"This text examines the phenomenon of non-trafficked women who choose to migrate from one global city to another to perform paid sexual labour in Southeast Asia. Christine B.N. Chin offers an innovative theoretical framework termed '3C' (city creativity, and cosmopolitanism) to analyze how factors at the local, state, and individual levels work together to shape women's ability and desire to migrate to perform sex work." . . . . . . "Cosmopolitan sew workers : women and migration in a global city" . . . . . . . "\"Cosmopolitan Sex Workers is a groundbreaking look into the phenomenon of non-trafficked women who migrate from one global city to another to perform paid sexual labor in Southeast Asia. Through a new, innovative framework, Christine B.N. Chin shows that as neoliberal economic restructuring processes create pathways connecting major cities throughout the world, competition and collaboration between cities creates new avenues for the movement of people, services and goods. Loosely organized networks of migrant labor grow in tandem with professional-managerial classes, and sex workers migrate to different parts of cities, depending on the location of the clientele to which they cater. But while global cities create economic opportunities for migrants (and depend on the labor they provide), states react with new forms of securitization and surveillance. As a result, migrants must negotiate between appropriating and subverting the ideas that inform global economic restructuring. Chin argues that migration allows women to develop intercultural skills that help them to make these negotiations. Cosmopolitan Sex Workers is innovative not only in its focus on non-trafficked women, but in its analysis of the complex relationship between global economic processes and migration for sex work. Through fascinating interviews with sex workers in Kuala Lumpur, Chin shows that sex work can provide women with the means of earning income for families, for education, and even for their own businesses. It also allows women the means to travel the world - a form of cosmopolitanism \"from below.\"\"--Publisher's website." . "Étude de cas (Descripteur de forme)" . . .
