Opis

In this collection of essays, derived from ten year's work on the subject of sexuality and its meanings, William Simon argues that we can only make sense of our sexuality within the larger project of making sense of our humanity. The essays range widely, from changes in the social construction of deviance and perversion to the experience of adolescence and the myth of the Wild West. Through them all, the author shows how sexuality has become for us the ultimate postmodern discourse.
