Zusammenfassung: | Offers a way to undo the inextricable American knot of sex, politics, religion, and powerAmerican politics are obsessed with sex. Before the first televised presidential debate, John F. Kennedy trailed Richard Nixon in the polls. As Americans tuned in, however, they found Kennedy a younger, more vivacious, and more attractive choice than Nixon. Sexier. The political significance of Kennedy's telegenic sex appeal is now widely accepted - but taking sexual politics seriously is not. Janet R. Jakobsen examines how, for the last several decades, gender and sexuality have reappeared time and again at the center of political life, marked by a series of widely recognized issues and movements - women's liberation and gay liberation in the 1960s and '70s, the AIDS crisis and ACT UP in the '80s and '90s, welfare and immigration "reform" in the '90s, wars claiming to "save women" in the 2000s, and battles over health care in the 2010s, to recent demands for reproductive justice, trans liberation, and the explosive exposures of #MeToo.Religion has been wound up in these political struggles, and blamed for not a little of the resistance to meaningful change in America political life. Jakobsen acknowledges that religion is a force to be reckoned with, but decisively breaks with the common sense that religion and sex are the fixed binary of American political life. She instead follows the kaleidoscopic ways in which sexual politics are embedded in social relations of all kinds - not only the intimate relations of love and family with which gender and sex are routinely associated, but also secularism, freedom, race, disability, capitalism, nation and state, housing and the environment.In the midst of these obsessions, Jakobsen's promiscuous ethical imagination guides us forward. Drawing on examples from collaborative projects among activists, academics and artists, Jakobsen shows that sexual politics can contribute to building justice from the ground up. Gender and sexual relations are practices through which values emerge and communities are made. Sex and desire, gender and embodiment emerge as bases of ethical possibility, breaking political stalemate and opening new possibility |

Jakobsen New York New York University Press [2020] © 2020 1 Online-Ressource (287 Seiten) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Sexual cultures Offers a way to undo the inextricable American knot of sex, politics, religion, and powerAmerican politics are obsessed with sex. Before the first televised presidential debate, John F. Kennedy trailed Richard Nixon in the polls. As Americans tuned in, however, they found Kennedy a younger, more vivacious, and more attractive choice than Nixon. Sexier. The political significance of Kennedy's telegenic sex appeal is now widely accepted - but taking sexual politics seriously is not. Janet R. Jakobsen examines how, for the last several decades, gender and sexuality have reappeared time and again at the center of political life, marked by a series of widely recognized issues and movements - women's liberation and gay liberation in the 1960s and '70s, the AIDS crisis and ACT UP in the '80s and '90s, welfare and immigration "reform" in the '90s, wars claiming to "save women" in the 2000s, and battles over health care in the 2010s, to recent demands for reproductive justice, trans liberation, and the explosive exposures of #MeToo.Religion has been wound up in these political struggles, and blamed for not a little of the resistance to meaningful change in America political life. Jakobsen acknowledges that religion is a force to be reckoned with, but decisively breaks with the common sense that religion and sex are the fixed binary of American political life. She instead follows the kaleidoscopic ways in which sexual politics are embedded in social relations of all kinds - not only the intimate relations of love and family with which gender and sex are routinely associated, but also secularism, freedom, race, disability, capitalism, nation and state, housing and the environment.In the midst of these obsessions, Jakobsen's promiscuous ethical imagination guides us forward. Drawing on examples from collaborative projects among activists, academics and artists, Jakobsen shows that sexual politics can contribute to building justice from the ground up. Gender and sexual relations are practices through which values emerge and communities are made. Sex and desire, gender and embodiment emerge as bases of ethical possibility, breaking political stalemate and opening new possibility Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Activism;Affirmative Action;AIDS Activism;Anti-Poverty Policy;Criminal Justice;Culture Wars;Disability Justice;Domestic Work;Economic Justice;Economic Value;Ethics;Feminist;Gay Marriage;Gender;Immigration Mass Incarceration Material Interests Moral Values Political Economy Politics Public Policy Queer Politics Queer Race Racism Religion Religious Freedom Reproductive Justice Restorative Justice Secularism Sex Sexual Politics Sexuality Social Justice Transformative Justice Transnational U.S. Supreme Court Universal Access Universal Design Utopia Violence Voting Rights Welfare Reform Xenophobia SOCIAL SCIENCE / Gender Studies bisacsh Gay rights United States Homosexuality Government policy United States Homosexuality Religious aspects Christianity Sex role United States Women's rights Political aspects United States Women's rights United States Political aspects Sexualpolitik (DE-588)4277411-1 gnd rswk-swf Politiker (DE-588)4046517-2 gnd rswk-swf Politische Kultur (DE-588)4046540-8 gnd rswk-swf Religion (DE-588)4049396-9 gnd rswk-swf Sexuelle Attraktion (DE-588)4126858-1 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Politiker (DE-588)4046517-2 s Sexuelle Attraktion (DE-588)4126858-1 s Geschichte z DE-604 Politische Kultur (DE-588)4046540-8 s Religion (DE-588)4049396-9 s Sexualpolitik (DE-588)4277411-1 s Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-4798-4608-5 https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781479839421 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
