Growing Up Sexually(Bibliographies)

 

22/Risks, Dangers, Panics

 

Main Index®Index Volume 3 ® Bibliography 22

 

Compiler’s Notes:

 

During the 1990s a dialectic between ‘backlashers’ and ‘counter-backlashers’ over sexual abuse politics teased out a stream of critical reflections on “risk societies”, “cultural panics”, and “public hysterias”. With very few exceptions, these papers deal with late 20th century Occidental frustrations, if anything providing a case study in the anthropology of emotions, shared emotional curriculum, and ethnopolitics of emotionality. Related are bibliographies 14 (Bodies, Touch, Surveillance, Anxieties) and 16 (Childhood Sexual Abuse and Social Constructionism). Please note that a lot more references could have been included. One might like to check the contents of e-journal Issues in Child Abuse Accusations. A June 2005 Conference has many entries.

 

Note: this bibliography may be updated monthly.
