Erotic Performance and Spectatorship: New Frontiers in Erotic Dance: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Erotic Performance and Spectatorship: New Frontiers in Erotic Dance" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Erotic dance is one of the most contentious issues in feminist debates today and a source of fascination in media and popular cultural representations. Yet, why is it that we currently know so little about those who perform erotic dance for female customers, or the experiences of these spectators themselves? The result of a unique investigation within two of the UKs leisure venues, Erotic Performance and Spectatorship seeks to rectify the aforementioned lack of insight. Through vivid ethnographies of a lesbian leisure venue and a male strip show, Pilchers research advances key debates about the gender and sexual politics of erotic dance, whilst simultaneously relating these to debates about the sex industry more widely. This book also subverts previous assumptions that only women perform erotic dance and only men spectate. Thus, this book stands out amongst other academic accounts, developing the debate beyond the established focus on erotic dance as either empowering or degrading. This new contribution to the study of erotic dance which provides a fresh theoretical perspective combining queer and feminist theorising, in addition to rich empirical evidence will appeal to academic researchers and both undergraduate and postgraduate students within the fields of sociology, gender studies, sexuality studies, gay & lesbian studies, feminism and other neighbouring disciplines. It will also be of interest to feminist and sex work activists, policy makers, and practitioners.

Opening up more knowledge and insight into the world of erotic dance, this multi-method visual project challenges the senses to think critically about stripping. Using carefully crafted reflections on feminist and queer theory, this book addresses complexities such as work, labour, performance, spectatorship and relations of power. Importantly, this book provides a rare glimpse into the engagement of female customers as the watchers, showing how erotic dance is not only the domain of male leisure.

Katy Pilchers book is an exciting and challenging incursion into the world of sex work in the form of erotic dance. The book captures the sensory and embodied experience of utilizing live methods ethnographic research at its best. I was told in 1980 that the sociology of sexuality was trivial and the authors reflections on what it means to be a sex work researcher indicate that, sadly, this view continues to exist. However, the insights and the issues that Pilcher raises will be of interest to social scientists, feminists and many others, who I believe will agree with me that this book is far from trivial.

An interesting and original book that brings a fresh approach to the study of sex work by looking at women as customers in erotic dance venues. Katy Pilcher pushes beyond conventional orthodoxies in three important ways: by questioning the heteronormative framing that assumes that women dance for men, by resisting the idea that erotic dance must either be empowering or subversive, and by showing its similarities to other forms of emotional and aesthetic labour in the service sector. A rich, up-to-date study that will be a must-read for everyone interested in gender, sexuality and work today.

The result of a unique investigation within two of the UKs leisure venues, Erotic Performance and Spectatorship seeks to rectify the aforementioned lack of insight. Through vivid ethnographies of a lesbian leisure venue and a male strip show, Pilchers research advances key debates about the gender and sexual politics of erotic dance, simultaneously relating these to debates about the sex industry more widely.

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 IS109 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.
