Title: | Sexuality, youth and the perils of endangered innocence: how history can help us get past the panic | Contributor(s): | Egan, R Danielle (author); Hawkes, Gail (author) | Publication Date: | 2012 | DOI: | 10.1080/09540253.2012.666232 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/14286 | Abstract: | Popular discourses on the problem of sexualisation are beset by emotively charged rhetoric that all-too-often promotes a visceral and affective response as opposed to reasoned and nuanced examination. Drawing on materials from the Social Purity Movement (1860-1910) as well as contemporary anti-sexualisation literature, this article argues that a historical-situated perspective may help authors, activists and advocates offer a more reflexive perspective on 'the problem of sexualisation'. We forward a historically informed discourse analysis to render visible the longstanding, and deeply problematic, assumptions of childhood, gender and class at work in current concerns on sexualisation. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Gender and Education, 24(3), p. 269-284 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1360-0516 0954-0253 |
