商品簡介
Davidson (sociology, U. of Nottingham) looks at the deeper social, economic and psychological issues that comprise the sexual contract system of late-modern Western culture, and why children, who are considered outside of contract, are thought by some to be a refuge from what she terms the "existential horror" of that system. Davidson examines the so-called sanctity of the child, the anomaly of prostitution and its variability, the redefinition of slavery and freedom within the sex trade, the role of oppression, whether sexual or not, the dualism inherent in trafficking of adults and children, the relation between pedophilia and sexual politics, the problem of demand in prostitution and child sex tourism, and ways to reorder thinking about sexual politics and their relationship to both children and adults.
