Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2331 This course explores the ways sex and labor construct social spaces and unravel its connections to capital and political economy. Sex work, the commodification of desire and bodies can produce inevitable zones of conflict due to differing cultural understandings of sexuality, gender, ethnicity, power, and citizenship. Focusing on experiences of women we will probe these intersecting discourses by reviewing a wide range of texts that ethnographically detail dimensions of sex work. How does the study of sex work situated within specific social and political contexts, perhaps surprisingly, reveal important dimensions of gender, mobility, community, and globalization today?; Prerequisite(s): 100 level course in anthropology or Gender and Sexuality Studies, or instructor consent Social Science (SO) |
