"Covering antiquity to the present, this collection of seventeen provocative articles examines various aspects of sexology, the allegedly scientific study of sex....this volume includes the work of a few authors who have more training in the medical sciences than in history. The insight of such authors is valuable..." Journal of Interdisciplinary History "Although most of the essays are extremely serious in tone, McLaren, Schiebinger, and Porter spice their analyses with a welcome touch of humor. Altogether, this volume will seduce any reader who is intrigued by the history of sexuality." American Historical Review
Sexual Knowledge, Sexual Science explores attempts to develop bodies of knowledge about sex from antiquity to the present day. Taking into account cognate sciences like zoology, anatomy, embryology and psychiatry, the volume analyses the shaping over the centuries of disciplines which came by 1900 to be called 'sexology'. Various contributions explore the interfaces between 'high' and 'low' sexual teachings, and the connections and tensions between popular and empirical sexual knowledge on the one hand and overtly scientific formulations. A major concern of the book is to investigate the ideological functions - in terms of group, class and gender - of sexual science, especially when incorporated into systems of legal, medical and political power. Among sexual liberals and radicals it has long been an article of faith that sexual science, sexual liberation and sexual fulfilment will all advance hand-in-hand. With the modern backlash against permissiveness, and against the background of AIDS, such views are being challenged. This new book offers an historical perspective upon such questions.
