sexuality, from Havelock Ellis to more recent influential
thinkers such as Michel Foucault. Jeffrey Weeks gives an
account of the social and political context in which they
wrote, and assesses how their work has shaped our concepts
of sexuality and intimacy. The second part of the book
explores the ways in which sociologists and historians have
been rethinking sexuality, and how 'the erotic' is being
reinvented by new sexual and social movements. He examines
the impact of AIDS as well as the gradual changes which have
transformed personal lives in this century, and concludes
with a review of attitudes and ideas at the end of the
millennium." "This text will be of interest to specialists
and students in the areas of sociology and social theory,
and history, as well as all those working in the area of
gender studies who are concerned with issues of sexuality
and intimate life."--BOOK JACKET.
