, and sex" are inextricably linked from the micro to the macro
level, from the individual body to the globe. Drawing on queer,
feminist, gender, social, and cultural studies, Lynda Johnston and
Robyn Longhurst highlight the complex nature of sex and sexuality
and how they are connected to both virtual and physical spaces and
places. Their aim is to enrich our understanding of sexual
identities and practices whether they be lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transsexual, asexual, queer, or heterosexual. They show that bodies
are defined and connected through media such as television, movies,
ads, and the Internet, as well as through "real" places such as
homes, churches, sports arenas, city streets, beaches, and
wilderness. Drawing on a diverse array of historical and
contemporary examples, the authors argue convincingly that sexual
politics permeate all places and spaces at every level of
geographical scale. Thus, they illustrate, sexuality affects the
way people live in and interact with space and place, as space and
place in turn affect people's sexuality."
