Section Title:
History of Sexuality
Section Info:
Examination of the historical contexts in which sexuality has been debated during the past three centuries, and to what extent sexuality is perceived differently in diverse cultures. Part one will look at the Western tradition, especially Germany. Part two shifts to the non-Western world, especially to the colonial history of Indonesia. In this class, we challenge the view that sex and sexuality are phenomena that have remained the same over time and all over the world. Instead we investigate to what extent sexuality is perceived differently in diverse cultures. Our thinking about sexuality is very much part of the culture in which we grow up. Readings and discussions in English. Occasional film screenings.
