Sexuality is a complex and multifaceted domain - encompassing
bodily, contextual and subjective experiences that resist ready
categorisation. To claim the sexual as a viable research object
therefore raises a number of important methodological questions:
what is it possible to know about experiences, practices and
perceptions of sex and sexualities? What approaches might help or
hinder our efforts to probe such experiences? This collection
explores the creative, personal and contextual parameters involved
in researching sexuality, cutting across disciplinary boundaries
and drawing on case studies from a variety of countries and
contexts. Combining a wide range of expertise, its contributors
address such key areas as pornography, sex work, intersectionality
and LGBT perspectives. The contributors also share their own
experiences of researching sexuality within contrasting
disciplines, as well as interrogating how the sexual identities of
researchers themselves can relate to, and inform, their work. The
result is a unique and diverse collection that combines practical
insights on field work with novel theoretical reflections.
