Sorting Sexualities examines the legal management of sex offenders in sexually violent predator (SVP) trials alongside that of LGBTQ people seeking asylum from persecution in their home countries. Though these legal settings are diametrically opposed-one a punitive assessment, the other a protective one-they present a similar and telling conundrum: how do we know someone's sexuality? In both cases, state institutions are tasked with determining subjects' "true" sexualities, measuring the degree and type of "underlying deviance," and sorting the queer from the fraudulent. Stefan Vogler examines how and why the measurement and classification techniques that have emerged as a guide have come to diverge so dramatically. By delving into the histories behind these classification practices and analyzing their impact, Vogler shows how the science of sexuality is far more central to state power than we realize. Through legal analysis, interviews, and multi-sited ethnography, he examines how the state enrolls non-state experts-typically anthropologists, sociologists, and lawyers in asylum pleas, and psychiatrists and forensic psychologists in SVP trials-to help craft classificatory schemas that render sexual "others" legible to and thus manageable by the state. These classifications have led to the extension of rights for LGBTQ people, on the one hand, and the escalation of punishment for sex criminals, on the other"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sex and law $z United States. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $x Social aspects $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Gay political refugees $z United States. 650 0 $a Sex offenders $z United States. 650 0 $a Classification $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Evidence, Expert $z United States. 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of $z United States. 650 7 $a LAW / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Evidence, Expert. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917231 650 7 $a Gay political refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01749558 650 7 $a Justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985154 650 7 $a Sex and law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114252 650 7 $a Sex offenders. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114566 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526020223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A88D0F5ECF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
