Such a literacy is not just concerned with developing fluency in sexuality as a "hot" topic, but with understanding the intimate interconnectedness of sexuality and literacy in Western culture. Alexander unpacks what he sees as a crucial dimension of literacy: the fundamental ways in which sexuality has become a key component of contemporary literate practice, of the stories we tell about ourselves, our communities, and our political investments.--Book jacket.Introduction: Toward sexual literacy -- Sites of theory and writing: Discursive sexualities: bridging sexuality and literacy studies -- Beyond textbook sexuality: students reading, students writing -- Sites of pedagogy: Queer theory for straight students sex and identity -- Transgender rhetorics sex and gender -- Straight talk about marriage: sex and politics -- Sites of resistance: Susie Bright in the Comp class: confronting resistances.born digitalbooksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
