In the half-century before Poland's long-awaited political independence in 1918, anxiety surrounding the country's burgeoning sex industry fueled nearly constant public debate. The Devil's Chain is the first book to examine the world of commercial sex throughout the partitioned Polish territories, uncovering a previously hidden conversation about sexuality, gender propriety, and social class. Keely Stauter-Halsted situates the preoccupation with prostitution in the context of Poland's struggle for political independence and its difficult transition to modernity. She traces the Poles' growing anxiety about white slavery, venereal disease, and eugenics by examining the regulation of the female body, the rise of medical authority, and the role of social reformers in addressing the problem of paid sex. Stauter-Halsted argues that the sale of sex was positioned at the juncture of mass and elite cultures, affecting nearly every aspect of urban life and bringing together sharply divergent social classes in what had long been a radically stratified society. She captures the experiences of the impoverished women who turned to the streets and draws a vivid picture of the social milieu that shaped their choices. The Devil's Chain demonstrates that discussions of prostitution and its attendant disorders-sexual deviancy, alcoholism, child abuse, vagrancy, and other related problems-reflected differing visions for the future of the Polish nation.

Splendeurs et misères - Images de la prostitution (1850-1910) retrace la façon dont les artistes français et étrangers - fascinés par les acteurs et les lieux de ce fait social - n'ont cessé de rechercher de nouveaux moyens picturaux pour en représenter réalités et fantasmes.Thème de prédilection pour les artistes de 1850 à la Grande Guerre, la prostitution fascine autant les peintres, dessinateurs et photographes que les écrivains. L'Olympia de Manet ; L'Absinthe de Degas ; les maisons closes de Toulouse-Lautrec et Munch ; les figures audacieuses de Vlaminck, Van Dongen ou Picasso : l'exposition et le catalogue mettent en lumière la place centrale occupée par le monde de la prostitution dans le développement de la peinture moderne. Les dimensions sociales et culturelles ont également leur place au sein du parcours.

Canadian cities are striving for high safety ratings by eliminating crime, which includes "cleaning" urban areas of the street sex industry. Ironically, those same sex workers also want to live and work in a safe environment. Shawna Ferris interrogates sanitizing political agendas, analyzes exclusionary legislative and police initiatives, and examines media representations. She gives a voice to sex workers who are often pushed to the background, even by those who fight for them. In the name of urban safety and orderliness, street sex workers face stigma, racism, and ignorance. Their human rights are ignored, and some even lose their lives. Ferris aims to reveal the cultural dimensions of this discrimination through literary and art-critical theory, legal and sociological research, and activist intervention. This book has much to offer to educators and activists, sex workers and anti-violence organizations, and academics studying women, cultural, gender, or indigenous issues.
