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.

Under the Nazi regime in Germany a calculated killing of chronic
"mentally ill" patients took place. Nurses executed this program in
their everyday practice. However, suspicions have been raised that
psychiatric patients were also assassinated before and after the
Nazi regime, suggesting that the motives for these killings must be
investigated within psychiatric practice itself. This book
highlights the mechanisms and scientific discourses in place that
allowed nurses to perceive patients as unworthy of life. This study
analyzes patient records as "inscriptions" that actively intervene
in interactions in institutions and that create a specific reality
on their own accord. The question is not whether the reality
represented within the documents is true, but rather how documents
worked in institutions and what their effects were. It is shown how
nurses were actively involved in the construction of patients'
identities and how these "documentary identities" led to the death
of thousands of humans.
