The Fear of Child Sexuality: Young People, Sex, and Agency
Autor Steven Angelidesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 sep 2019
Continued public outcries over such issues as young models in sexually suggestive ads and intimate relationships between teachers and students speak to one of the most controversial fears of our time: the entanglement of children and sexuality. In this book, Steven Angelides confronts that fear, exploring how emotional vocabularies of anxiety, shame, and even contempt not only dominate discussions of youth sexuality but also allow adults to avoid acknowledging the sexual agency of young people. Introducing case studies and trends from Australia, the United Kingdom, and North America, he challenges assumptions on a variety of topics, including sex education, age-of-consent laws, and sexting. Angelides contends that an unwillingness to recognize children’s sexual agency results not in the protection of young people but in their marginalization.

Recenzii
"[The Fear of Child Sexuality] serves as a courageous and powerful effort at forging a more ethical and equitable administration of sexuality against the manufactured silence that insulates current norms."
“An amazing, provocative, and eloquent book. No one interested in the historical shape and affective force of sex panics can ignore The Fear of Child Sexuality. With critical rigor and political nuance, Angelides eschews the morality tales offered about child sexuality to detail instead the way cultural discourses on the right and the left work against both the sexual rights and sexual agencies of children.”
“An impressive, fearless account of how, in states of panic, we take sexual agency from adolescents. The Fear of Child Sexuality pushes feminist theories of power and consent out of their comfort zones, arguing that our attempts to protect have also been sources of harm. This is transformational scholarship on the pleasures and dangers of teenage desire.”
“With forensic generosity and customary brilliance, Angelides performs a remarkable feat. The diversity of children’s sexual agency flowers in this book—strangely under the force of fear. Impeccably researched, evincing insight at every turn, The Fear of Child Sexuality is a wild and stunning ride.”
"The Fear of Child Sexuality, by Steven Angelides, demonstrates that children are sexual beings and writes about an environment where children should be protected but also allowed to express their sexuality."
"Provides a unifying framework to help the reader better understand how child sex panics often are used as a strategy to avoid and displace the idea of child sexuality... This book overall makes strong arguments buttressed by diverse support and evidence. The chapters are well balanced between historical analysis and presentations of new arguments to support the claim of child sexuality being under erasure."
