Sex Work On Campus examines the experiences of college students engaged in sex work and sparks dialogue about the ways educators might develop a deeper appreciation for-and praxis of-equity and justice on campus. Analyzing a study conducted with seven college student sex workers, the book focuses on sex work histories, student motivations, and how power (or lack thereof) associated with social identity shape experiences of student sex work. It examines what these students learn because of sex work, and what college and university leaders can do to support them. These findings are combined in tandem with analysis of current research, popular culture, sex work rights movements, and exploration of legal contexts. This fresh and important writing is suitable for students and scholars in sexuality studies, gender studies, sociology, and education.

How is "gender" received by students of educational research, pedagogy and related fields? What are the students' views on gender issues? Based on the observation that interest in gender issues is perceived more as an individual and somewhat anachronistic phenomenon, the empirical study reconstructs the influence of the educational institution university and the study of the specific subject area on students. Wie wird "Geschlecht" von Studierenden der Erziehungs- und Bildungswissenschaften rezipiert? Wie stehen die Studierenden zu Geschlechterfragen? Ausgehend von der Beobachtung, dass das Inte¬resse an Geschlechterfragen eher als individuelle und zudem etwas anachronistische Erscheinung wahrgenommen wird, rekonstruiert die empirische Studie, welchen Einfluss die Bildungsinstitution Uni-versität sowie das Studium des spezifischen Fachgebietes auf die Studierenden haben. Ihre Stärke [der Arbeit] liegt in der ausführlichen Darstellung, Einordnung und Herleitung des Forschungsgegenstandes sowie der empirischen Methode. Netzwerk Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung NRW 37/2015 Das Buch von Sabine Klinger sucht eine Antwort auf die Frage, wie in den Erziehungs- und Bildungswissenschaften "Geschlecht" thematisiert wird und wie die Studierenden den Umgang mit Geschlechterfragen handhaben. Dazu hat die Autorin eine empirische Studie durchgeführt, der Gruppendiskussionen zugrunde liegen. In sechs Kapiteln verdeutlicht sie die Ergebnisse und stellt ihre daraus gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dar. Newsletter der Vernetzungsstellefür Gleichberechtigung, Frauen- und Gleichstellungsbeauftragte 9/2014 Die Arbeit liest sich insgesamt mit Gewinn, theoretisch und auch in der Veranschaulichung. Ihr Ergebnis lässt eher Erschrecken zurück. Allerdings kann das ja auch zu neuen Anstrengungen führen: allen im Raum der Universität, besonders in der Pädagogik und den Bildungswissenschaften Arbeitenden kann sie als didaktischer Leitfaden dienen. Aber auch Bildungsarbeiter_innen in anderen Feldern bietet sie eine Fülle von Anregungen, wie Gespräche mit jungen Erwachsenen über Geschlecht zu führen wären, damit der Glaube an die Gleichheit nicht länger die realen Verhältnisse übertüncht.

Para sumarse a los esfuerzos ya emprendidos por otros estudiosos y desde otras disciplinas de las ciencias sociales, esta obra ingresa nuevamente en el análisis de las prácticas y significados de la sexualidad. El objetivo es el mismo: entender que la sexualidad nos remite de manera compleja con otras relaciones sociales y que se encuentra cargada de valoraciones y significados contradictorios, pero ahora incorpora algunos avances en la investigación, reflexiona en ella teórica, metodológica e históricamente, y supedita todo ello a la crítica y sistematización del conocimiento sobre el tema.

"Human sexuality touches us all, pun intended. We all either enjoy it, struggle with it, or may have been victims of it. Sexuality is not just about sex, but about human sexual function, the physiology of sex, the hormones involved and how they affect us, and the cultural norms related to it. Sexual function and dysfunction are closely tied to one's self-esteem, self-respect, and to relationships with intimate partners. Human Sexuality: Function, Dysfunction, Paraphilias, and Relationships, explores the interplay of intimacy and sexuality; how it can enhance relationships, and how it can negatively affect them, or be affected by them. When individuals or partners encounter sexual problems or dysfunctions it can have a long-lasting affect both biologically and psychologically. Dr. Rokach explores the causes and the reasons that these dysfunctions are maintained, and successful treatment methods. Chapters on sexual offenses and paraphilias and what treatment options are available to sexual offenders are also included. This book is the first book to place sexuality where it belongs, within the context of relationships demonstrating how sexuality relates to intimacy by both enhancing and negatively affecting it." --

Michel Houellebecq is perhaps the single most successful and controversial of all contemporary novelists writing in French. Houellebecq has become a global publishing phenomenon: his books have been translated worldwide, three film adaptations of his work have been produced, and the author has been the subject of million-euro publishing deals and of successive media scandals in France.If Houellebecq is unique in contemporary French writing, it is thanks not only to his extraordinary success, but to the unparalleled scope of his narrative ambition. In the work which most forcefully marked his breakthrough to the mainstream - Les Particules élémentaires - Houellebecq made a significant appeal to the science-fiction genre in order to undergird his critique of contemporary society. For Houellebecq presents humanity - at least modern, western humanity - as in a terminal state of decadence and decline and ripe for replacement by its post-human successor. His novels narrate a metaphysical mutation or paradigm shift through which humanity as we know it ceases to be the over-riding value or focus of our world when it comes into conflict with a competitor in the form of a post-human or neo-human species.It is the aim of this book to appraise the global significance of Houellebecq's novelistic visions while at the same time situating them within the context of French literature, culture and society.

"In 2008, JH Phrydas wrote a story about how bodies talk without words. He wanted the story to not just describe the silent ritual of nonverbal communication but to perform it. The interaction would be visceral - the exchange melancholic, yet full of lust. He wanted words to retain the unsayable: the subtle movements of a body in heat. In the years since, Phrydas kept rewriting this story, using different techniques, different syntaxes and forms, in hopes that he would find a successful method of gestural writing. Imperial Physique is a collection of these attempts. They explore the way our bodies hover between animal and human, civil and wild. The bleakness - and underlying verve - of imagining Western empires in decline serve as a backdrop for a lone figure searching city streets, decaying architecture, and sand dunes for some type of physical connection. What arises is the loss of - and longing for - touch at the edges of imperialism, historical violence, and personal shame"--

"Sexual/Political engages with contemporary political issues in sexuality through a survey of modern philosophy, psychoanalytic thought, 20th century political theory, and more recent queer philosophies. The book investigates how the sexual has perturbed philosophical, political and psychoanalytic thought and how this has fed into discrimination against the LGBTQI community. It analyses the social stigmas applied to public and private sexual acts and the psychopolitical processes leading to the prevalence of neo-fascist populism in Italy and the world. Tracing the history of sexuality through Freud, Marx, Fanon, and Foucault, among many others, Bernini considers why the sexual has always been an exceptionally difficult object to consider in political theory. This book will be of key interest to scholars in queer theory; antisocial theory; psychoanalysis and politics; drive theory; political philosophy; critical theory; LGBTQIA+ issues; gender and sexuality studies and Italian studies"--
