Contributors to this special issue study the visual histories of
sex by examining symbols, images, film, and other visual forms
ranging from medieval religious icons to twenty-first-century
selfies. They argue that engaging BIPOC, antiracist, queer, and
feminist perspectives of the past is vital to understanding the
complex historical relationships between sex and visual culture and
how these relationships continue to shape sexual lives, bodies,
myths, and desires. Essay topics include trans visual archives in
Francoist Spain, a visual archive of British escort and nightclub
hostess Ruth Ellis, pornography and queer pleasure in East Germany,
swimsuit advertisements and "bikini blondes" in the age of the atom
bomb, and teaching the history of sexuality with images. This issue
also contains a roundtable on curating exhibitions devoted to sex
and to queer and trans experience; conversations with historians,
artists, and curators who study visual culture and the history of
sexuality; and an exploration of the photographic archives of Carol
Leigh, a.k.a. Scarlot Harlot. Contributors. Heike Bauer, Roland
