Intimate Citizenship by Ken Plummer

Examines transformations in the realm of intimacy and the conflicts - the 'intimate troubles' - to which these changes give rise. This book focuses on the overlap of public and private and asks the question, what impact does the increasingly public character of personal life have on our sense of ourselves and on how we view our intimate choices?

Ken Plummer has an international reputation as a distinguished scholar of social interaction and human sexuality. He is professor of sociology at the University of Essex in England, and the author of Telling Sexual Stories, Sexual Stigma, and Documents of Life, and founding editor of the journal Sexualities.
