Bringing together theory and public health practice, this
interdisciplinary collection analyses three forms of
nonconventional or radical sexualities: bareback sex, BDSM
practices, and public sex. Drawing together the latest empirical
research from Brazil, Canada, Spain, and the USA, it mobilizes
queer theory and poststructuralism, engaging the work of theorists
such as Bataille, Butler, Deleuze and Guattari, and Foucault, among
others. While the collection contributes to current research in
gender and sexuality studies, it does so distinctly in the context
of empirical investigations and discourses on critical public
health. Radical Sex Between Men: Assembling Desiring-Machines will
be of interest to advanced undergraduate students, postgraduate
students, and researchers in gender and sexuality studies,
sexology, social work, anthropology, and sociology, as well as
practitioners in nursing, medicine, allied health professions, and
psychology.
Drawing on a broad range of approaches in the fields of sociology,
anthropology, political science, history, philosophy, medicine and
nursing, Power and the Psychiatric Apparatus exposes psychiatric
practices that are mobilized along the continuum of repression,
transformation and assistance. It critically examines taken for
granted psychiatric practices both past and current, shedding light
on the often political nature of psychiatry and reconceptualizing
its central and sensitive issues through the radical theory of
figures such as Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Goffman, and Szasz.
As such, this ground-breaking collection embraces a broad
understanding of psychiatric practices and engages the reader in a
critical understanding of their effects, challenging the
discipline's altruistic rhetoric of therapy and problematizing the
ways in which this is operationalized in practice. A comprehensive
exploration of contested psychiatric practices in healthcare
settings, this interdisciplinary volume brings together recent
scholarship from the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia, to
provide a rich array of theoretical tools with which to engage with
questions related to psychiatric power, discipline and control,
while theorizing their workings in creative and imaginative ways.

This comprehensive volume explores various forms of violence in
health care settings. Using a broad range of critical approaches in
the field of anthropology, cultural studies, gender studies,
political philosophy and sociology, it examines violence following
three definite yet interrelated streams: institutional and
managerial violence against health care workers or patients;
horizontal violence amongst health care providers and finally,
patients' violence towards health care providers. Drawing together
the latest research from Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US,
(Re)Thinking Violence in Health Care Settings engages with the work
of critical theorists such as Bourdieu, Butler, Foucault, Latour,
and Zizek, amongst others, to address the issue of violence and
theorise its workings in creative and controversial ways. As such,
it will be of interest to sociologists and anthropologists with
research expertise in health, medicine, violence and organisations,
as well as to health care professionals.

Critical Interventions in the Ethics of Healthcare argues that
traditional modes of bioethics are proving incommensurable with
burgeoning biotechnologies and consequently, emerging
subjectivities. Drawn from diverse disciplines, this volume works
toward a new mode of discourse in bioethics, offering a critique of
the current norms and constraints under which Western healthcare
operates. The contributions imagine new, less paternalistic, terms
by which bioethics might proceed - terms that do not resort to
exclusively Western models of liberal humanism or to the logic of
neoliberal economies. It is argued that in this way, we can begin
to develop an ethical vocabulary that does justice to the
challenges of our age. Bringing together theorists, practitioners
and clinicians to present a wide variety of related disciplinary
concerns and perspectives on bioethics, this volume challenges the
underlying assumptions that continue to hold sway in the ethics of
medicine and health sciences.
Within a variety of practice environments, health professionals
often experience feelings of disgust and repulsion towards the
presence of an abject object. Cadaverous, sick, disabled bodies,
troubled minds, wounds, vomit and so forth are all part of health
and care work and threaten the clean and proper bodies of those who
undertake it, yet this 'unclean' side of health work is rarely
accounted for in academic literature. This volume employs the work
of Julia Kristeva through a range of case studies drawn from care
and nursing settings around the world. It brings together work from
researchers and practitioners within the social and health
sciences, the caring professions and psychotherapy, to expose and
highlight the important impact of the concept of abjection, which
historically has been silenced in the health sciences.

A nostalgic collection of portraiture and interviews featuring not
only your favorite artists from the 1980s, but also artists you
should know. The influence of '80s culture is undeniable, perhaps
most popularly in music. So what are the musicians who built the
sonic landscape of the '80s up to? Photographer Mike Hipple seeks
to answer this and other burning questions with 40+ influential
performers of the '80s, including Lol Tolhurst from the Cure, Cindy
Wilson from the B-52s, Robyn Hitchcock, punk pioneer Alice Bag, and
Kristin Hersh from Throwing Muses. Join Hipple on this fan's
journey to three countries and all four corners of the US to get an
intimate look at these hit makers' stories. Some are still
releasing critically acclaimed records and touring, some could be
the rock star that lives next door, and at least one is living a
bohemian lifestyle in a 100-year-old farmhouse. Complete with a
deft foreword by television personality and Esquire's L.A.-based
editor-at-large Dave Holmes, this is the perfect book for fans of
the eighties.
Fun, bright, and playful, Power Pop is a sometimes adored,
sometimes maligned, often misunderstood genre of music. From its
heyday in the 70s and 80s to its resurgence in the 90s and 00s,
Power Pop has meant many things to many people. In Go All The Way,
today's best and brightest writers go deep on what certain Power
Pop bands and songs mean and have meant to them. Whether they love
or hate it, Go All The Way is a dive into the Beatles-inspired pop
rock of the last five decades. Featuring: Heather Havrilesky on
