This book develops a performative and relational approach to gendered and sexualised
bodies conceived as distinct from the more limited individualistic idea of sexual
identity and orientation that is at play within notions of progress in contemporary
transnational sexual politics. Focusing on the psychosocial dimension of sexual life,
Sabsay challenges accepted ideas of increased emancipation, and the steady extension
of rights, offering instead a critique of the liberal imaginary that is at the base
of the sexual rights-bearing subject. The book offers a notion of sexual embodiment
that provides an alternative to individualism, one that is social, radically relational
and psychically divided, and that implies a different conception of democratic sexual
politics for our time. This book brings together political and cultural analysis of
sexual rights discourse with a strong theory of the relational subject whose political
investments and articulations depend on a political imaginary. This is a highly original
and methodical text which will be of particular interest to academics and scholars
of gender and sexuality studies, sociology, politics and psychology
