Our instinctual drive to shape the world around us and fulfill ourselves through labor is subverted by capitalist alienation, leaving us to find fulfillment elsewhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As a result, our erotic drives become the central focus for transformation and life-making. Still, they are restricted and fuelled by whatever energy is left after completing the monetized or social reproductive work required to survive. This alienation encounters ongoing resistance, as life-making activity can never be entirely separated from the person who labors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Alan Sears explores the ways this alienation frames the processes of gender and sexual formation, showing how the organization of work contributes to the development of a dominant regime of gendered sexualities, defined by a binary gender mapping of desire as heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Sears\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Mapping Social Reproduction Theory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745349435","brand":"Pluto Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43311375057033,"sku":"9780745349435","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_91fb8475-07d4-4e24-9fbc-a1cd937228e2.jpg?v=1738054807","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/eros-and-alienation-capitalism-and-the-making-of-gendered-sexualities-9780745349435","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
