Sexuality is an integral part of our lives, and our identities. But
how do we study it? Written in a lively and accessible style,
Studying Sexualities aims to introduce students to the critical
study of sexuality, taking a look at the major theories, media
representations, and cultural practices.
After having carefully explained the key theoretical and empirical
debates on the subject - outlining Foucauldian Constructionism,
Psychoanalysis, and Queer Theory - the authors draw on their own
original research to address timely topics related to gender,
sexuality, and popular culture. Contemporary examples used within
the book include discussions of sex shops, cybersex, and sex toys,
the TV series Sex and the City, Will and Grace and The L Word, and
the immensely popular Twilight books.
Studying Sexualities is essential reading for undergraduate and
postgraduate students on Cultural, Media, Film, or visual Studies,
or Sociology and Sexuality courses, who are interested in
researching the fascinating complexities of sexuality today.
NIALL RICHARDSON is a lecturer at the University of Sussex, and

considerable teaching and writing experience within the field of
sexualities. Their specific research interests include feminism and
popular culture, queer theory, the body and consumption.
