Description
In the first volume of the History of Sexuality, Foucault presents the Repressive Hypthesis, which argues that people struggle to liberate themselves from the imposition of silence and tight sexual morals that were taught by Victorian ancestors. Foucualt argues that sexuality is a social construct, and is constructed through knowledge production about sexuality in historical institutions. This item is available as a PDF here: http://home.ku.edu.tr/~mbaker/CSHS503/FoucaultHistorySex.pdf
