Contents:

Introduction -- A Nonlinear History of Sexuality: Deleuze with Foucault -- Psychoanalysis Unhinged: Deleuze with Lacan, Klein, and Reich -- Folding, Individuation, and the Pleasurable Body -- Orgasmic Feminism -- Disabling Sex: Inventing a People who are Missing -- Becoming-Animal and the Posthuman Orgasm -- Capitalism and Sexuality -- Epilogue: Swedish Sin, or the Importance of Remaining Curious.

Summary: "How is sexual pleasure inscribed into conceptions of the body, gender, health and the human? What is its role in the construction of these notions? And, most importantly, how can it contribute to an expansion of what they mean? Intervening into fields including posthumanist, disability, animal and feminist studies, and current critiques of capitalism and consumerism, Frida Beckman addresses these questions to recover a theory of sexuality from Deleuze's work"--Publisher's website.
