Global Sex

"Global Sex" is the first major work to take on the globalization of sexuality, examining the ways in which desire and pleasure--as well as ideas about gender, political power, and public health--are framed, shaped, or commodified by a global economy in which more and more cultures move into ever-closer contact.

Riassunto

This volume tackles the issues of globalization and sexuality. Looking at how pleasures of the body are framed, shaped and commercialized in the new global economy, the book explores the impact on gender relations, politics, the ways in which we imagine our own sense of self, and other issues.
