Opis

Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance examines the social phenomenon of exotic dancing. Presenting a compelling multi-level analysis of dancer interactions, organizational practices, and institutional forces, this book challenges our understanding of sexuality and power.

Recenzje

Deshotels and Forsyth add to and deepen a host of scholarship showing how power changes based on context, while generously engaging with the literature on exotic dance throughout the book. [...] Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance adds to and synthesizes much of the literature on exotic dance to advance a multi-level theory of power that helps researchers and students better understand conflicting arguments about power and sex work. I recommend Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance to scholars of the sex industry and instructors teaching courses in women, gender, and sexuality studies, especially feminist theory.
