Over the course of the past thirty years, there has been an
explosion of work on sexuality, both conceptually and
methodologically. From a relatively limited, specialist field, the
study of sexuality has expanded across a wide range of social
sciences. Yet as the field has grown, it has become apparent that a
number of leading edge critical issues remain. This theory-building
book explores some of the areas in which there is major and
continuing debate, for example, about the relationship between
sexuality and gender; about the nature and status of
heterosexuality; about hetero- and homo-normativity; about the
influence and intersection of class, race, age and other factors in
sexual trajectories, identities and lifestyles; and about how best
to understand the new forms of sexuality that are emerging in both
rich world and developing world contexts. With contributions from
leading and new scholars and activists from across the globe, this
book highlights tensions or 'flash-points' in contemporary debate,
and offers some innovative ways forward in terms of thinking about
sexuality - both theoretically and with respect to policy and
programme development. An extended essay by Henrietta Moore
introduces the volume, and an afterword by Jeffrey Weeks offers
pointers for the future. The contributors bring together a range of
experiences and a variety of disciplinary perspectives in engaging
with three key themes of sexual subjectivity and global
transformations, sexualities in practice, and advancing new
thinking on sexuality in policy and programmatic contexts. It is of
interest to students, researchers and activists in sexuality,
sexual health and gender studies, especially those working from
public health, sociological and anthropological perspectives.
