"This new edition of Profit and Pleasure offers a poignant reminder that left critical thought does not need to choose between the so-called old and new materialisms. Using Marxist feminism as 'living' theory, Rosemary Hennessy tracks the intersections of structure and affect, identity and consumption, and nation and globe to reveal the ongoing intimacies between capitalism and sex." Robyn Wiegman, Professor of Literature and Women's Studies, Duke University, USA
"We might finally be catching up with this book. Impatience with maps of the present that fail to articulate sexuality and capital has become increasingly widespread, and the political costs of such failure harder to miss. Nearly twenty years after Profit and Pleasure first appeared, it is clear that this book was ahead of its time - and that its time is now." Kevin Floyd, author of The Reification of Desire and Associate Professor of English at Kent State University, USA
"One of less than a handful of extended critical examinations of the relationship between sexuality and capitalism, Profit and Pleasure is a prescient engagement with the nexus of desire, affect, and neoliberal capitalism. Hennessy's valuable new introduction acknowledges and situates the book in relation to more recent scholarship as well as changes in the political-economic context. But the original work stands on its own." Miranda Joseph, Professor, Gender and Women's Studies, University of Arizona, USA
