This book illustrates how intimate workers in different
socio-cultural contexts negotiate the commercial uses of their
sexuality, identity, affect, and bodies, thereby often defying
inequality, impoverishment, and resource depletion in their
regions. The studies shed light on the multi-faceted experiences of
subjects involved in intimate economies, oscillating between
personal empowerment and agency, as well as the required subjection
to the demands of the current market regime, entailing
participation in precarious employment, often involving bodily
risk, economic exploitation and stigmatization. The contributions
demonstrate the interrelatedness of market intimacy, family
economies, and transnational care arrangements, and thereby
challenge Western notions of the subject and the free market.
