Rachel O'Neill is Research Fellow in Sociology at the University of York. She received a PhD in Gender and Cultural Studies from King’s College London in 2016. Her work is concerned with intimacy, subjectivity, power and sexual politics.
Within the so-called seduction community, the ability to meet and attract women is understood as a skill which heterosexual men can cultivate through practical training and personal development. Though it has been an object of media speculation – and frequent sensationalism – for over a decade, this cultural formation remains poorly understood.
In the first book-length study of the industry, Rachel O’Neill takes us into the world of seduction seminars, training events, instructional guidebooks and video tutorials. Pushing past established understandings of ‘pickup artists’ as pathetic, pathological or perverse, she examines what makes seduction so compelling for those drawn to participate in this sphere.
Seduction vividly portrays how the twin rationalities of neoliberalism and postfeminism are reorganising contemporary intimate life, as labour-intensive and profit-orientated modes of sociality consume other forms of being and relating. It is essential reading for students and scholars of gender, sexuality, sociology and cultural studies, as well as anyone who wants to understand the seduction industry’s overarching logics and internal workings.

因為話題性很強所以受到不少關注的一本書。但讀瞭之後還是挺令人失望的。大概就是講瞭PUA本身就蘊含著新自由主義和後女權主義的邏輯。因此和亞文化比起來更像是主流文化的縮影。PUA之所以那麼受歡迎的另一個原因是它為男性提供瞭一個能夠在homosocial氛圍下談論性的艱辛的環境,並幫助他們培養heterosexual prowess,從而在其他男性麵前展現自己的男性氣質。總體寫得很一般。作者刻意迴避瞭近些年來對於霸權性男性氣質的爭論,而是采取瞭更後結構主義的視角(嗬嗬????),盡管新自由主義/後女權主義對於性腳本和男性氣質的滲透這一論點本可以完善Connell關於跨國商務男性氣質的霸權性的論述:這種男性氣質的統治地位來自其新自由主義邏輯對商業精英之外的人群的滲透,而不是商業精英社會地位
