Serena Petrella, Erotic Subjects and Outlaws: Sketching the Borders of Sexual Citizenship (Brill, 2019).
This book examines the intricacies of emergent sexual citizenship. Designed for academics and broader audiences alike, the collection covers the theorization of sexual citizenship, the exploration of case studies in law, the relationship between sexual citizenship and bio-politics, and finally the erotic dissidence of sexual outlaws. The borders of sexual citizenship are traced, as authors investigate what it means to be 'inside,' as erotic subjects, or outside, as 'sexual outlaws.' The issues of inclusion and exclusion are approached through diverse methodological and analytical lenses: some articles are theoretical and philosophical; others are empirically based, presenting the findings of sociological and ethnographic research projects and some are textual analyses of religious texts, film texts, and of legal discourse.
