Book Description
This book delves into this almost unchartered territory, documenting the lived experiences of sex workers in Bangladesh, considering the complex realities of their day-to-day lives and the ways they negotiate their working conditions and relationships. Despite being the most common form of female deviance and criminality globally, we know very little about sex work in Asia and the global south. Drawing on feminist frameworks, it shows that the experiences of sex workers vary widely depending on the ways they enter the sex trade, their modes of operation, and relationships with significant others. Towards a Southern Approach to Sex Work contributes to feminist scholarship on sex work, by offering a much needed southern perspective, drawing on culturally specific data. It argues that the lived experience of sex workers comprises both victimhood and agency, deception and resilience, and that it is the management of these relationships that enable sex works to avoid social marginalization and alienation. An accessible and compelling read, this will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, gender studies, south Asian studies, cultural studies, social theory and policy makers. In addition, it will engage all those interested in learning more about how the sex trade operates in Bangladesh.

Women and Sex Tourism Landscapes
Author: Erin Sanders-McDonagh
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317601157
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Sexual spaces, normally inhabited by (mostly) female sex workers, are understood as masculine spaces, and positioned for and around male consumers. However, red light zones and public sex performances in both Thailand and Holland are being explored and visually consumed by female tourists in significant numbers. Their presence in red light districts and sexual venues is at odds with the ways in which sexual spaces have normally been positioned. Woman and Sex Tourism Landscapes explores female tourists' interactions with highly sexualized spaces and places in two very different contexts: the Netherlands and Thailand. Addressing this incongruence, this text explores the ways in which these spaces are constructed, and examines the different relations that govern the management of, and female tourist interactions with these liminal,sexual zones. Ethnographic data collected in both countries suggests that far from being male-centred spaces, the red light districts and associated sexual entertainment venues are very much open to female tourists. Drawing on this research the author argues that some women are indeed interested in exploring sexualized zones, challenging assumptions about women’s involvements with sexual space. Thinking specifically about the visual nature of women's sexualized experiences, the analysis draws on a range of different theoretical understandings that address power, privilege, and the gaze. An important contribution to a range of debates, this book will appeal to students and researchers in tourism, geography, sociology, gender studies and cultural theory.

Het Boek der Makkabeeën
Author: Apostel Arne Horn
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1291744134
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Na de terugkeer uit de Baylonische ballingschap braken een paar eeuwen van relatieve rust aan voor het joodse volk. De tempel kon worden herbouwd, en onder de monotheïstische Perzische heerschappij kon men relatief vrij het eigen geloof uitoefenen. Dat veranderde toen de Perzen in 337 v.C. werden aangevallen door de Grieks-Macedonische koning Philippus. Zijn zoon Alexander de Grote maakte het karwei af, waardoor Palestina onderdeel werd van de hellenistische wereld. Na de dood van Alexander in 323 v.C. werd zijn omvangrijke rijk verdeeld onder zijn generaals. Mesopotamië, Perzië en Klein-Azië (Asia Minor) gingen naar Seleucus; Palestina en Egypte werden toegewezen aan Ptolemaeüs.
