"In 1978 Louise Armstrong started it all by writing Kiss Daddy Goodnight, the bestselling book that spoke the terrible truth about incest. Now, more than fifteen years later, she stops to ask the questions: How did we get here? How did we get from "dread taboo" to the point where talk of incest is routine and banal, a pet of the talk shows? How did we get from serious inquiry into what causes incest - to exclusive focus on what incest causes? How did we get from total disbelief, to a brief moment of belief in the testimony of women and children - to the point where, once again, women's and children's credibility is under attack? To False Memory Syndrome and adult survivors undergoing exorcism - into a glare and cacophony such that the best interests of our children are still being forsaken and self-described healers and empowerers are getting rich." "Rocking the Cradle of Sexual Politics is the story of skillfully mounted backlash. But it is also the story of how it is now possible for the powers-that-be to use noise to achieve the end that was once served by repression and enforced silence - and how they defuse the political, the potentially politically explosive, by turning it into the personal. It is, alas, also the story of the power of the promise of "help" and the language of "treatment" to infantilize massive numbers of women, and to lead us away from any serious action for change."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download Sexual Politics and Popular Culture Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Almost wherever we look, depictions of sexuality, both subtle and not-so-subtle, are omnipresent. Whatever the medium, popular culture representations tell us something about ourselves and about the ideologies of which they are symptomatic. These essays examine the strategies of power implicit in popular representations of sexuality. The authors--scholars in fields such as sociology, philosophy, biology, political science, history, and English literature-- eschew rigid disciplinary boundaries.

This book traces the quest for contraception in New Zealand and explores the connected realms of sex and politics. By 1900 many couples had chosen to have fewer children - but contraceptive methods were limited and often desperate. In the 1930s a radical group of women set out to help people access sex information and contraception. They became the Family Planning Association, and encountered head-on entrenched moral viewpoints and fears about declining population. Often funny, sometimes tragic or bizarre, always controversial, this book investigates a relatively unexplored aspect of our lives. It offers insight into sexual attitudes, gives a timely warning against repeating past mistakes, and provides a context for future decisions on sexual and reproductive health issues.

Download The Politics of Survivorship Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The topic of incest began to emerge in the early 1990s, producing a spate of television specials and providing the material for a surging industry of talk shows as well as an anti-feminist campaign against incest survivors and their therapists. The validity, reality, and readability of recovered memories of incest has become a highly contested and difficult subject. This heightened interest has benefited incest survivors, according to Rosaria Champagne, by allowing them to speak up and make political their experiences. Victims, formerly entwined in their own abuse by remaining silent, have learned to voice their protest and to challenge the societal order that allows incest to occur. In The Politics of Survivorship Champagne explores a range of cultural representations of incest, from the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley to mother-daughter incest in contemporary true crime novels, to Oprah Winfrey's television special Scared Silent, in order to examine expressions of survivorship. In the process, Champagne attempts to level the disparity and the hierarchy of value among theory, literature, popular culture and social movements. Champagne makes a powerful argument that community and academic feminists should embrace survivorship as a potential site of feminist political intervention into patriarchy and heterosexism. She concludes with a critical look at the way in which the False Memory Syndrome Foundation has conducted an anti-feminist campaign against incest survivors and their therapists.

The oppressive and the empowering dimensions of maternity, as well as the complex relationship between the two, first identified by Adrienne Rich in Of Woman Born, has been the focus of feminist scholarship on motherhood over the last three decades. While feminist research on motherhood has focused on many topics, these studies have been informed and shaped by larger inquiries: namely, how do we challenge patriarchal motherhood? How do we create feminist mothering? And finally, how are the two aims interconnected? Rocking the Cradle, composed of twelve essays, will explore these questions.

Download Sexualizing the Social Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Sociologists are increasingly aware that analyses of social life must include a consideration of how the social may be structured by the sexual. In turn, this insight is contributing to a shift in understandings of sociology. This volume - drawn from papers from the 1994 British Sociological Association Annual Conference on 'Sexualities in Social Context' - brings together a range of writers who are contributing to this exciting new agenda. Various aspects of social life - including employment, family life, representations, politics, identities and the workings of the law - are considered, in terms of how sexuality shapes their organization and they shape sexuality. In so doing a series of ongoing and new controversies and debates are confronted, from the relationship of feminism to prostitution to the constitution of the self in late modernity.
