Labour Organizations and Sexuality
Socialism and Sexuality Series Labour Organizations and Sexuality This session will deal with the positions of labour organizations (trade unions, political parties) on sexuality, in the western world, from the last years of the XIXth century to the 1970s. Case studies will help to understand the role of sexuality in the projects of progressist movements. When is this question central, when is it not? Can discourses on sexuality express social contestation? Are they different from the discourses of the upper classes ? What about discrepancy between the discourses and the practices? What about conflicts inside organizations themselves (leaders-militants-intellectuals-young people, women)? Timetable Please notice : papers and debates in English.
