| description | Corinne Fortier has collected original texts, brimming up with detailed information on the transformations of the sexual body, including the doings of recent Western plastic surgery. Ethnography had focused on rituals increasingly rejected as mutilations of genital organs (excision). Practices, dismissed as primitive and exotic, reflect however fundamental and universal concerns about the differences between male and female organs, the gender hierarchy and the achievement of sexual pleasure. This special issue provides an anthropological view of the cultural continuum of the queries and anxieties linked to sexuality, at the time of the expansion of plastic genital surgery, responding to personal wishes of changes in sexual identity and outlook |
