Popis:	In this introduction we set a number of sociological insights when looking at gender normativity in the Middle east, namely 1). The variability of hierarchies shaping norms; (2) the multiplicity of sources of authority on gender and sexuality that always coexist; (3) the existence of realms of activity in which the quest for pleasure seems to take precedence over dominant ethical goal setting, sometimes producing its own framework of normative expectations; and 4) the limits of our capacity as historians and social-science researchers to give a full account of the experience of sexuality. We then present the plan of the books.
