The Subject of Prostitution (eBook, ePUB)

Sex Work, Law and Social Theory

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Subject of Prostitution offers a distinctive analysis of the links between prostitution and social theory in order to advance a critical analysis of the relationship of law to sex work. The book analyzes contemporary citizenship discourse and the law's ability to meet the competing demands of empowerment by sexworkers and protection by radical feminists who view prostitution as the epitome of patriarchal sexual and economic relations. Its central focus is the role of law in both structuring and responding to the 'problem of prostitution'.
