This comprehensive Encyclopedia analyzes sexuality as a fundamental aspect of human existence that is intricately woven into the fabric of society. Leading experts examine how it influences identities, social institutions, cultural norms and political structures to shape human interaction. Contributors investigate complex interplays to explain how sexuality manifests across locations, time, cultures and contexts. They propose that sexuality is not merely a biological function, but a social construct that encompasses desire, identity and behavior. From the basis of desire to marriage and infidelity and from the construction of sexuality to fantasies and the future of sex, this Encyclopedia explores the diversity of sexual norms and practices across societies. The Elgar Encyclopedia of Sex and Society is an essential resource for scholars and students of social policy, sociology, gender and sexuality. Government policymakers will similarly benefit from its actionable recommendations for fostering inclusion and diversity. Key Features:Outlines how globalization has facilitated the exchange of sexual norms and practicesProvides insight into how sexuality has shaped human history and continues to influence the world todayAssesses the symbiotic relationship between sexuality and society across the public spheres of law, religion and mediaEvaluates how the global spread of LGBTQIA+ rights has met with both progress, as in the legalization of same-sex marriage, and backlash, evidenced by anti-gay legislation in parts of Africa and Eastern Europe
