Lecture | Teaching Sex - De/Constructing Bodies, Categories & Norms: Feminist Sex Shops in the US & Sweden


With Nina Lykke, Gender Studies, Linköping University. This presentation will be based on a project on alternative sex education, and focus on one of the case studies: feminist sex shops and feminist/women/queer-owned companies that produce sex-toys and other sexual items (films, books etc) in US and Sweden. The idea is to compare the selling and producing of sex-toys and sexual items in feminist/women/queer-friendly contexts in the US and Sweden. A case study will be used to discuss de/construction of bodies and norms in alternative sex education, and if and how feminist, queer and anti-racist perspectives on constructions of bodies and norms manage to displace the normativizing power of traditional sexological categories in the teaching of sex. Does sex education practices emerging out of queer, feminist and anti-racist movements manage to challenge/deconstruct/resignify sexological categories and configure sexual bodies in new and alternative ways?
