{"product_id":"transgressive-sex-hastings-donnan-9781845455392","title":"Transgressive Sex: Subversion and Control in Erotic Encounters","description":"\u003cp\u003e Sex is often regarded as a dangerous business that must be rigorously controlled, regulated, and subjected to rules. Sexual acts that defy acceptable practices may be seen as variously defiling, immoral, and even unnatural. They may challenge and subvert both cultural preconceptions and the social order in a politics of sexual transgression that threatens to transform permissible boundaries and restructure bodily engagements. This collection of essays explores acts of sexual transgression that have the power to reconfigure perceptions of bodily intimacy and the social norms of interaction. Considering issues such as domestic violence, child prostitution, health and sex, teenage sex, and sex with animals across a range of settings from contemporary Oceania, the Pacific, South Africa, and southeast Asia to Euro-America, this book should interest all those who question the \"naturalness\" of sex, including public health workers, clinical practitioners and students of sex, sexuality, and gender in the humanities and social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hastings Donnan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845455398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845455392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 135","brand":"Hastings Donnan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125462233343,"sku":"9781845455392","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1eb8df9f-2b32-448e-97c7-d29fe07cf9ee.jpg?v=1687442764","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transgressive-sex-hastings-donnan-9781845455392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
