Heterosexuality in Theory and Practice (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book improves the context of critical inquiry into human sexualities and social change. Contributing to broader debates about sexualities, and to knowledge concerning the nature and experience of heterosexualities, it envisages possibilities for theorizing and practicing heterosexuality in more liberatory ways, and relates this analysis to significant debates in gender/sexuality studies and associated policy positions concerning domination-equality, conformity-diversity and normativity-subversion.
