            <summary type="html"><![CDATA[Historically associated with immorality and criminality,
prostitution is still, nowadays, the object of moral crusades which
maintain its stigmatisation. Confronting this stigma, male and
female sex workers either push it away onto others or reject it
altogether. Even though the degrading nature of the activity has
been said to be the product of an alienation of sexuality which
thus alienates identity, and that research studies make this a
basic premise, the analysis of sex work practices indicates that it
would not be the case. Te existing link between sexuality and
identity is not inherent, but rather the product of a social
construction aiming at controlling sexuality.]]></summary>

boys and their clients, this article shows how the Internet both
lengthens and recomposes the time factor in prostitution. It
discusses how this “extra time” creates a space where functional
exchanges underpin relationships that are based on mutual
understanding and recognition. These practices help to neutralise
of the stigma surrounding the sale and purchase of sexual services.
At the same time, they demonstrate the unique and unexpected
“anthropological depth” that characterises escorting.]]></summary>

            <summary type="html"><![CDATA[The figure of the foreign woman in prostitution For over a century,
international treaties have been working towards establishing a
correlation between trading and selling of sexual services, and
using the figure of “foreign woman” in order to bring about a
metamorphosis of the notion of prostitution. Far from protecting
prostitutes against violence, in France, the proposals of the major
alter-globalist, feminist or left-wing associations in fact
contribute to an erosion of both their common and specific rights,
and lock them into a situation of stigmatization. The arrival on
the streets of young women from Eastern or Central Europe following
the disintegration of the old Soviet bloc, in the second half of
the 1990s, has especially reawakened controversy. Prostitutes are
caught up in the category of victim, which prevents them from being
regarded as women who, by means of prostitution, albeit often
forced upon them, are seeking individually if not collectively to
gain their autonomy.]]></summary>

by the specificities of a female migration that is predominantly
forced into street prostitution. The many challenges and trauma
encountered in their life journeys, as well as the extremely
difficult living conditions in Europe, affect the image, the
function and even the very idea of the couple, thus transforming
norms and practices associated with conjugal life. Based upon
ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Nigeria and in France, in
collaboration with the women concerned, this article explores their
family and love lives, while considering their transnational
dimension. Crossing data collected in different places allows a
better understanding of what characterises these couples, often
perceived as withdrawn within their own community, which is
actually less a matter of conscious choice than of exclusion and
poverty.]]></summary>

prostitution in Martinique. The presence of thousands of sailors
from the French metropole, stuck in Fort-de-France following a
blockade that isolated the island for three years, ushered the
adoption of new prostitution policies in the port city. ‪

<!--  Début du contenu @xml:lang="en"  -->‪These measures aspired
to control intimate relations across racial boundaries, in a
colonial setting where French citizenship had been extended to all
individuals after the abolition of slavery. Their adaptation to
local sexual practices, however, burdened a great number of mainly
nonwhite, working-class women, regardless of their involvement in
the sex industry—thus revealing the elasticity of the category
“prostitute” during the war. Many of these women nonetheless
managed to evade attempts to control their body; their actions
pointed to the limits of the established system.‪

with a new area of the sex industry&#160;: online escorting or
prostitution. It looks into the relatively unheard of phenomenon of
young men who offer sexual services to men in return for payment.
These young men, generally from upper socio-economic backgrounds,
practice an unusual type of prostitution, involving a sorting
process that leads to a social pairing with clients. Under these
circumstances the symbolic relationship between client and
prostitute is reversed.]]></summary>

            <summary type="html"><![CDATA[Abstract Gail Pheterson maintains that the “stigma” attaching to
the prostitute is, like anti-prostitution legislation, an
instrument of sexist control affecting all women – whether
prostitutes or not – who transgress “discriminatory gender codes”.
However, while this control is applied to women in general, and not
simply to those who are prostitutes, the concept of “stigma” does
not suffice to provide a comprehensive picture of the specific
nature of the historical process of domination affecting
prostitutes, who are viewed as forming a class apart within the
group formed by women in general. The genealogy of the figure of
the prostitute illustrates how, at least since the classical age,
medicine has defined – and even constructed – a singular body, a
sterile organism, physiologically peculiar to the prostitute and
incorporating all of the features and characteristics of virility.
If whores are men like everyone, prostitution can be viewed as
forming a domain for homosociality, as distinct from that of
conjugality and filiation. In that case, rather than transgressing
the laws of gender, the virile freedom of the prostitute, which is
born of a gender mutation and plays on and with sexual identities,
is purely the result of a power game.]]></summary>
