In this volume, the concept of sexuality can be defined as a perverse two-faced Janus, and its objective to explore the multiple dimensions of sexuality and its expressions through the interdisciplinary study of different social contexts, without the imposition of censorship. This will be achieved through: an investigation into the role of language and the body as research tools, as proposed by carnal sociology; an exploration of the intricate relationship between language, sexuality and the mediatisation of the latter; and a focus on how these elements intertwine to shape our understanding of sexual narratives, sexual health, sexual positivity and sexual identities. The rationale for this volume is rooted in its commitment to exploring how communication operates at the intersection of the physical and the linguistic, a dynamic present in both translation and ethnography. The focus on (sexual) communication, as reflected in the title, serves as the thematic anchor for the volume. Each chapter, whether addressing issues in translation or ethnography, contributes to a broader investigation of how meaning is created, interpreted, and mediated within and across cultural and sensory boundaries. By emphasising this shared conceptual terrain, the volume maintains its interdisciplinary scope while adopting a cohesive narrative that ties together the diverse perspectives offered by its contributors.
