The world has become cluttered with sexual stories. From child abuse scandals to lesbian and gays coming out; from Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas to the travails of Michael Jackson; from sexual surveys to therapy groups - sexual talk has become more and more evident. This book explores the rites of a sexual story-telling culture. Taking three major examples - rape stories, coming-out stories, recovery stories - it examines the nature of these newly emerging narratives and the socio-historical conditions which have given rise to them. It looks at the rise of the women's movement, the lesbian and gay movement and the 'recovery' movement as harbingers of significant social change that encourage the telling of new stories. In a powerful concluding section, the book turns to the wider concern of how story telling may be changing in a postmodern culture and how central it may be in the creation of a participatory democratic political culture. Ken Plummer illustrates how 'the narrative turn' of cultural studies may be taken up within sociology and suggests that a sociology of stories asks different questions about stories from those posed within cultural studies. The fascinati with texts - with narrative structure, genre and metaphor - is now supplemented with questions around the social and political role that stories play, with the social processes through which they are constructed and consumed, with the political changes that stories may encourage. Telling Sexual Stories is a major contribution to our understanding of sexuality and the cultures of intimacy. Ken Plummer is Reader in Sociology at Essex University.

纪念下我的第一本完全看完的英文书，相对于Haraway非常易读了。非常有趣，通过故事的叙说方式，能不能被听见，怎样被听见，以及那些从未被听见的故事来了解背后的权力运作

故事社会学：故事在怎样的社会中被生产，又怎样作用于社会，stories不等于truth。（然而是种什么样的关系，是不是和话语分析、叙事分析差不多）

没有讨论方法论与抽样，所以令人感觉书中所讲述的历史变迁有些肤浅。。。而且真的有点repetitive 虽然历史视角本身还是挺有意思的。提出了研究者也是性故事生产的参与者，但是没能帮助研究者更好的面对“访谈对象之所以谈了这件事不是因为访谈者问了这件事吗？”之类的问题
