Introduction: Global Intimate Economies - Discontents and Debates -- Part I: Commodifying Affects, Emotions and Selves -- 1 The "Authentic Cybertariat"? Commodifying Feeling, Accents and Cultural Identities in the Global South -- 2 Regulating Sexy Subjects: The Case of Brazilian Fashion Retail and its Affective Workforce -- 3 Emotional Labor and Ethical Practice: Professionalism Among Sex Workers in Tijuana -- Part II: Sexualized Bodies on the Market -- 4 A Feast of Men: Sexuality, Kinship and Predation in the Practices of Female Prostitution in Downtown Porto Alegre -- 5 Neoliberalism, Oil Wealth and Migrant Sex Work in the Chadian City of N'Djamena -- 6 The Use of "life-enabling" Practices Among waria: Vulnerability, Subsistence and Identity in Contemporary Yogyakarta -- Part III: Global Reproductive Commerce -- 7 Gestational Labors: Care Politics and Surrogates' Struggle -- 8 Surrogate Mothers and Gay Fathers: Navigating the Commercial Surrogacy Arrangement in India -- 9 Families on the Market Front.

This book illustrates how intimate workers in different socio-cultural contexts negotiate the commercial uses of their sexuality, identity, affect, and bodies, thereby often defying inequality, impoverishment, and resource depletion in their regions. The studies shed light on the multi-faceted experiences of subjects involved in intimate economies, oscillating between personal empowerment and agency, as well as the required subjection to the demands of the current market regime, entailing participation in precarious employment, often involving bodily risk, economic exploitation and stigmatization. The contributions demonstrate the interrelatedness of market intimacy, family economies, and transnational care arrangements, and thereby challenge Western notions of the subject and the free market.
