Shaped by competing currents of religious dogma, atheist materialism and bourgeois morality, eighteenth-century France marked the beginning of what Michel Foucault called ‘une fermentation discursive’ on matters related to sex. But when we consult the educational theorists or \u003cem\u003ephilosophes\u003c\/em\u003e of the time for their opinions on preparing a young person for life as a sexual being, we are met with a telling silence. Did an Enlightenment era that dared to make sex an object of discourse also dare to make it an object of pedagogy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSex education in eighteenth-century France\u003c\/em\u003e brings together specialists from a range of disciplines to address these issues. Using a wide variety of literary, historical, religious and pedagogical sources, contributors explore for the first time the nexus between sex and instruction. Although these two categories were \u003cem\u003epublicly \u003c\/em\u003ekept distinct, writers were effectively shaping attitudes and behaviours. Unraveling the complex system of rules and codes through which knowledge about sex was communicated, contributors uncover a new dimension in the practice of education in the eighteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40877517111393,"sku":"9780729410168","price":129.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_30105926.jpg?v=1726731996","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780729410168-sex-education-in-eighteenth","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
