“This book is required reading for any student entering the terrain of Foucauldian sexuality studies and for any scholar already engaged with the intricacies of Michel Foucault’s work… Overall, this volume makes an important contribution to the academic debates and provides a timely reminder of context-specific, institutional definitions of sexuality and an individual’s or community’s power to support or challenge them.” · German Studies Review “The ability to go back to and beyond Foucault seems to be genuinely liberating [as shown] in this excellent collection of essays—ranging in period from the medieval to the twentieth century…This new focus on resistance as well as on discipline, and on milieux as well as on discourses, is highly refreshing. The authors are to be commended for their bold and self-critical venture. They open up the possibility of a less reverential, but more complex and insightful assessment of Foucault’s work. It is pleasing to see German historiography at the head of this exciting new trend.” · German History “This is an important collection of essays, many of them very original and outstanding, that will further the field of history of sexuality in general and will contribute to the German historiography in particular.” · Lutz Sauerteig, University of Durham "This volume provides a thought provoking and thorough engagement with various aspects of Foucault’s writing, at once paying homage to core themes in the history of German sexuality and charting a course for future research…The organization, structure, and coherence of each section is very strong…Most intriguing is its blend of approaches and blurring of time, distance (the Atlantic divide in scholarship, that is), and disciplinarity." · Jennifer Evans, Carleton University
