Changing norms of older men’s sexuality in the sexological discourse during Czechoslovak socialism: Dementia as an interpretative lens to make sense of sexual expressions in later life
This article examines the development of medical (primarily sexological) knowledge about older men’s sexuality during Czechoslovak socialism. Analysing medical and criminological journals, sexological textbooks and popular-science publications, and inspired by Ian Hacking’s theory of making up people (1995), we track how Czechoslovak experts created new kinds of older people. We show that the founder of Czechoslovak sexology, Josef Hynie, impleme…
Dark Corners”: Child Sex Murder, Forensic Expertise, and Protective Treatment in Socialist Czechoslovakia
In 1966, the sexual murder of an eleven-year-old in Prague occupied the media and broader public, reinforcing expert debates about child sex offenders. In this article, we trace changes in medical experts’ understanding of child sex offenders in socialist Czechoslovakia between the late 1950s and mid-1970s. We show that psychiatrists and sexologists discussed forensic evaluation and the need for specialized treatment years before the 1966 case, b…
Aging women as sexual beings. Expertise between the 1950s and 1970s in state socialist Czechoslovakia
The paper examines the changes during state socialism in Czechoslovakia in the understanding of the post-reproductive sexuality of women, focusing on the network of medical experts and shifts in expertise, which gave rise to a ‘new kind of person’: sexually active climacteric women. Analyzing the medical press, we show how Czechoslovak experts moved from an exclusive focus on women of reproductive age toward seeing climacteric women first in conn…
It's Raining, Grandpa, Let's Go Out! So We Went.' Grandfathering as an Essential Role for Older Men
The study examines the experiences of contemporary older Czech men specifically in their role as grandfathers. Despite the great body of research devoted to the issues of grandparenthood, most attention, both locally and internationally, has been given to women and grandmotherhood. To overcome this shortcoming, we present findings based on eleven qualitative interviews conducted with men with diverse grandparenting experiences and performing vari…
