Product Description

Review

"Sexual Antipodes is a daring and necessary addition to the present work on sexuality. Its highly original contribution to current concerns with globalization and colonialism, centers and margins, public and private is conveyed through a thoroughly comparative study of sexuality and its representations in eighteenth-century France and England." - Robert Folkenflik, University of California, Irvine


Product Description

"Sexual Antipodes" is about how Enlightenment print culture built modern national and racial identity out of images of sexual order and disorder in public life. It examines British and French popular journalism, utopian fiction and travel accounts about South Sea encounters, pamphlet literature and pornography, as well as more literary sources on the 18th century, such as the novel and philosophical essays and tales. The title refers to a premise in utopian and exoticist fiction about the southern portion of the globe: sexual order defines the character of the state. The book begins by examining how the idea of sexual order operated as the principle for explaining national differences in 18th-century contestation between Britain and France. It then traces how, following British and French encounters with Tahiti, the comparison of different national sexual orders formed the basis for two theories of race: race as essential character and race as degeneration.
