Reviews

Querying Consent gathers contributions that represent a diversity of perspectives on the multi-faceted issue of consent. The collection combines updated discussions on classical controversies with cutting edge and thought-provoking new questions altogether to a timely, much needed intervention and interrogation into the field of study on consent. An intriguing anthology that challenges the reader to think further and into new directions. --Robin Bauer author of Queer BDSM Intimacies - Critical Consent and Pushing Boundaries


A welcome interdisciplinary dialogue on the limits, exclusions, and paradoxes of consent, this volume poses delightfully challenging questions in a range of idioms and contexts. What does consenting to consent as an elementary relational paradigm prevent us from doing, seeing, knowing? Querying Consent could not be more timely. --Tim Dean author of Unlimited Intimacy: Reflections on the Subculture of Barebacking The essays collected in Querying Consent variously call attention to situations in which what might seem to be consent could in fact be construed to as something closer to coercion--not just in sexual interactions, but in everything from software user agreements to the fine print in authorization forms for medical treatment. --Tim Dean Harper's Magazine Querying Consent gathers contributions that represent a diversity of perspectives on the multi-faceted issue of consent.
