(P/B) DOMINATRIX
GENDER, EROTICISM, AND CONTROL IN THE DUNGEON
Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0991-0518
Our lives are full of small tensions, our closest relationships full of struggle: between woman and man, artist and customer, purist and commercialist, professional and client - and between the dominant and the submissive. In Dominatrix, Danielle Lindemann draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with professional dominatrices in New York City and San Francisco to offer a sophisticated portrait of these unusual professionals, their work, and their clients. Prior research on sex work has focused primarily on prostitutes and most studies... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) WHORES AND OTHER FEMINISTS
Εκδότης: ROUTLEDGE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3707-1475
Whores and Other Feminists fleshes out feminist politics from the perspective of sex workers - strippers, prostitutes, porn writers, producers and performers, dominatrices - and their allies. Comprising a range of voices from both within and outside the academy, this collection draws from traditional feminisms, postmodern feminism, queer theory, and sex radicalism. It stretches the boundaries of contemporary feminism, holding accountable both traditional feminism for stigmatizing sex workers, and also the sex industry for its sexist practi...

(P/B) GENDER AND EVERYDAY LIFE
Εκδότης: ROUTLEDGE Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3707-1758
Why are we so insistent that women and men are different? This introduction to gender provides a fascinating, readable exploration of how society divides people into feminine women and masculine men. Gender and Everyday Life explores gender as a way of seeing women and men as not just biological organisms, but as people shaped by their everyday social world. Examining how gender has been understood and lived in the past; and how it is understood and done differently by different cultures and groups within cultures; Mary Holmes considers th...

(P/B) PORNLAND
HOW PORN HAS HIJACKED OUR SEXUALITY
Εκδότης: BEACON PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0664-0008 An unflinching and intimate look at porn--its hard-core and racist content, its unchecked profits, and how it distorts our identities. Astonishingly, the average age of first viewing porn is now 11.5 years for boys, and with the advent of the Internet, it's no surprise that young people are consuming more porn than ever. And, as Gail Dines shows, today's porn is strikingly different from yesterday's Playboy. As porn culture has become absorbed into pop culture, a new wave of entrepreneurs are creating porn that is even more hard-core, viol... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) TEMPORARILY YOURS
INTIMACY, AUTHENTICITY, AND THE COMMERCE OF SEX
Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0991-0515
Generations of social thinkers have assumed that access to legitimate paid employment and a decline in the 'double standard' would eliminate the reasons behind women's participation in prostitution. Yet in both the developing world and in postindustrial cities of the West, sexual commerce has continued to flourish, diversifying along technological, spatial, and social lines. In this deeply engaging and theoretically provocative study, Elizabeth Bernstein examines the social features that undergird the expansion and diversification of comme... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(H/B) FAERIES, BEARS AND LEATHERMEN
MEN IN COMMUNITY QUEERING THE MASCULINE
Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0991-0517
Over time, male homosexuality and effeminacy have become indelibly associated, sometimes even synonymous. In Faeries, Bears, and Leathermen, Peter Hennen contends that this stigma of effeminacy exerts a powerful influence on gay subcultures. Through a comparative ethnographic analysis of three communities, Hennen explores the surprising ways that conventional masculinity is being collectively challenged, subverted, or perpetuated in contemporary gay male culture. Hennen's colorful study focuses on a trio of groups: the Radical Faeries, who... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) MIGRATIONS AND MOBILITIES
CITIZENSHIP, BORDERS AND GENDER
Εκδότης: NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3002-0024
In an increasingly globalized world, the movement of peoples across national borders is posing unprecedented challenges, for the people involved as well as for the places to which they travel and their countries of origin. Citizenship is now a topic in focus around the world but much of that discussion takes place without sufficient attention to the women, men, and children, in and out of families, whose statuses and treatments depend upon how countries view their arrival. As essays in this volume detail, both the practices and theories of... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) GENDER AND DISORDER IN EARLY MODERN SEVILLE
Εκδότης: PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3244-0554
In this exploration of crisis in Counter-Reformation Spain, Mary Elizabeth Perry reveals the significance of gender for social order by portraying the lives of women who lived on the margins of respectability--prostitutes, healers, visionaries, and other deviants who provoked the concern of a growing central government linked closely to the church. Focusing on Seville, the commercial capital of Habsburg Spain, Perry uses rich archival sources to document the economic and spiritual activity of women, and efforts made by civil and church aut...

ΦΥΛΟ ΚΑΙ ΑΠΑΣΧΟΛΗΣΗ
Εκδότης: ΑΤΡΑΠΟΣ Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0591-0268 Βασικό χαρακτηριστικό του 20ού αιώνα αποτελεί η αθρόα ένταξη των γυναικών στην αγορά εργασίας και ειδικότερα στην αμειβόμενη απασχόληση. Πρόκειται ασφαλώς για έναν αιώνα κατά τον οποίο, παράλληλα, πολλές οικονομίες μετέβησαν από τη γεωργία στη βιομηχανία και έπειτα σε μια υπεροχή των υπηρεσιών, αλλά ως το σημαντικότερο γεγονός στη διάρκειά του εκτιμάται η εντυπωσιακή αλλαγή που υπήρξε στην κοινωνική / οικονομική θέση των γυναικών, παρά τις έντονες ανισότητες που εξακολουθούν να υφίστανται. Οι εξελίξεις στην επιστήμη, την τεχνολογία, τη γνώ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

THE RESURGENCE OF ANTI-PORN FEMINISM
Εκδότης: ZED BOOKS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1781-0079
Anti-porn feminism is back. Countering the ongoing "pornification" of Western culture and society, with lads' mags on the middle shelf and lap-dancing clubs in residential areas, anti-porn movements are re-emerging among a new generation of feminist activists worldwide. This essential new guide to the problems with porn starts with a history of modern pro and anti political stances before examining the ways in which the new arguments and campaigns around pornography are articulated, deployed and received. Drawing on original ethnographic r... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) BODY DRIFT
BUTLER, HAYLES, HARAWAY
Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0046
Brings three major feminist theorists into critical dialogue for the first time. According to Arthur Kroker, Judith Butler's postmodernism, Katherine Hayles's posthumanism, and Donna Haraway's companionism are possible pathways to the posthuman future that is captured by the specter of body drift. The writings of these key feminist thinkers, Kroker reveals, provide the vocabulary and political context for understanding the complexities of body drift and challenging the current emphasis on the material body.

FEMINIST RECONSTRUCTIONS OF BEING AND KNOWING
Εκδότης: RUTGERS UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3658-0016 The essays in this interdisciplinary collection share the conviction that modern western paradigms of knowledge and reality are gender-biased.

CLASS, GENDER, AND THE SATELITE FACTORY SYSTEM IN TAIWAN
Εκδότης: TEMPLE UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4157-0013
In Taiwan, small-scale subcontracting factories of thirty employees or less make items for export, like the wooden jewelry boxes that Ping-Chun Hsiung made when she worked in six such factories. These factories are found in rice fields and urban areas, front yards and living rooms, mostly employing married women in line with the government slogan that promotes work in the home-"Living Rooms as Factories." Hsiung studies the experiences of the married women who work in this satellite system of factories, and how their work and family lives ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |
