Pleasure Principles: Politics, Sexuality and Ethics

Victoria Harwood, David Oswell, Kay Parkinson and Anna Ward (eds)

Pleasure Principles: Politics, Sexuality and EthicsPleasure Principles uncovers a diversity of sexual pleasures and practices - gay and straight voyeurs, men looking at women, women looking at men and women looking at women - in a fresh analysis of how we think of ourselves as sexual beings.

The contributors take as their theme sexuality and the future of sexual politics for the 1990s. In the wake of the moralistic sexual and gender politics of the previous two decades, they open up a new debate around the politics of sex and sexuality, including: looking, reading, dancing, watching films and pure pleasure itself.

'...a lucidity many queer studies writers would do well to emulate' Paul Burston, Time Out

Contributors: Avedon Carol, Sue Golding, Della Grace, Isaac Julien, Jackie Kay, Ken Mackinnon, Roberta McGrath, Sean Nixon, Naomi Salaman, Anna Marie Smith, Jeffrey Weeks, Geoffrey Wood.
