Since the 1960s, William Simon has written a number of increasingly influential articles on sexuality and its meanings. His work has widely influenced the development of the sociology of sexuality and gender studies. "Postmodern Sexualities" contains Simon's key essays since the 1970s, pulled together for the first time by an original introduction.
Simon's essays range widely, from changes in the social construction of deviance and perversion to the experience of adolescence and the myth of the Wild West. He rethinks the Freudian model, showing how sexuality has become for us not, as we might once have thought, a unifying thread in our experience, but rather the ultimate postmodern discourse. He also argues that our explorations of sexuality should be part of the larger project of making sense of our humanity. "Postmodern Sexualities" is essential reading for all those interested in the rapidly changing landscape of sex and gender studies.
