Sex: how should we do it, when should we do it, and with whom? How
should we talk about and represent sex, what social institutions
should regulate it, and what are other people doing? Throughout
history human beings have searched for answers to such questions by
turning to the past, whether through archaeological studies of
prehistoric sexual behaviour, by reading Casanova's memoirs, or as
modern visitors on the British Museum LGBT trail. In this
ground-breaking collection, leading scholars show that claims about
the past have been crucial in articulating sexual morals, driving
political, legal, and social change, shaping individual identities,
and constructing and grounding knowledge about sex. With its
interdisciplinary perspective and its focus on the construction of
knowledge, the volume explores key methodological problems in the
history of sexuality, and is also an inspiration and a provocation
to scholars working in related fields - historians, classicists,
Egyptologists, and scholars of the Renaissance and of LGBT and
gender studies - inviting them to join a much-needed
interdisciplinary conversation.
