Sanc�fied Sex draws on two thousand years of rabbinic debates to address compe�ng aspira�ons for loving in�macy, passionate sexual union, and sanc�ty in marriage.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
From the tenor of contemporary discussions, it would be easy to conclude that the idea of marriage between two people of the same sex is a uniquely contemporary phenomenon. Not so, argues Gary Ferguson in Same-Sex Marriage in Renaissance Rome. 10

Jean-Luc Nancy Translated by Steven Miller
Feminist Criticism after Trump Bonnie Honig
Drawing on a fascina�ng array of sources, Jean-Luc Nancy develops a new philosophical account of sexuality that that resonates with contemporary research on gender and biopoli�cs—and troubles our concep�ons of existence.
A bi�ng, funny, up-to-theminute collec�on of essays by a major poli�cal thinker that gets to the heart of what feminist cri�cism can do in the face of everyday poli�cs. Shell-Shocked shows how women have talked back, acted out, and built anew.

An up-close look at how porn permeates our culture. Barton explores what “raunch culture” is, why it ma�ers, and how it is ruining America.

Two thema�cally related “precious scrolls” (baojuan) from the Ming dynasty, The Precious Scroll on the Red Gauze and The Precious Scroll of the Handkerchief, illustrate the difficul�es faced by women whose religious devo�on conflicted with the demands of marriage and motherhood in Late Imperial China.
