Sexual Meanings: The Cultural Construction of Gender and Sexuality
New York, Cambridge University Press, 1981. First Edition. Softcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. SIGNED by Harriet Whitehead, the junior author, being inscribed to the former owner. A perfectly serviceable reference copy from a professional scholar's library; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy, and with some but minimal penned notations and tick-marks as befits a working copy. This 1981 collection of essays was the staple of my grad school career, featuring then edge-cutting essays dealing with the ways in which sex and gender are socially organized and conceptually construed in various cultures and throughout history and in different fields and genres. From ceremonial virginity in Polynesian ritual to androgynism in New Guinea, from the valorization of young African bachelors and fantasies of male self-sufficiency in South American myth, fields as disparate as ethnography, paleontology, ethnology and history are interrogated. "Sex" and "gender" are always the outcome of social and cultural processes. Contributions by the two editors, Harriet Whitehead and Sherry Ortner and by Bradd Shore Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. x, [2], 2-435 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. .

Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear' previous owner's penned note at half-title. From the personal library of a noted Papua New Guinea-based researcher, scholar, activist and teacher, Laura Tamakoshi, who has contributed seminal works and activism on a number of fronts for four decades. From the publisher's blurb, "How did advertising come to seem natural and ordinary to magazine readers by the end of the nineteenth century? The Adman in the Parlor explores reader's; interactions with advertising during a period when not only consumption but advertising itself became established as a pleasure. Garvey argues that reader's participation in advertising, rather than top-down dictation by advertisers, made advertising a central part of American culture. Garvey's analysis interweaves such texts and artifacts as advertising trade journals, magazines addressed to elite, middle class, and poorer readerships, scrapbooks, medical articles, paper dolls, chromolithographed trade cards, and contest rules."
