What makes up a public, what governs dominant discourses, and in which ways can counterpublics be created through narrative? This edited collection brings together essays on affect and narrative theory with a focus on the topics of gender and sexuality. It explores the power of narrative in literature, film, art, performance, and mass media, the construction of subjectivities of gender and sexuality, and the role of affect in times of crisis. By combining theoretical, literary, and analytical texts, the contributors offer methodological impulses and reflect on the possibilities and limitations of affect theory in cultural studies.

The OECD review of Gender Equality in Peru: Towards a Better Sharing of Paid and Unpaid Work is the second of a series focusing on Latin American and the Caribbean countries. It compares gender gaps in labour and educational outcomes in Peru with other countries. Particular attention is put on the uneven distribution of unpaid work, and the extra burden this places on women. It investigates how policies and programmes in Peru can make this distribution more equitable. The first part of the report reviews the evidence on gender gaps and on what causes these, including the role played by attitudes. The second part develops a comprehensive framework to address these challenges, presenting a broad range of options to reduce the unpaid work burden falling on women, and to increase women's labour income. The final part discusses the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and considers how the policy priorities of the government will have to change to address these. An earlier review in the same series has looked at gender equality policies in Chile (2021).

Sex and gender in biomedicine are innovative research concepts of theoretical and clinical medicine that enable a better understanding of health and disease, evidence-based knowledge, effective therapies, and better health outcomes for women and men. Gender Medicine stimulates new ways of doing research: that is to consider sex and gender at all levels of research, from basic research into gene polymorphisms to health behaviour. New research questions have been put forward that focus not on differences per se but on the development of differences. In this book, contributions from the field of neuroscience, addiction research, and organ transplantation exemplify concepts, approaches, methods and results in the field.

"This book compares perspectives on gender equality and diversity in Norway and Japan, focusing on family, education, media and technology, sexuality and reproduction, and literature as seen through a gendered lens. What can we learn from a comparison between two countries who stand in significant contrast to each other with respect to gender equality? Norway and Japan differ in terms of historical, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Most importantly, Japan lags far behind Norway when it comes to the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Report. Rather than taking a narrow approach which takes as its starting point the assumption that Norway has so much "more" to offer in terms of gender equality, the authors attempt to show that a comparative perspective of two countries in the West and East can be of mutually benefit to both contexts in the advancement of gender equality. The interdisciplinary team of researchers contributing to this book cover a range of contemporary topics in gender equality and diversity including; fatherhood and masculinity, teaching and learning in Gender Studies education, cultural depictions of gender, technology, trans experiences and feminism. This unique collection is suitable for researchers and students in gender studies, sociology, Japan Studies and European Studies"--

Few crimes capture the interest and attention of the public as sexual driven crime. Relapsing sex offenders especially spark debates on how best to deal with this particular group. Incidents of serious sexual crimes are, fortunately, rare in Germany which partly complicates empirical research into sexual criminality. This study aims to contribute to an understanding of sexual crimes by providing an overview of such offences in Germany by nature of the offence, offender-types, penalties and (partially) criminal careers from the perspective of judicial oversight of sexual crime. The study examines 9,430 sexual offenders from all over Germany based on data from the Federal Central Criminal Register where either custodial sentences were served or non-custodial sanctions imposed in the base year. It tracks the sample group over six years comparing their outcomes with other non-sexual offender types.

These may vary from individual to individual depending upon gender identity, orientation, intention, desire, arousal, orgasm, and emotional satisfaction.The sexual response cycle involves different phases, including excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. These phases may not be the same or follow the same order in different people. This book deals with the origins of human sexuality, sex development, gender, sexual health, sexuality, and disability. The book also gives a bird's eye view of how the COVID-19 pandemic affected human sexuality.

Obwohl sexuelle Themen ein wichtiger Bestandteil der sozialpädagogischen Familienberatung und der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe sind, gibt es nur wenige Veröffentlichungen zum Thema. Auch in der konkreten Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit sind theoretische Konzepte für sexuelle Bildung und Beratung ungenügend verankert. Dieser Lücke wendet sich der vorliegende Band zu: Ausgehend von der Studie »Partner 4« zu Jugendsexualität liefert er nicht nur allgemeine Anregungen für die Beratungspraxis, sondern unterbreitet auch Vorschläge für Konzepte, die den diversen und komplexen Lebenslagen der Kinder und Jugendlichen Rechnung tragen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Sozialisationsinstanz Familie.Sexuality and Family: Possibilities of Sexual Education within the Framework of Child and Youth Care ServicesAlthough sexual issues are an important part of social pedagogical family counseling and child and youth care services, there are few publications on the subject. Also, theoretical approaches to sexual education and counseling often lack sufficient anchorage in the concrete practice of social work. This book wants to close the gap: Based on the »Partner 4« study on youth sexuality, it not only provides general suggestions for counseling but also makes proposals for concepts that take account of the diverse and complex situations of children and adolescents while focusing on the family as an instance of socialization.
