2011 Essay Editorial note
Sense & Shibari: A Sociological Re-evaluation of the Knowledge of Rope Bondage
Language English
Hedwig's undergraduate dissertation uses participant observation and interviews to examine how rope practitioners understand touch, movement, communication and shared experience.
Editorial note
A qualitative study of practitioners' own meanings rather than a technical manual. The author uses a small, purposively selected sample and protects participants' identities, so its findings should not be presented as universal or medical evidence.
