PrEP, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Barebacking
Marking the tenth anniversary of Tim Dean’s Unlimited Intimacy, Raw returns to the question of sex without condoms, or barebacking, a timely topic in the age of PrEP, a drug that virtually eliminates the transmission of HIV.
"Finally, queer theory returns to a topic it has had surprisingly little to say about: sex! Underpinning these essays is a thrilling wager: that desire demands discourse but resists rationalization. " —Damon R. Young, author of Making Sex Public and Other Cinematic Fantasies
"A major contribution to research. It opens up the discourse on barebacking to a varity of perspectives and theoretical arguments, and makes clear that the topic remains relevant. " —John Paul Ricco, author of The Decision Between Us
"Raw provides an account of the state of queer-theoretical scholarship on bareback today, and makes a pluralising and distinctive contribution to that body of work, significantly broadening this field of scholarship. " —Oliver Davis, editor of Bareback Sex and Queer Theory across Three National Contexts (France, UK, US)
