16. The power of character : Middle-class masculinities, 1800–1900
Sammanfattning : This is a study of continuity and change in middle-class conceptions of ideal manhood. My theoretical cues are the notions of the male as an unproblematised and genderless norm, masculinity as homosocial, and George L. Mosse’s use of countertypes.

17. Bombay Going: Migration, return and anti-trafficking in the lives of Nepali migrant sex workers
Sammanfattning : Set against the background of a critical examination of anti-trafficking organisations’ dominant discourses of sex trafficking in the Nepali context, this dissertation provides an ethnographic account of how Tamang women and men in the Sindhupalchowk district, defined by these organisations as severely affected by sex trafficking, understand what they define as “Bombay going” or migration for sex work. The main motivation for this endeavour is that very little, if anything, has been said about sex trafficking and anti-trafficking efforts from the perspective of Tamang women besides the studies based on the rehabilitation and reintegration programmes led by anti-trafficking organisations that concentrate exclusively on the women’s identity as victims.

18. Crime, punishment, and counselling – a study of the local judicial and social work application of prostitution policy in Sweden

The thesis consists of four papers based on two empirical studies, including legal documents concerning the enforcement of the Swedish Sex Purchase Act (Chapter 6 Section 11 of the Criminal Code), and interviews with professionals within social services providing counselling to individuals with the experience of purchasing sexual services.

Sammanfattning : Originally published in two volumes in 1748-9, John Cleland’s Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (or Fanny Hill) has long been an underground classic. Because of this underground status, and the prejudicial treatment of literary pornography, Memoirs has never been thoroughly investigated. LÄS MER
