Health area of focus: None.
Objective: To explores how local people in a province in southern Thailand perceive the practice of male and female genital cutting
Study Population: Men and women
Findings: Discourses on the exposure or concealment of male and female bodies,respectively,witness to the relevance of both the local political-historical context and biomedical hegemony to gendered bodies. The comparisons evince the need to reflect upon the theoretical and ethical implications of studying genital cutting and focusing exclusively on one of the two practices rather than,as this paper claims to be necessary,considering them as inextricably connected.
