Summary:
"A searing indictment of modern sexual politics.
What
if
we
took
sex
out of the box marked "special," either the worst or best thing that a human person can experience, and considered it within the complexity of reality? In this extraordinary book, despite longstanding tabloid-style sexual preoccupations with villains and victims, shame and virtue, JoAnn Wypijewski does exactly that. From the HIV crisis to the paedophile priest panic, Woody Allen to Brett Kavanaugh, child pornography to Abu Ghraib, Wypijewski takes the most famous
sex
panics of the last decades and turns them inside out, weaving
what
together becomes a searing indictment of modern sexual politics, exposing the myriad ways
sex
panics and the expansion of the punitive state are intertwined.
What
emerges is an examination of the multiple ways in which the ever-expanding default language of monsters and victims has contributed to the repressive power of the state. Politics exists in the
mess
of
life
.
Sex
does too, Wypijewski insists and so must sexual politics, to make any sense at all."--From publisher.
