Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The last twenty years have seen a steady growth in multi-disciplinary work in the fields of sexuality, culture and health. What was once a set of relatively esoteric concerns has been steadily mainstreamed and a broader interest has developed in the 'social' and the 'cultural' relating to specific sexuality and sexual health concerns, from family planning and STI management to issues around gender and intimate partner violence and the technologisation of sex. This book offers a global, research-based overview of key topics relevant to social and cultural perspectives on sexuality and sexual health. Beginning with an extended introduction and divided into six sections, it looks at culture, sex and gender, sexual diversity, sex work, migration and sexual violence. Each section begins with an editorial discussion which places the theme, and the chapters that follow, in a clear and contemporary context. Including cutting-edge conceptual and empirical material from around the world, this is a key resource for students in, and across, a variety of academic disciplines in the social and health sciences.It is especially suitable for readers from sexuality studies, gender studies, development studies, anthropology and sociology as well as those with nursing, midwifery and social work backgrounds.
