The Politics of Love: Sex Reformers and the Nonhuman
by Carla Christina HustakThe Politics of Love explores the entanglement of emotions, social movements, and science in reconfiguring human and nonhuman relations. As Darwin's evolutionary theory informed the development of sexual science and the sex reform movement between the 1890s and the 1920s, sex reformers emerged as a group of diverse and culturally influential professionals—doctors, psychologists, artists, political activists, novelists, and academics—who shared a profound commitment to changing the world by changing the practice of sex. Sex reformers reinvented love as a scientific practice of sex that brought humans and nonhumans into the fold of early-twentieth-century racial, gender, and sexual politics. Carla Christina Hustak illuminates how sex reformers' insistence that love can shift human and nonhuman relations is more than just a historical narrative—it is a moment in time interconnected with urgent contemporary concerns over the global implications of our emotional relationships to other humans, animals, the earth, and atmospheric and technological forces.

Uno tras otro, los cadáveres de mujeres rubias y de complexión ligera aparecen estrangulados en distintos puntos de la ciudad. Ninguna de ellas presenta signos de violencia. El arma homicida siempre es la misma, una prenda marcada con una cruz. Sobre los cuerpos, una nota: «Su pecado le es perdonado». Ningún otro vínculo parece relacionar las distintas muertes. Sin más pistas a las que aferrarse, Ben Paris no tiene más remedio que colaborar con la distante y prestigiosa psiquiatra Tess Court, quien no tarda en trazar el perturbador perfil de un alma torturada. Pero al mujeriego y atormentado detective le cuesta concentrarse. Está distraído por esa mujer tan fría y calculadora que no para de desafiarle con sus ridículas teorías. No podrían ser más incompatibles y, sin embargo, ninguno de los dos puede evitar embarcarse en un peligroso juego de atracción y deseo que les impedirá ver lo que resulta evidente: Tess es rubia, Tess es frágil, y su nombre aparece en la lista de un hombre que solo tiene una misión: salvarla de sus pecados.
