According to Oliver Davis and Tim Dean, the hatred of sex arises from its paradoxical nature, as it is both desired and despised. This hatred stems from the sexual intensity that disrupts coherent selfhood and undermines identity, making us all somewhat deplorable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavis and Dean delve into the far-reaching consequences of this conflicted dynamic across various fields and institutions, including queer studies, attachment theory, the #MeToo movement, and \"traumatology.\" They demonstrate how hatred of sex has been optimized and exploited by neoliberalism, contributing to the erosion of democratic values and the marginalization of certain groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough their rigorous analysis, Davis and Dean make compelling arguments about sex, pleasure, power, intersectionality, therapy, and governance. They challenge prevailing notions and offer fresh perspectives on enduring questions of equality, particularly at a historical moment when democracy appears increasingly precarious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHatred of Sex is a thought-provoking and timely book that will engage scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the intricate connections between politics, sexuality, and social justice. It provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the future of democracy and the pursuit of sexual liberation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 238g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 127 x 202 x 18 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781496230591\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver Davis,Tim Dean","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095607111930,"sku":"9781496230591","price":18.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1653052934029_book.jpg?v=1653245996","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/hatred-of-sex-9781496230591","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
