Downloaded on behalf of Unknown Institution Revised Pages Acknowledgments In game development and in the theater, collaboration is invaluable. Noth- ing gets made without a team. That is true of this book as well. Although it has my name on the cover, it is the product of many minds, hands, and hearts. I am pleased to share the credit with those who have worked and played alongside me as this book came to fruition. This project in its current form began at the University of California, Davis, where I have been lucky to find incredible colleagues in both early modern studies and game studies. Fran Dolan has been an especially atten- tive mentor and friend, supporting my scholarship and my career in too many ways to count. I am indebted to her and to Margie Ferguson for their feedback on earlier versions of many of my chapters, as well as to other writing group members over the years: Seeta Chaganti, Stephanie Elsky, Ari Friedlander, Noah Guynn, and Claire Waters. My thanks also to Molly McCarthy, whose feedback on grant proposals also pushed the project in useful directions, and to Lee Emrich, who provided superb editorial assis- tance on several article versions of my chapters. Sarah McCullough orga- nized an early writing group on games, where I received excellent feedback from her, Joe Dumit, Susan Kaiser, and Colin Milburn. Colin has been a vital interlocutor for me throughout the book’s development, and I cannot thank him enough for helping me articulate my contribution to game and media studies and for generously reading the entire manuscript to offer feedback at crucial junctures. Many of my ideas about games were shaped by my engagement with the ModLab Colin founded and particularly through conversations with Stephanie Boluk, Patrick LeMieux, Tim Lenoir, Michael Neff, and Amanda Phillips; graduate students Evan Lauteria, Joseph Nguyen, and Emma Waldron; and dozens of undergraduate interns who work on Play the Knave. I would highlight especially my fruitful col- laboration with graduate students Evan Buswell and Nick Toothman, the architects of Play the Knave, and Sawyer Kemp, whose observations about vicarious spectatorship at installations of the game helped me figure out how to situate Play the Knave in relation to my book’s larger argument Bloom, Gina.

  • Handbook of the New Sexuality Studies
    Handbook of the New Sexuality Studies Breaking new ground, both substantively and stylistically, the Handbook of the New Sexuality Studies offers students, academics, and researchers an accessible, engaging introduction and overview of this emerging field. The central premise of the volume is to explore the social character of sexuality, the role of social differences such as race or nationality in creating sexual variation, and the ways sex is entangled in relations of power and inequality. Through this novel approach the field of sexuality is therefore considered, for the first time, in multicultural, global, and comparative terms and from a truly social perspective. This important volume has been built around a collection of newly commissioned articles, essays and interviews with leading scholars, consisting of: ■ over 50 short and original essays on the key topics and themes in sexuality studies; ■ interviews with twelve leading scholars in the field which convey some of the most innovative work being done. Each contribution is original and conveys the latest thinking and research in writing that is clear and that uses examples to illustrate key points. The Handbook of the New Sexuality Studies will be an invaluable resource to all those with an interest in sexuality studies. Steven Seidman is Professor of Sociology at the State University of New York at Albany. He is the author of, among other books, Romantic Longings: Love in America, 1830–1980 (Routledge, 1991), Embattled Eros: Sexual Politics and Ethics in America (Routledge, 1992), Difference Troubles: Queering Social Theory and Sexual Politics (1997), Beyond the Closet (Routledge, 2002), and The Social Construction of Sexuality (2003).

  • On Sadomasochism: Taxonomies and Language
    Nicole Eitmann On Sadomasochism: Taxonomies and Language Governments try to regulate sadomasochistic activities (S/M). Curiously, though, no common definition of S/M exists and there is a dearth of statistically valid social science research on who engages in S/M or how participants define the practice. This makes it hard to answer even the most basic questions shaping state laws and policies with respect to S/M. This paper begins to develop a richer definition of sadomasochistic activities based on the reported common practices of those engaging in S/M. The larger question it asks, though, is why so little effort has been made by social scientists in general and sex researchers in particular to understand the practice and those who participate in it. As many social sci- entists correctly observe, sadomasochism has its “basis in the culture of the larger society.”1 Rethinking sadomasochism in this way may shed some light on the present age. A DEFINITIONAL QUAGMIRE In Montana, sadomasochistic abuse includes the depiction of a per- son clad in undergarments or in a revealing or bizarre costume.2 In Illinois, it is illegal to distribute or sell obscene material—defined in part as “sado- masochistic sexual acts, whether normal or perverted, actual or simu- lated.”3 The lack of a clear definition of what constitutes S/M is one major difficulty in developing appropriate policies with respect to S/M activities. Clearly, S/M means different things to different people, and there is a wide range of possible S/M activities—from light spanking or

  • Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadomasochism (Bdsm)/Kink
    BONDAGE AND DISCIPLINE, DOMINANCE AND SUBMISSION, 6 AND SADOMASOCHISM (BDSM)/KINK Brian is a white gay man of 55 who has been working with you in therapy for several sessions on the panic attacks and nightmares he has been expe- riencing following witnessing a person committing suicide at a tube sta- tion some months ago. For a couple of weeks you have sensed that there are some aspects of his life that he hasn’t been completely open about with you. At the end of a session he looks uncomfortable and says that there is something he has to tell you which he hopes won’t influence your opinion of him but which has been holding him back from talking about all aspects of his life. He says that he is in a 24/7 BDSM relationship as a slave for his partner, Jordan. Think about: • What is your formulation/understanding of the key issues for Brian? • What themes can you imagine emerging as you continue? • What assumptions might you bring to this? • How would you proceed? Being a kink-aware professional you let Brian know that you have some understanding of BDSM practices and relationships. He has probably already seen SM 101 and Powerful Pleasures on your bookshelf, and that probably helped him to tell you about this aspect of his life. Like many people, the idea of ‘24/7’ BDSM is one that you find difficult to understand, so you note your negative gut reaction as one you want to bracket as much as possible and explore in supervision.
