Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Each essay draws on an impressive array of secondary sources and the authors own primary research to highlight how the discourses and practices of sexuality that most people take for granted are in fact expressions of global, socially constructed, and historically contingent patterns. (H-Histsex, March 2015)

Reseña del editor:

A Global History of Sexuality provides a provocative, wide-ranging introduction to the history of sexuality from the late eighteenth century to the present day. * Explores what sexuality has meant in the everyday lives of individuals over the last 200 years * Organized around four major themes: the formation of sexual identity, the regulation of sexuality by societal norms, the regulation of sexuality by institutions, and the intersection of sexuality with globalization * Examines the topic from a comparative, global perspective, with well-chosen case studies to illuminate the broader themes * Includes interdisciplinary contributions from prominent historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and sexuality studies scholars * Introduces important theoretical concepts in a clear, accessible way
