Klappentext
Talking about toilets--in all their material, social, symbolic and discursive complexity

Zusammenfassung
Public toilets provide an opportunity for interrogating how conventional assumptions about the body, sexuality, privacy, and technology are formed in public spaces and inscribed through design across cultures. This collection also explores the cultural meanings, histories, and ideologies of public toilets as gendered spaces.
