Research Interests:
<p>Margot Weiss specializes in the ethnography of contemporary sexual cultures and politics. Her first book, Techniques of Pleasure: BDSM and the Circuits of Sexuality (Duke University Press), is based on ethnographic fieldwork with BDSM (kinky) communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. The book explores the links between queer performance, racial and gender politics, late capitalism, and neoliberalism. She is also completing a small comparative project on the queer temporality of BDSM play with national trauma in the United States and Germany. Her current research, Visions of Sexual Justice, is a comparative ethnography of discourses of sexual rights, freedom, and justice among contemporary LGBT/queer activists in the United States and Canada. The research is supported by a Wenner-Gren Post-Ph.D. Research Grant, Osmundsen Initiative Award, and CLAGS Joan Heller-Diane Bernard Senior Fellowship in Lesbian and Gay Studies. She has published essays on the politics of BDSM media visibility; on labor, leisure, and commodified sexuality; on the performative effects of BDSM interrogation scenes and the Abu Ghraib photographs; on neoliberalism, homonormativity, and new queer activisms; on methods in queer anthropology; and on left intellectuals and activism in the neoliberal university.</p>
