Download or read book Sexualities and Irish Society written by Máire Leane and published by Orpen Press. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ireland, recent social, cultural and political changes combined with globalisation, commercialisation and new technologies have re-shaped how we understand and think about sexuality. There is now a multiplicity of ways in which individuals can experience their sexuality, negotiate their sexual identities and advocate for sexual rights. Meanwhile, sexualities continue to be denied, problematised and subjected to regulation. The ongoing exchanges between real-life sexualities and the social contexts in which they are forged, provides the core focus of this book. Sexualities and Irish Society explores the construction and management of sexualities across a number of different sites, including the family, the legal and education systems, medical and therapeutic settings, and cultural and commercial arenas. Engaging with both theoretical and empirical material, the authors analyse the power relations within which sexualities are constructed, resisted and reconstructed. Written by academics, researchers, advocates and practitioners, this is the first comprehensive academic text on sexualities in Irish society. It showcases the best of recent scholarship from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Sexualities and Irish Society is a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in social policy, social care, social work, sociology, women's studies, cultural studies, history, politics and studies of the body. It should also appeal to activists, campaigners and professional practitioners.

Download or read book LGBTQ Visibility Media and Sexuality in Ireland written by Páraic Kerrigan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the turbulent history of queer visibility in the Irish media to explore the processes by which a regionally based media system shaped queer identities within a highly conservative and religious population. The book details the emergence of an LGBTQ rights movement in Ireland and charts how this burgeoning movement utilised the media for the liberatory potential of advancing LGBTQ rights. However, mainstream media institutions also exploited queer identities for economic purposes, which, coupled with the eruption of the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, disrupted the mainstreaming goals of queer visibility. Drawing on industrial, societal and production culture determinants, the author identifies the shifting contours of queer visibility in the Irish media, uncovering the longstanding relationship between LGBTQ organising and the Irish media. This book is suitable for students and scholars in gender studies, media studies, cultural studies and LGBTQ studies.
Download or read book Regulating sexuality written by Leanne McCormick and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a groundbreaking examination of the attempts to regulate female sexuality in twentieth-century Northern Ireland, which opens up new and exciting areas of a previously neglected history. A wide-ranging study, it explores the sexual experiences of women in the context of the distinctive religious, political and social circumstances of Northern Ireland during the twentieth century. The commonality of attitudes of the Catholic Churches toward the control of female sexuality is revealed, along with the similarity of views concerning female behaviour. While the ways in which various authorities tried to control female behaviour are explored, it is also argued that women were not simply victims, but employed a variety of survival strategies and active agency, no matter how difficult their circumstances were. This work will appeal not only to an academic audience but also to non-academic readers interested in a new and exciting view of Northern Ireland’s past.
Download or read book Bare written by Julianne Daly and published by Liberties Press. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asked what they fantasize about, more than one hundred women in Ireland were willing to share. The results are in this book. It seems that there is a real hunger to know what other women are thinking about sex - perhaps just out of curiosity, perhaps because we want to know whether what we are thinking is normal. (Don't worry, it is.) Well, Irish women are thinking about men and women and couples. They are thinking about their partners, their partners' best friends, their bosses, their neighbours and their priests. They are thinking about that gorgeous blue-eyed guy from the pub - and his brother too. They are thinking about dominating their lovers and being dominated by them. They are thinking about intimate moments with long-term partners and brief encounters with faceless strangers. They are thinking about airport car parks, hotels, libraries and swimming pools. Hopefully, bringing together the sexual fantasies of these women will start a conversation about sex, how women in this country think about it, and how they want it. Hopefully, reading this book will make your pulse race.

Download or read book Gender and Sexuality in Ireland written by John Gibney and published by Irish Perspectives. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of sexuality in Ireland remains relatively understudied when compared with the more well-worn paths of political and military history, but that is not to say that it has never been considered. Now, in the fourth instalment of the 'Irish perspectives' collaboration between Pen and Sword and History Ireland, a range of experts explore Irish history from the perspective of the broad concept of sexuality, in both theory and practice.From the legalities that defined gender roles in the middle ages and early modern periods, to women's role in political life and civil society, Gender and Sexuality in Ireland provides a comprehensive overview of the nation's understanding and relationship with sexuality and patriarchy. Population change, prostitution, incarceration, infanticide, abortion and homophobia are all considered alongside attempts to impose - and ignore - Catholic morality in independent Ireland.Struggles for women's rights and reproductive rights, the culture wars of the 1980s, and Irish people simply trying to have good sex lives, the essays gathered here cast light on aspects of Ireland's past that are often overlooked in more mainstream narratives of Irish history.
