Desired States

Sex, Gender, and Political Culture in Chile

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Situates the state, using Chile as a case study, in a rich and changing context of transnational and localized movements, imperialist interests, geo-political conflicts, and market forces to explore the broader struggles of desiring subjects, especially in those dimensions of life that are explicitly sexual and amorous: free love movements, marriage, the sixties’ sexual revolution in Cold War contexts, prostitution policies, ideas about men’s gratification, leaders’ charisma, and sexual/domestic violence.
