By means of an ethnographic project, Sarah Goode's Understanding and Addressing Adult Sexual Attraction to Children aspires to better understand the self-conception and self-identification of pedophiles, with the ultimate aim of deconstructing the phenomenon by which culture demonizes pedophiles in order to better protect children. However, the approach adopted by Goode places age and age relations under a totalizing neurophysiological paradigm, marking a problematic theoretical turn under which queer youth are potentially denied the opportunity of expressing a legitimate voice in their own lived experiences.
