In Diagnosing Desire: Biopolitics and Femininity into the Twenty-First Century, Alyson K. Spurgas examines the "new science of female sexuality" from a critical, sociological perspective, considering how today's feminist-identified sex researchers study and manage women with low desire. Diagnosing Desire investigates experimental sex research that measures the disconnect between subjective and genital female arousal, contemporary psychiatric diagnoses for low female desire, new models for understanding women's sexual response, and cutting-edge treatments for low desire in women--including from the realms of mindfulness and alternative healing.

Spurgas makes the case that, together, all of these technologies create a "feminized responsive desire framework" for understanding women's sexuality, and that this, in fact, produces women's sexuality as a complex problem to be solved. The biggest problem, Spurgas argues, is that gendered and sexualized trauma--including as it is produced within technoscientific medicine itself--is too often ignored in contemporary renderings. Through incisive textual analysis and in-depth qualitative research based on interviews with women with low desire, Spurgas argues for a more radical and communal form of care for feminized--and traumatized--populations, in opposition to biopolitical mandates to individualize and neoliberalize forms of self-care. Ultimately, this is a book not just about a specific diagnosis or dysfunction but about the material-discursive regimes that produce and regulate femininity.

Описание:

Phantom limb pain is one of the most intractable and merciless pains ever known—a pain that haunts appendages that do not physically exist, often persisting with uncanny realness long after fleshy limbs have been traumatically, surgically, or congenitally lost. The very existence and “naturalness” of this pain has been instrumental in modern science’s ability to create prosthetic technologies that many feel have transformative, self-actualizing, and even transcendent power. In Phantom Limb, Cassandra S. Crawford critically examines phantom limb pain and its relationship to prosthetic innovation, tracing the major shifts in knowledge of the causes and characteristics of the phenomenon.
Crawford exposes how the meanings of phantom limb pain have been influenced by developments in prosthetic science and ideas about the extraordinary power of these technologies to liberate and fundamentally alter the human body, mind, and spirit. Through intensive observation at a prosthetic clinic, interviews with key researchers and clinicians, and an analysis of historical and contemporary psychological and medical literature, she examines the modernization of amputation and exposes how medical understanding about phantom limbs has changed from the late-19th to the early-21st century. Crawford interrogates the impact of advances in technology, medicine, psychology and neuroscience, as well as changes in the meaning of limb loss, popular representations of amputees, and corporeal ideology. Phantom Limb questions our most deeply held ideas of what is normal, natural, and even moral about the physical human body.

Описание: Gender and Sexuality in Latin American Horror Cinema explores the different mechanisms and strategies through which horrorfilms attempt to reinforce or contest gender relations and issues of sexualidentity in the continent. The book explores issues of machismo, marianismo,homosociality, bromance, among others through the lens of horror narrativesand, especially, it offers an analysis of monstrosity and the figure of themonster as an outlet to play out socio-sexual anxieties in different societiesor gender groups. The author looks at a wide rage of films from countries suchas Cuba, Peru, Mexico and Argentina and draws points of commonality, as well ascomparing essential differences, between the way that horror fictions –considered by many as low-brow cinema - can be effective to delve into the waythat sexuality and gender operates and circulates in the popular imaginary inthese regions.
