How does one know a whore is a whore? Upon what terms, standards, interpretive logics, and material practices does such knowledge depend? This book pursues these questions and, in so doing, discovers the extraordinary cultural labor necessary to produce and sustain the fiction of the "whore" as a readily apprehensible category of sexual knowledge.
