这个世界充斥着与性有关的故事。从虐童丑闻到同性恋出柜；从安妮塔·希尔和克拉伦斯·托马斯到迈克尔·杰克逊的烦恼；从性调查到治疗小组？性话题变得越来越明显。这本书探讨了性故事讲述文化的礼仪。举三个主要的例子？强奸故事，出柜故事，康复故事？它检查了这些新出现的叙述和社会历史条件的性质，这导致了他们。它关注的是女性的崛起？美国运动，男女同性恋运动和复苏？运动作为重大社会变革的先兆，鼓励讲述新故事。在一个强有力的结语部分，这本书转向了更广泛的关注，即讲故事在后现代文化中可能发生的变化，以及它在创建参与式民主政治文化中的核心作用。肯·普卢默解释了怎么做？叙事转向？文化研究可以在社会学中进行，并表明故事社会学对故事提出的问题与文化研究中提出的问题不同。对文本的迷恋？叙事结构、体裁和隐喻？现在补充了关于故事所扮演的社会和政治角色的问题，以及故事被构建和消费的社会过程，以及故事可能鼓励的政治变化。讲述性故事对我们理解性和亲密文化做出了重大贡献。
The world has become cluttered with sexual stories. From child abuse scandals to lesbians and gays coming out; from Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas to the troubles of Michael Jackson; from sexual surveys to therapy groups?sexual talk has become more and more evident. This book explores the rites of a sexual story telling culture. Taking three major examples?rape stories, coming out stories, recovery stories?it examines the nature of these newly emerging narratives and the socio-historical conditions which have given rise to them. It looks at the rise of the women?s movement, the lesbian and gay movement and the ?recovery? movement as harbingers of significant social change that encourage the telling of new stories. In a powerful concluding section, the book turns to the wider concern of how story telling may be changing in a postmodern culture and how central it may be in the creation of a participatory democratic political culture. Ken Plummer illustrates how ?the narrative turn? of cultural studies may be taken up within sociology and suggests that a sociology of stories asks different questions about stories from those posed within cultural studies. The fascination with texts?with narrative structure, genre and metaphor?is now supplemented with questions around the social and political role that stories play, with the social processes through which they are constructed and consumed, with the political changes that stories may encourage. Telling Sexual Stories is a major contribution to our understanding of sexuality and the cultures of intimacy.
