Reconfiguring Stigma in Studies of Sex for Sale is about the
production and effects of stigma in sex work or prostitution with
contributions from four continents and different disciplines that
taken together explore how such stigma is conditioned by differences
in time, place, citizenship, gender, sexuality, class and race. Stigma
is about relationships between people and also sets an interpretative
frame whereby people understand and react to situations and actions,
and the book is developed and organized to investigate this from
various angles. It presents empirical studies that build on and expand
the scholarship on stigma and sex work. This means that it contributes
to a more complex understanding of stigma in sex work studies.
Further, by using the example of sew work to explore how we can best
understand the production and consequences of stigma, the book makes a
contribution that is relevant for all scholars who work on stigma and
stigmatization. The book is intended for academic audiences interested
in sex work or prostitution, on the one hand, and stigmatization, on
the other. It is also intended for students in a broad range of
disciplines, as well as for practitioners and activists who encounter
or work with stigmatization or stigmatized populations.
