This book explores the concept of consent in different contexts
with an aim toward exploring the nuances of what consent means to
different people and in different contexts. While it is generally
agreed that consent is a fluid concept, legal and social attempts
to explain the meaning of consent often centre on overly
simplistic, narrow and binary definitions and to view consent as
something that occurs at a specific point in time. This book
examines the nuances of consent and how it is enacted and
re-enacted in different settings (including online spaces) and
across time. Consent is most often connected to the idea of sexual
assault and is often viewed as a straight-forward concept and one
that can be easily explained. Yet there is confusion among the
public, as well as among academics and professionals as to what
consent truly is and even the degree to which individuals
conceptualise and act on their own ideas about consent within their
own lives. Topics covered include: consent in digital and online
interactions, consent in education, consent in legal settings and
the legal boundaries of consent, and consent in sexual situations
including sex under the influence of substances, BDSM, and kinky
sex. This book will appeal to students and scholars interested in
issues of consent from the social sciences, gender theory, feminist
studies, law, psychology, public health, and sexuality studies.
This book explores ‘difficult conversations’ in feminist theory
as an integral part of social and theoretical transformations.
Focusing on intersectionality within feminist theory, the book
critically addresses questions of power and difference as a central
feminist concern. It presents ethical, political, social, and
emotional dilemmas while negotiating difficult conversations,
particularly in terms of sexuality, class, ‘race’, ethnicity
and cross-identification between the researcher and researched.
Topics covered include challenging cultural relativism; queer
marginalisation; research and affect; and feminism and the digital
realm. This book is aimed primarily at students, lecturers and
researchers interested in epistemology, research methodology,
gender, identity, and social theory. The interdisciplinary nature
of the book is aimed at reaching the broadest possible audience,
including those engaged with feminist theory, anthropology, social
policy, sociology, psychology and geography.
