Prostitution Research in Context: Methodology, Representation and Power: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Prostitution Research in Context: Methodology, Representation and Power" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The starting point for this book is the question of how we research sex for sale and the implications of the choices we make in terms of epistemology and ethics. Which dilemmas and ethical aspects need to be taken into account when producing qualitative data within a highly politicised and moral-infected realm? These two questions are exactly what Spanger and Skilbrei aim to unpack in this unusual interdisciplinary methodology book, Prostitution Research in Context.The book offers contributions from a number of scholars who, based on their reflections on their own research practice and the existing knowledge field, discuss ongoing methodological issues and challenges representative of international research on sex for sale. Some chapters deal explicitly with methodological dilemmas in research; others thematise the encounter between prostitution research and general texts on epistemology. Other chapters again actively engage with the ethical dilemmas that research on the topic of sex for sale can entail. The authors represent different disciplines, but share an interest in engaging in reflexive research practices informed by feminism and feminist epistemologies.An authoritative contribution to the field, this innovative volume will appeal to international scholars and students from across the social sciences and humanities in areas such as sociology, anthropology, criminology, media studies, feminist studies, human geography and history.

Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale
Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale is a new and exciting series emphasising innovative work on the complexities of sex for sale, its practices, the policies designed to regulate it and their effects. It covers both recent and historical developments with an aim to explore multidisciplinary and international perspectives, expand theoretical approaches, and analyse matters which are the subject of controversy and debate in this field.
We welcome submissions of single and co-authored books, as well as edited collections that address sex for sale, its practices and regulation, including those with a focus on: comparative analysis; multi-scalar approaches; methodological perspectives; cultural and economic contexts; and the policies concerned with the regulation of sex for sale.
This series emerges from, and intends to expand the work of the European Concerted Research COST Action IS1209 Comparing European Prostitution Policies: Understanding Scales and Cultures of Governance (ProsPol), a European network funded under Horizon 2020 (www.prospol.eu).
Isabel Crowhurst is Lecturer in Sociology and Criminology at the University of Essex, UK, and coordinator (Chair) of ProsPol. Her research lies at the intersection of sociology, criminology, and critical social policy and centres on the regulation, social control, and lived experiences of commercial sex practices and of intimacy. She has researched and published on the regulation of commercial sex and of prostitution-related migrations of women in contemporary Europe. She has good editorial experience having co-edited four special issues of academic journals.
Rebecca Pates, Professor of Political Theory at Leipzig University, Germany, is (co-)director of a number of grants for research projects on the micro-political regulation of prostitution and trafficking funded by the EU and the German Research Council. These research projects combine grounded theory with discourse analysis. She works on theories of the state, political anthropology and theories of policing. Besides publications on the regulation of sex work in Germany, she has edited a volume on the social construction of German ethnicities and is currently working on a monograph on policing in East Germany.
May-Len Skilbrei is Professor in Criminology at the University of Oslo. Norway, and vice-chair of ProsPol. She works within the fields of criminology, gender studies and sociology of law, and does research on the formulation and implementation of legislation and welfare policies on prostitution nationally and regionally (the Nordic region), as well as on womens narratives of human trafficking. She has published broadly on prostitution and trafficking internationally. She is also an experienced editor, with four edited special issues to her name.

Methodology, Representation and Power
Edited by Marlene Spanger and May-Len Skilbrei
Spanger and Skilbrei reach beyond disciplinary silos in posing novel epistemological questions that push researchers, practitioners and services providers to reconsider status quo approaches to, and understandings of, transactional sex. By explicitly and fearlessly connecting political and theoretical issues, this edited collection offers a novel empirical contribution to an all-too-often polarized field of research.

For the first time, we have an interdisciplinary collection of work dedicated exclusively to sex work/prostitution research methodologies. In this inspiring, ground-breaking collection written by a number of key international scholars in the field, editors Spanger and Skilbrei urge us to think critically about the politics, power relations and positionality in research processes and knowledge production about the sale of sex, and about how we can engage in informed and reflexive (feminist) research practices about the subject. A must read for anyone considering embarking upon sex work research.

The study of prostitution appears one of the most ethically challenging and contentious areas of research in the social sciences. Avoiding stereotyped representations of this complex and diverse area of study, this edited collection provides a balanced and timely assessment of the way that those researching prostitution are obliged to situate their studies in a wider political and social context. A must read for all those who are researching prostitution, and an important contribution to debates in feminist epistemology and methodology.
