Los historiadores y la prostitución. Un balance historiográfico relativo a la etapa contemporánea

Abstract

Prostitution has historically generated, and generates, a huge amount of debates around its organization and regulation. However, different historical researches have not paid special attention to it, leaving this field to the historians of law and medicine in many occasions. In recent years, in addition to the pioneering studies of Jean Louis Guerena, the trend seems to be reversing and giving sexuality, and with it prostitution, a crucial role.
