Presentation: Social regulations of gender, sexuality and age: reflections on policies, practices and discourses from a regional perspective

Abstract

The aim of this text is to present the dossier “Social regulations of gender, sexuality and age: reflections on policies, practices and discourses from a regional perspective”. The dossier brings together academic works that, from different disciplines and conceptual perspectives, critically reflect on the ways in which gender and sexuality, in intersection with age, social class and race, are processed and socially regulated in contexts of inequality. Their contributions also allow us to reflect on such regulations as complex, conflicting and contested social, cultural and material configurations with historical variability that are re-articulated in the light of global processes of governance.
