Sex in the archives

Writing American sexual histories

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is an experiment in writing an American sexual history, spanning the spectrum of queer, trans, and the allegedly 'normal'. The sexual histories in this book are those where pornography and sexual research are indistinguishable; where personal obsession becomes tomorrow's archive.
