Revisions: Gender and Sexuality in Late Modernity

This concise text applies sociological research to considerations of identity, especially transformations of gender and sexual identity. Sociological examinations of reflexivity, aesthetics, and detraditionalization are related to questions of cultural economy, "place," commodification, and risk. In this framework, Adkins (sociology, University of Manchester) argues that gender and sexuality are being reworked it terms of mobility and identity. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c.
