Irregular Connections traces the anthropological study of sex from the eighteenth century to the present, focusing primarily on social and cultural anthropology and the work done by researchers in North America and Great Britain.

(P/B) JOURNALISM LITERATURE AND MODERNITY
Journalism has often been disregarded or represented as 'other' by literary critics and authors. The sense of its difference from literature has been heightened by its identification with daily newspaper journalism and reporting. Yet 'journalism' in its broadest sense refers to all writing in public journals, spanning both high and popular culture. It has been central to experiences of modernity, making its dismissal problematic. This book considers journalism in all its diversity, examining writing in journals across the cultural spectrum...

(H/B) HABERMAS AND CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY
Over the last four decades Jurgen Habermas has forged an innovative and much-discussed theory of contemporary capitalist society. Building on Max Weber's thesis that the dynamic of capitalism actually erodes individual freedom and the meaningfulness of social life - famously resulting in a culture of 'specialists without spirit, sensualists without heart' - Habermas traces contemporary social conflict to resistance to this dynamic by a variety of social groups. His theory of 'communicative action' attempts to show the possibilities in cont...
