Sex Work and Human Dignity: Law, Politics and Discourse: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Sex Work and Human Dignity: Law, Politics and Discourse" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The notion of human dignity is frequently, yet enigmatically, invoked in legal and political debates on sex work, where many people use it without much elaboration on exactly what they mean by it. Sex Work and Human Dignity: Law, Politics and Discourse sheds light on this enigma, by exploring how dignity-based discourses are used by those who write and talk about prostitution and also what role these discourses may play in shaping wider cultural understandings of sex work and sex workers.

The book draws on political discourse theory and is international in its scope, with analysis of legal cases, textual sources, and empirical data gathered through interviews with activists from several different countries in the Global North and South. The book traces how the concept of dignity is used in a range of legal and political discourses on sex work and ultimately asks to what extent dignity-based discourses help to advance, or hinder, sex workers social inclusion.

This book will appeal to students and researchers interested in sex work and feminism, as well as those who study human dignity. Its interdisciplinary nature means it will appeal to those working in a range of disciplines, including law, sociology, philosophy, and political theory.

This book is a must-read for everyone interested in the field of sex work. In a field dominated by intense ideological debates, with dignity a concept often used cursorily by those on different sides of the debate, this book invites us to think about how this ambiguous concept is deployed in legal and political discourses on sex workers. Through an examination of case-law and qualitative interviews, the author provides thought-provoking commentary on the consequences of dignity talk for sex workers.

Gillian Abel, Professor of Public Health, University of Otago, New Zealand

In this nuanced and intelligent work, Stewart Cunningham offers a fascinating account of the various ways in which human dignity is invoked in social, legal and political debates on the subject of sex work. Accessible, relevant and original, this should be essential reading for anyone interested in sex work, political and legal discourse, feminism and philosophy.

Professor Jane Scoular, Law School, University of Strathclyde, UK

This superb, deeply engaged book is the first discursive analysis of how understandings of dignity are used in legal, social, cultural and political discourses on sex work; the role of dignity talk in research and practice; how dignity talk can facilitate greater social inclusion for sex workers; and wider understandings of sex workers rights, dignity and humanity. Compelling and inspiring, this book will be core reading on my undergraduate and postgraduate modules and essential to my research and practice.

Maggie ONeill, Professor in Sociology, Head of the Department of Sociology & Criminology, University College Cork, Ireland

Stewart Cunningham completed his PhD at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. His research interests are focused on the legal regulation of sex work and political activism on sex work law reform.

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 combined 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, NO, 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.
