El capital sexual en la Modernidad tardía de ILLOUZ, EVA en pdf

Given the increasing commercialization of sex and sexual identity, Eva Illouz and Dana Kaplan use the notion of «sexual capital» as a prism through which to investigate the ways in which sex creates inequality, particularly gender-related. This book begins with a general review of the historical transition that began from the modern formations of sex and the erotic to those that emerged in late modernity. This historical and theoretical exploration allows us to develop the idea of late modern sexual capital. For the authors, the focus is mainly on the relationship between sexuality and employment, as it emerges today as a different form of sexual capital. Through the analytical perspective of sexual and erotic capital, this essay offers a sociological analysis of sexualities as a new form of inequality under neoliberal capitalism.
