Sinopse

First published in 2004. The world has become cluttered with sexual stories. From child abuse scandals to lesbian and gays coming out, from Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas to the travails of Michael Jackson, from sexual surveys to therapy groups - sexual talk has become more and more evident.This book explores the rites of a sexual story-telling culture. Taking three major examples - rape stories, coming-out stories, recovery stories - it examines the nature of these newly emerging narratives and the socio-historical conditions which have given rise to them. It looks at the rise of the women?s movement, the lesbian and gay movement and the ?recovery? movement as harbingers of significant social change that encourage the telling of new stories. In a powerful concluding section, the book turns to the wider concern of how story telling may be changing in a postmodern culture and how central it may be in the creation of a participatory democratic political culture.Ken Plummer illustrates how ?the narrative turn? of cultural studies may be taken up within sociology. He suggests that a sociology of stories asks different questions about stories from those posed within cultural studies. Telling Sexual Stories is a major contribution to our understanding of sexuality and the cultures of intimacy.
