BEING AND BEING BOUGHT: PROSTITUTION, SURROGACY AND THE SPLIT SELF
Book ID/图书代码： 06564014B70080
English Summary/英文概要： In 1998, Sweden passed ground-breaking legislation criminalizing the purchase of sexual services which sought to curb demand and support women exiting the sex industry. Grounded in the reality of the violence and abuse inherent in prostitution-and reeling from the death of a friend to prostitution in Spain-Kajsa Ekis Ekman exposes the many lies in the ’sex work’ scenario. Trade unions aren’t trade unions. Groups for prostituted women are simultaneously groups for brothel owners. And prostitution is always presented from a woman’s point of view. The men who buy sex are left out. Drawing on Marxist and feminist analyses, Ekis Ekman argues that the Self must be split from the body to make it possible to sell your body without selling yourself. The body becomes sex. Sex becomes a service. The story of the sex worker says: the Split Self is not only possible, it is the ideal. Turning to the practice of surrogate motherhood, Kajsa Ekis Ekman identifies the same components: that the woman is neither connected to her own body nor to the child she grows in her body and gives birth to. Surrogacy becomes an extended form of prostitution. In this capitalist creation story, the parent is the one who pays. The product sold is not sex but a baby. Ekis Ekman asks: why should this not be called child trafficking? This brilliant exposé is written with a razor-sharp intellect and disarming wit and will make us look at prostitution and surrogacy and the parallels between them in a new way.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1998年，瑞典通过了突破性的立法判定性服务有罪，试图抑制需求和支持妇女退出性产业。受在西班牙卖淫的一位朋友的死亡的影响，凯萨•艾克斯•埃克曼起底了暴力的现实和卖淫业的虐待，揭示了许多“性工作”的谎言。工会并不是工会。卖淫团队的妇女同时也是妓院老板自己的“后宫”。卖淫总是以一个女人的角度呈现。嫖娼的男人都离开了。借鉴马克思主义和女权主义的分析，艾克斯•埃克曼认为要想只出卖身体不出卖灵魂必须将自我从身体里抽离开来。身体变得性感。性成为一种服务。性工作者的故事讲述了：分离自我不仅是可能的而且可以是理想的。当谈到代孕的做法，艾克斯•埃克曼有相同的想法：女人既没有和自己的身体连接起来也没有和肚子里的孩子连接起来。代孕成为卖淫的一种扩展形式。在这个资本主义创造的世界里，有钱的人是孩子的父母。销售的产品是不是性而是婴儿。艾克斯•埃克曼问道：为什么这个不能叫拐卖儿童？这本用锐利的智慧和让人消气的机智所写就的揭露是辉煌的，它将以一种新的方式让我们看看卖淫和代孕和之间的相似之处。(LNL)

《现实的存在》不仅给出了卖淫和代孕行业的精辟写照，还有为她们辩解的论证，凯萨•艾克斯•埃克曼巧妙和全面地细化了这些论证。她的工作是充满着对一些遭蹂躏妇女和女孩的世界的人性和同情。——劳拉•菲茨杰拉德，爱尔兰社会主义党，SocialistParty.net
"A riveting analysis of prostitution and surrogacy that shatters the great wall of lies about these two institutions. Brilliantly analysing the parallels, Kajsa Ekis Ekman wages a multi-pronged attack on sexism ad classism that leaves the reader with hope for change. If you’ve ever wondered how to respond to those who say there are no victims in prostitution or what to say when someone proposes surrogacy as a solution to childlessness—this book is a must-read." —Melissa Farley, executive director, Prostitution Research & Education
"Being and Being Bought gives an incisive portrayal, not only of the sex and surrogacy industries, but also of the arguments used to justify them both, arguments that Kajsa Ekis Ekman skillfully and comprehensively pulverizes. Her work is overflowing with humanity and empathy for some of the most downtrodden women and girls in the world." —Laura Fitzgerald, Irish Socialist Party, SocialistParty.net
