[Sorry for cross-posting] Dear all, I trust this email finds you well. I want to share the release of my new book "Israeli Masculinity, Sex Work, and Consumerism," as part of Routledge's Focus on Global Gender and Sexuality series, in case it is of interest: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9781003128670/israeli-mascu... Based on digital ethnography spanning three distinct time periods and on various Israeli-based digital platforms, this book delves into the impact of digitalization on the economics of demand. Furthermore, the book underscores the intricate interplay between masculine heteronormative sexual scripts and the prevailing cultural repertoires of Israeli society. By revealing the inner world of Israeli sex work consumers and their use of digital technologies, the book illustrates how profound sentiments of camaraderie, homosociality, and brotherhood give rise to thriving online communities of sex consumers who function as a platform on which power relations between men themselves are publicly displayed and are constantly challenged. Finally, to address the elephant in the room, I acknowledge the current polarization of opinions on Israel. I trust that your position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will not hinder your interest in reading the book. If this sentence is redundant, ignore it. Furthermore, despite being written prior to the war, I am confident that the book can illuminate aspects of Israeli masculinity that have been particularly prevalent in our lives in recent months.
