Cities and Sexualities (Critical Introductions to Urbanism and the City)

摘要

With historical perspective and geographical spread, Cities and Sexualities offers a cornucopia of research findings and analyses. These demonstrate the role of the city in shaping our sexual lives, which are commonly constrained by people who fear sexuality and are misinformed about the impact of its public expression. Hubbard explains that sexuality is biologically, psychologically, and socially integral to humans. And cities are spaces of social and sexual liberation because the heterogeneity and density of the city facilitate a diverse range of sexual behaviours; the economy supports a plethora of activities; and advertising and lighting create ambience.
