| adam_text | Sexed
Texts explores the complex role that language plays in the construction of
sexuality and gender, two concepts that are often discussed separately, although
in practice are closely intertwined. The book draws on a range of theoretical
perspectives and published research including performativity theory, feminism,
queer studies, psychoanalytical theory, Marxism, social constructionism and
essentialism. Illustrative examples are taken from written, spoken, internet, non¬
verbal, visual, media-scripted and naturally occurring texts.
Some of the questions addressed in the book include: how do people construct
their own and others gendered or sexual identities through the use of language?
What is the relationship between language and desire? In what ways do language
practices help to reflect and shape different gendered/sexed discourses as
normal , problematic or contested? Taking a broadly deconstructionist perspective,
the book progresses from examining what are seen as preferable or acceptable
ways to express gender and sexuality, moving towards more tolerated identities,
practices and desires, and finally arriving at marginalised and tabooed forms.
The book locates sexuality and gender as socially constructed, and therefore
examines language use in terms of socio-historical factors, linking changing
conceptualisations of identity, discourse and desire to theories surrounding
regulation, globalisation, new technologies, marketisation and consumerism.

their own and others' gendered or sexual identities through the use of language?
What is the relationship between language and desire? In what ways do language
practices help to reflect and shape different gendered/sexed discourses as
'normal', problematic or contested? Taking a broadly deconstructionist perspective,
the book progresses from examining what are seen as preferable or acceptable
ways to express gender and sexuality, moving towards more 'tolerated' identities,
practices and desires, and finally arriving at marginalised and tabooed forms.
The book locates sexuality and gender as socially constructed, and therefore
examines language use in terms of socio-historical factors, linking changing
