Consent

Author: Laurie James-Hawkins
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003805108
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297

Book Description
This book considers the concept of consent in different contexts with the aim of exploring the nuances of what consent means to different people and in different situations. While it is generally agreed that consent is a fluid concept, legal and social attempts to explain its meaning often centre on overly simplistic, narrow and binary definitions, viewing consent as something that occurs at a specific point in time. This book examines the nuances of consent and how it is enacted and re-enacted in different settings (including online spaces) and across time. Consent is most often connected to the idea of sexual assault and is often viewed as a straight-forward concept and one that can be easily explained. Yet there is confusion among the public, as well as among academics and professionals as to what consent truly is and even the degree to which individuals conceptualise and act on their own ideas about consent within their own lives. Topics covered include: consent in digital and online interactions, consent in education, consent in legal settings and the legal boundaries of consent, and consent in sexual situations including sex under the influence of substances, BDSM, and kinky sex. This book will appeal to students and scholars interested in issues of consent from the social sciences, gender theory, feminist studies, law, psychology, public health, and sexuality studies.

Book Description
All’s fair in love and movies… Laura Baker has returned from Byron Bay ready to declare her feelings for Lucas. But, slight problem; he’s back together with his ex-girlfriend, and so clearly not in love with her. But it’s fine. Laura knows she can just be friends with him. It can’t be that hard to fall out of love with someone, can it? Luckily, she has a new career to distract herself, working on the feature film Trigger. But Laura’s high expectations of working on a glamorous movie set are quickly shattered by the realities of her new job; not only is she promoted to Locations Manager on her first day (with no training), she quickly realises that this project is far lower-budget than she thought. Between out-running park rangers and dealing with Shouty Sex Man from over the fence, Laura’s in for one hell of a time. But working on the set of Trigger introduces Laura to more new ideas than film terminology, and Laura begins to wonder why she’s always felt heterosexual. Could the secret to getting over Lucas be found amongst the pansexual crew members and their intriguing philosophies? With time running out to resolve her feelings for Lucas and a possible new job luring her away, Laura has some tough decisions to make. Can she gain what she needs to be happy and forge a new career at the same time? From the sexy cameramen and vibrant director to an old flame that won't stop burning, get ready for the third instalment of the Laura the Explorer series.

Blind to Sameness

Author: Asia Friedman
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022602377X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 221

Book Description
What is the role of the senses in how we understand the world? Cognitive sociology has long addressed the way we perceive or imagine boundaries in our ordinary lives, but Asia Friedman pushes this question further still. How, she asks, did we come to blind ourselves to sex sameness? Drawing on more than sixty interviews with two decidedly different populations—the blind and the transgendered—Blind to Sameness answers provocative questions about the relationships between sex differences, biology, and visual perception. Both groups speak from unique perspectives that magnify the social construction of dominant visual conceptions of sex, allowing Friedman to examine the visual construction of the sexed body and highlighting the processes of social perception underlying our everyday experience of male and female bodies. The result is a notable contribution to the sociologies of gender, culture, and cognition that will revolutionize the way we think about sex.

ISBN: 1922586749
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 268

Book Description
Can we promise future generations a life free of sexual violence, in which their sexual wellbeing will be protected? Is this a promise we can keep? As a sexual offences prosecutor, Katrina Marson works for an institution that can only respond, one case at a time, to sexual violence once the damage is already done. During a decade of looking back, she kept returning to a single question: what could have been done to prevent this? In 2019 she stepped out of the justice system to travel abroad on a Churchill Fellowship, where she witnessed first-hand the power of comprehensive relationships and sexuality education to safeguard sexual wellbeing and act as a protective factor against sexual violence. Combining her coalface experience in the criminal law with her international research on sex education, Marson’s perspective is unique, looking in two directions at once. Legitimate Sexpectation exposes the limits of the criminal justice system and the fault lines in our society when it comes to sex, sexuality, and relationships. Through storytelling that moves between heartbreak and hope, Marson makes the case for a cultural shift towards valuing sexual wellbeing and preventing sexual violence in the first place. In doing so, she calls on us all to play our part to ensure that people can expect sexual experiences that are not just free from violence, but far from violent.
