HISTORIES OF SEXUALITY: GENDER, POWER, PLEASURE AND THE BODY
HIS2SCS
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject students examine histories of sexualities. We consider changing meanings assigned to sexed and gendered bodies and sexual behaviour and the emergence of sexual and gender categories and identities. We explore how the sexual and gendered body has been subject to social control and regulation. How did the state regulate sexuality and gender diversity? Why were some forms of sexuality and gender behaviour criminalized? What generated moral panics over sexuality? What role did the press play in sex scandals? We consider marriage, birth control, gendered sexual violence, influence of sexology and sexual reformers and nationalism, race and sexuality. We examine the formation of sexual sub-cultures and sexual liberation movements to current LGBTIQA politics and culture. Through analysing sexuality debates we examine shifting notions of transgression and deviance and explore sexuality, gender, power and resistance and the transformation of sexual cultures, ideas and practices.
