Binding and Unbinding Kink: Pain, Pleasure, and Empowerment in Theory and Practice

Clifford-Napoleone, Amber R.

This book is a collection of essays highlighting different disciplinary, topical, and practical approaches to the study of kink and popular culture.  The volume is written by both academics and practitioners, bringing the essays a special perspective not seen in other volumes. Essays included examine everything from Nina Hartley fan letters to kink shibari witches to kink tourism in a South African prison. The focus is not just on kink as a sexual practice, but on kink as a subculture, as a way of living, and as a way of seeing popular culture in new and interesting ways.
