Among Foucault's most... «Poststructuralism: A Very Short Introduction»
innashpitzberg2 сентября 2012Among Foucault's most influential propositions was the argument put forward in the first volume of The History of Sexuality that homosexuality did not exist until the 19th century.
But surely the Greeks practised homosexuality? Not exactly, Foucault would reply. Certainly, men had sexual relations with boys or men, just as they have done in many other cultures. But they were not in consequence classified as homosexuals, invested with a subjectivity that was seen as the origin of their sexual practices, and regarded as deviant or perverse. The Greeks did not consider themselves in any way defined by their sexual habits.
