Sexology与sexuality有何区别？

什么是性/别（gender/sexuality）？

Sexuality 所对应的“性”的意义内涵是什么？

中国传统语境下的身体，和西方语境下的身体有何异同？

两者又如何介入了当代中国民间身体观的构建？

带着这些问题，作者将首先从“性/别”与“身体”入手，将“身体如何记忆，性/别如何叙事”作为本书关注的核心问题。并以肯尼•普拉莫的故事社会学为基础，在一种批判的人文与社科视角下，努力在中国的变迁社会情境中搭建一个性/别与身体叙事的故事社会学分析框架。

身体与性/别的研究在中国社会科学界尚属前沿，经验研究文献尤其缺乏。黄盈盈在多年田野研究的基础之上，结合对社会学理论与方法的反思与思考，深入探讨了当代中国社会中的身体问题，特别是女性以及多元性别的身体。

在本书中，我们将看到几类群体的性与身体故事，分别是城市白领女性、乳腺癌患者、女性艾滋病感染者、加拿大中国移民、变性人等。这些故事，从不同的面向具体地探讨了“中国式”的身体问题，促进身体、性及多元性别领域本土学术语境的形成，以及相关学科在中国的建设与发展。

Amazon.com A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Wall Street Journal， Faludi lays out a two-fold thesis in this aggressive work: First， despite the opinions of pop-psychologists and the mainstream media， career-minded women are generally not husband-starved loners on the verge of nervous breakdowns. Secondly， such beliefs are nothing more than anti-feminist propaganda pumped out by conservative research organizations with clear-cut ulterior motives. This backlash against the women's movement， she writes， "stands the truth boldly on its head and proclaims that the very steps that have elevated women's positions have actually led to their downfall." Meticulously researched， Faludi's contribution to this tumultuous debate is monumental and it earned the 1991 National Book Critics Circle Award for General Nonfiction. From Publishers Weekly Far from being "liberated，" American women in the 1980s were victims of a powerful backlash against the handful of small， hard-won victories the feminist movement had achieved， says Wall Street Journal reporter Faludi， who won a Pulitzer this year. Buttressing her argument with facts and statistics， she states that the alleged "man shortage" endangering women's chances of marrying (posited by a Harvard-Yale study) and the "infertility epidemic" said to strike professional women who postpone childbearing are largely media inventions. She finds evidence of antifeminist backlash in Hollywood movies， in TV's thirtysomething ， in 1980s fashion ads featuring battered models and in the New Right's attack on women's rights. She directs withering commentary at Robert Bly's all-male workshops， Allan Bloom's "prolonged rant" against women and Betty Friedan and Germaine Greer's revisionism. This eloquent， brilliantly argued book should be read by everyone concerned about gender equality. First serial to Glamour and Mother Jones.

Nira Yuval-Davis provides an authoritative overview and critique of writings on gender and nationhood, presenting an original analysis of the ways gender relations affect and are affected by national projects and processes. In Gender and Nation Yuval-Davis argues that the construction of nationhood involves specific notions of both 'manhood' and 'womanhood'. She examines the contribution of gender relations to key dimensions of nationalist projects - the nation's reproduction, its culture and citizenship - as well as to national conflicts and wars, exploring the contesting relations between feminism and nationalism. Gender and Nation is an important contribution to the debates on citizenship, gender and nationhood. It will be essential reading for academics and students of women's studies, race and ethnic studies, sociology and political science.
