Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance: A Multilevel Analysis: Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale

Autor Tina Deshotels, Craig Forsyth
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2021
Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance examines the social phenomenon of exotic dancing. Presenting a compelling multilevel analysis of dancer interactions, organizational practices, and institutional forces, this book challenges our understanding of sexuality and power. Centering the voices and experiences of exotic dancers, this book explores the relationship between exotic dancing and power at the micro-interactional, meso-organizational, and macro-institutional levels, informing a feminist theory of power that seeks out systems of domination in order to challenge and change them. Through direct interviews and observations collected between 1993 and 2021 from 40 different clubs in the United States, Deshotels and Forsyth demystify the seemingly contrary findings about exotic dancing and power. They show how and why individual dancers can be simultaneously empowered and exploited beyond individual traits, interactions, or settings in the nexus of gender and power in exotic dancing.
The book will be useful for scholarly readers in the subject areas of sociology, cultural studies, gender/sexualities studies, sex work, and organizations theory. Written in a clear, accessible manner, this book will also appeal to a general audience interested in understanding the complex interactions of gender, power, feminism, and exotic dance.

Recenzii

Deshotels and Forsyth add to and deepen a host of scholarship showing how power changes based on context, while generously engaging with the literature on exotic dance throughout the book. [...] Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance adds to and synthesizes much of the literature on exotic dance to advance a multi-level theory of power that helps researchers and students better understand conflicting arguments about power and sex work. I recommend Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance to scholars of the sex industry and instructors teaching courses in women, gender, and sexuality studies, especially feminist theory.
