商品簡介
The intersection of law and sexuality extends beyond the use of law for making sexual norm-based judgments, according to Craig (law, Dalhousie U., Canada), who argues that sexuality is an aspect of human experience that is at once produced through society, regulated by society, and used to regulate society. She pursues a theory of law and sexuality that is cognizant of the complexities that arise through an examination of the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Canada over the past 20 years, investigating the ways in which the Court understands sexuality, how that understanding influences its legal reasoning, changes in the Court's conceptual approach in recent years, and factors that have influenced those questions. She focuses primarily on public law, including sexual assault law, equality for sexual minorities, sexual harassment claims, and obscenity and indecency laws.
