Acerca do livro

"In 12 exciting and confident interdisciplinary essays, a lively new generation of scholars demonstrate how gender and sexual borders are being pushed, pulled, stretched, embraced and transformed. Carefully organised to raise challenging topics - from 'The Third Sex' to 'Holocaust Memorials'- this is a timely book lush with possibilities. It is a must collection for all students of gender and sexualities."  -- Prof. Ken Plummer, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Essex; and author of Intimate Citizenship.

"The relationship between gender and sexuality has been much contested in the humanities and social sciences. This multidisciplinary collection showcases work from a new generation of scholars bringing fresh perspectives to bear on these debates. It is a collection that challenges boundaries – of gender and sexual categories and of existing academic knowledge – in which the authors seek ways of re-imagining the seeing and doing of gender."  -- Prof. Stevi Jackson, Director of Centre for Women's Studies, University of York, author of Heterosexuality in Question.
