Histories of female sexuality from the 16th to the 20th century - Detailseite

This course offers an introduction to the history of gender and sexuality through the lens of female sexuality and with a view towards the 'longue durée'. The regional focus will be on Europe (including colonial and imperial histories) and North America from the early modern period to present days. In terms of methods, we will approach the field of the history of (female) sexuality from different angles, including discourse analysis, the history of everyday life and legal history. Case studies will focus on a variety of manifestations of, legal and political approaches to as well as discourses on female sexuality, incl. those focusing on marriage, non-normative sexuality (homosexuality, prostitution, etc.), reproduction, sexual violence, transsexuality, sexuality and religion, sexuality and the women's movements.
