Routledge Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance - Multilevel Analysis

Gendered Power Dynamics and Exotic Dance offers a comprehensive multilevel analysis of exotic dancing as a social phenomenon, examining dancer interactions, organisational practices, and institutional forces that shape this industry. Authored within the Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale series, this Routledge publication centres the voices and experiences of exotic dancers whilst exploring power dynamics across micro-interactional, meso-organisational, and macro-institutional levels. The book develops a feminist theory of power designed to identify systems of domination and provide frameworks for challenging and changing them. Grounded in rigorous research, this work reframes conversations around sexuality, labour, and gender by moving beyond surface-level analysis to examine how power operates within and across the exotic dance industry. Essential reading for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in gender studies, labour dynamics, and social justice.
