What are the personal and political implications of this insight? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSinfield argues that hierarchies in interpersonal relations are continuous with the main power differentials of our social and political life (gender, class, age, and race); therefore it is not surprising that they govern our psychic lives. Recent writing enables an exploration of their positive potential, especially in fantasy, as well as their danger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Sexuality and Power\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the writing of the last thirty years, revisiting also Whitman, Wilde, Mann, Forster, and Genet, and reassessing the very idea of a gay canon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Sinfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231134096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231134095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.26w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 1591","brand":"Alan Sinfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056685707519,"sku":"9780231134095","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c008cddf-0889-40c9-9cc7-9b06bcab8dc7.jpg?v=1685042697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-sexuality-and-power-alan-sinfield-9780231134095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
