Michel Foucault: History Of Sexuality

A look back at Michel Foucaults work History Of Sexuality, 1976.  History Of Sexuality explores and analyzes how sexuality shaped, was studied, was watched, was examined after the industrial revolution and the rise of capitalism. Why did the amount sexual discourses explode? What kind of forces and institutions agitated towards those discourses? Why are we obsessed with sexuality to a point, where it holds the same value that the ancient greek philosophers perceived the soul to have? How is sexuality related to our societies structures and related to its well-being? What is biopower, scientia sexualis or biopolitics?   


"What is peculiar to modern societies is not that they consigned sex to shadow existence, but that they dedicated themselves to speaking of it ad infinitum, while exploiting it as the secret."
