Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PROSE Awards Subject Category Finalist—Biological Anthropology, Ancient History, and Archaeology, 2021 Best Nineteenth-Century Book Award, Latin American Studies Association Nineteenth-Century Section, 2021​ Analyzing a wide variety of late-nineteenth-century sources, Sex, Skulls, and Citizens argues that Argentine scientific projects of the era were not just racial encounters, but were also conditioned by sexual relationships in all their messy, physical reality. The writers studied here (an eclectic group of scientists, anthropologists, and novelists, including Estanislao Zeballos, Lucio and Eduarda Mansilla, Ramón Lista, and Florence Dixie) reflect on Indigenous sexual practices, analyze the advisability and effects of interracial sex, and use the language of desire to narrate encounters with Indigenous peoples as they try to scientifically pinpoint Argentina's racial identity and future potential. Kerr's reach extends into history of science, literary studies, and history of anthropology, illuminating a scholarly time and place in which the lines betwixt were much blurrier, if they existed at all.

Download or read book A Body of One s Own written by Patricio Simonetto and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of Argentina that examines how trans bodies were understood, policed, and shaped in a country that banned medically assisted gender affirmation practices and punished trans lives. As a trans history of Argentina, a country that banned medically assisted gender affirmation practices and punished trans lives, A Body of One's Own places the histories of trans bodies at the core of modern Argentinian history. Patricio Simonetto documents the lives of people who crossed the boundaries of gender from the early twentieth century to the present. Based on extensive archival research in public and community-based archives, this book explores the mainstream medical and media portrayals of trans or travesti people, the state policing of gender embodiment, the experiences of those transgressing the boundaries of gender, and the development of homemade technologies from prosthetics to the self-injection of silicone. A Body of One's Own explores how trans activists' challenges to the exclusionary effects of Argentina's legal, cultural, social, and political cisgender order led to the passage of the Gender Identity Law in 2012. Analyzing the decisive yet overlooked impact of gender transformation in the formation of the nation-state, gender-belonging, and citizenship, this book ultimately shows that supposedly abstract struggles to define the shifting notions of "sex," citizenship, and nationhood are embodied material experiences.

Download or read book Exploring Sex and Gender in Bioarchaeology written by Sabrina C. Agarwal and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together the latest approaches in bioarchaeology in the study of sex and gender. Archaeologists have long used skeletal remains to identify gender. Contemporary bioarchaeologists, however, have begun to challenge the theoretical and methodological basis for sex assignment from the skeleton. Simultaneously, they have started to consider the cultural construction of the gendered body and gender roles, recognizing the body as uniquely fashioned from the interaction of biological, social, and environmental factors. As the contributors to this volume reveal, combining skeletal data with contextual information can provide a richer understanding of life in the past.

Download or read book Mortal Desire Origins of Sexual Violence written by Dr. Lawrence J. Simon and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The content within Mortal Desire includes descriptions of atrocious crimes against humanity. By exploring why these crimes occur, we, as a society, can work together to help reduce the situations that can lead a person down the path toward violent crime. As uncomfortable as it may be, it is essential that we evaluate the motivation and desires of those committing these atrocities. Just by turning on the news, we are faced with a world of heinous crime that is incomprehensible to the vast majority of us. Inside the mind of a serial killer, a drastically different thought pattern and method of rationalization are at work. Often times, these thought patterns are void of guilt or remorse. To understand how these horrible acts happen, understanding the mind of a killer is essential. Keywords: Sex, Violence, Killers, Serial, Crimes, Atrocities, Mental Health, Offenders, Psychology
