'Frida Beckman has written an undoubtedly provocative account of the uneasy relations, even points of tension and contradiction, between feminist and queer conceptions of sexual pleasure and the deterritorializing philosophies of Deleuze and Guattari. This book successfully opens sexuality out to new conceptions and new forces that link it directly to the most pressing political questions of today.' Elizabeth Grosz, Duke University Explores the political, cultural and conceptual significance of sexual pleasure How is sexual pleasure inscribed into conceptions of the body, gender, health and of the human? Conversely, what constitutes its role in the construction of such notions? And, most importantly, how can it contribute to an expansion of what they mean? Mapping both historical and contemporary configurations of the sexual body along with its functions and sensations, Frida Beckman identifies disabling conceptions and constructions of pleasure while also searching for the possibility of claiming sexual pleasure as a constructive and politically enabling notion today. In the face of the way in which Deleuze's theory of desire builds on a rejection of the usefulness of pleasure, this book works to construct a Deleuzian theory of sexuality that is inclusive of pleasure. Frida Beckman is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Thematic Studies at Linköping University, Sweden. She is the editor of Deleuze and Sex (2011). Cover image: The Internal Clitoris.
