Histories of Sexology (eBook, PDF)

Between Science and Politics

Redaktion: Giami, Alain; Levinson, Sharman

Beschreibung

¿Histories of Sexology: Between Science and Politics takes an interdisciplinary and reflexive approach to the historiography of sexology. Drawing on an intellectual history perspective informed by recent developments in science and technology studies and political history of science, this book examines specific social, cultural, intellectual, scientific and political contexts that have given shape to theories of sexuality, but also to practices in medicine, psychology, education and sexology. Furthermore, it explores various ways that theories of sexuality have both informed and been produced by sexologies-as scientific and clinical discourses about sex-in Western countries since the 19th century.

Rezensionen

The range and depth of the included articles make Histories of Sexology a useful volume both for those already actively engaged with the history of sexual science and for scholars interested in broader population, gender, race, demographic, and cultural and social histories.
