SUMMARY
The aim of this volume is to offer an International panorama of 
gendered and sexualised experiences, with new and original data 
collected from a variety of cultural settings and socio-political 
contexts. We look at many parts of the world (Japan, Sweden, Poland 
Cyprus, Spain, US, Australia, Canada, Hungary) with different 
assumptions and expectations, often revealing various research 
practices and traditions. Gendered or sexualised discourses are 
unstable constructions, in permanent transition, in a perpetual 
struggle to gain social legitimacy and to counter the workings of 
opposite discourses. They constitute privileged vantage points from 
which one can observe and judge power relationships. New identities 
are created and reproduced, refused and challenged.
