Abstract

The history of sexology is a well-established field of scholarly investigation animated by ongoing contestations around the disciplinary boundaries, political outlook, and transnational dimensions of the sexological field. This special issue focuses on the multivalent concept of development to address some of the most pressing questions driving current historiographical conversations in this area. The five articles examine how sexology developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries and explore how sexologists deployed various developmental categories to understand sexuality in different national, geographical, and linguistic spaces, including India, Latin America, and Western and Southern Europe. They show how central tracing the relationship between sexuality and human development became to sexologists’ understanding of their project and its value. By interrogating the intersecting individual, social, cultural, and evolutionary developmental frameworks at the heart of sexological knowledge production, the articles engage with sexology as a global and transnational project deeply shaped by ideologies of race, nation, and empire and motivated by a diverse range of political concerns and intellectual questions. In so doing, the special issue as a whole demonstrates the breadth of the sexological field in terms of its interdisciplinary scope, diverse political and intellectual agendas, and global dimensions.

性学与发展
性学的历史是一个建立良好的学术研究领域,围绕性学领域的学科界限、政治前景和跨国维度的持续争论激发了性学研究的活力。本期特刊聚焦于发展的多重价值概念,以解决当前推动这一领域史学对话的一些最紧迫的问题。这五篇文章考察了性学在19世纪末和20世纪是如何发展的,并探讨了性学家如何在不同的国家、地理和语言空间(包括印度、拉丁美洲、西欧和南欧)部署各种发展类别来理解性。他们展示了追踪性与人类发展之间的关系是如何成为性学家对他们的项目及其价值的理解的核心。通过探究性学知识生产核心的个人、社会、文化和进化发展框架,文章将性学作为一项全球性和跨国项目进行探讨,该项目深受种族、国家和帝国意识形态的影响,并受到各种政治关切和智力问题的推动。在这样做的过程中,这个特刊作为一个整体展示了性学领域在跨学科范围、多样化的政治和智力议程以及全球维度方面的广度。
