The Cambridge World History of Sexualities
Volume IV examines the intersections of modernity and human sexuality through the forces, ideas, and events that have shaped the modern world. Through eighteen chapters, this volume examines connections between sexuality and the defining forces of modern global history including capitalism, colonialism, migration, consumerism, and war; sexuality in modern literature and print media; sexuality in dictatorships and democracies; and cultural changes…
Between Marx and Coca-Cola: Youth Cultures in Changing European Societies, 1960-1980
In the 1960s and 1970s, Western Europe's "Golden Age" (Eric Hobsbawm), a new youth consciousness emerged, which gave this period its distinctive character. Offering rich and new material, this volume moves beyond the easy conflation of youth culture and "Americanization" and instead sets out to show, for the first time, how international developments fused with national traditions to produce specific youth cultures that became the leading trendse…
Die Politisierung der Lust: Sexualität in der deutschen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts
Politik und Sexualität sind von jeher eng verknüpft. Debatten über Sexualmoral dienten im Deutschland des 20. Jahrhunderts immer auch der Aushandlung von politischen Prozessen, vor allem der Auseinandersetzung mit Schuld und Erinnerung in der Nachkriegszeit. Dagmar Herzog arbeitet die zentrale Bedeutung von Sexualität für das Verständnis historischer Entwicklungen heraus. Sie zeichnet die Sexualgeschichte Deutschlands von der Zeit des Nationalsoz…

Fascisms and Their Afterli(v)es: An Introduction
Fascisms and Their Afterli(v)es:An Introduction Dagmar Herzog and Stefanos Geroulanos What ideological "befogging," asked the iconoclast Marxist Freudian Wilhelm Reich in The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933), convinced the impoverished, disempowered masses to find in fascism the answer to their discontent? The only explanation could be, he suggested, that fascism addressed human selves already riven by impulses of insurgence and compliance.1 In …
Queering Freud Differently: Radical Psychoanalysis and Ethnography in the 1970s–1980s
This introduction to the special issue recovering two pioneering anti-homophobic Freudian psychoanalysts of the 1970s–1980s – the Los Angelean Robert J. Stoller and the Zurich-based Fritz Morgenthaler – situates their contributions in the triple contexts of the history of psychoanalytic theorizing about homosexuality; both men's work at the border of ethnography, including (in both cases) in Papua New Guinea; and the shifting stakes caused by the…
Feminismus und Sexualpolitik: Die #MeToo-Bewegung und ihre Kritiker_innen
Dieser Aufsatz zieht eine Bilanz der ersten zwei Jahre der Debatten rund um die #MeToo-Bewegung in den USA. Die Autorin dokumentiert viele Erfolge der Bewegung – bezüglich der Sensibilisierung der Öffentlichkeit und Entwicklung von Solidaritäten, der Strafverfolgung von Tätern oder dem Erzwingen ihres beruflichen Rücktritts, sowie der Änderung von Gesetzen und Richtlinien. Der Aufsatz untersucht aber auch die Bedenken vieler sexpositiver feminist…
Follow the Money: Zur Lage der Behindertenrechte in den USA
The first months of the COVID-19 pandemic have confronted the disability community with profound challenges. Thirty years after the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed, Americans with disabilities have achieved extraordinary gains in reducing prejudices and acquiring broad public visibility and respect; these gains were evident in activists’ early success in formally securing rights to equitable medical treatment. Yet, faced with the task …
Narcissism Post-Nazism
This paper places the reception of Heinz Kohut and his ideas about narcissism in the German-speaking lands in the 1970s–1980s in multiple contexts. First, there was the difficulty of returning psychoanalysis to post-Nazi West Germany and Austria, lands in which psychoanalysis had been furiously derided as sex-obsessed, “filthy,” and “Jewish.” Ironically, it was to be an ex-Nazi – animal behavior specialist Konrad Lorenz, author of On Aggression –…
All Is Not Sexuality That Looks Like It
I am grateful for the observations of these five wonderful and thought-provoking interlocutors: Camille Robcis, Todd Shepard, Suzanne Stewart-Steinberg, Regina Kunzel, and Michal Shapira. They have prompted me to read a whole range of clarifying texts—from Jacques Derrida's reflections on Friedrich Nietzsche to the work of classicist James Davidson on Michel Foucault and George Devereux (as well as more writings by Devereux) to historian Chris Wa…
John Forrester (1949-2015): An Appreciation
The first Forrester essay I ever read was his fabulous dissection of and homage to the 1970s work on sexual excitement by the magnificently creative and sorely underappreciated Los Angeles psychoanalyst Robert Stoller. The essay, published in 2007, had all the hallmarks of what I came to see, in the years since, as distinctive features of Forrester’s method and style (the two being inseparable). Reading, and now again rereading, my way through Fo…
All Our Theories Are Going to Be Carried Away by History: Alexander Mitscherlich and American Psychoanalysis
Alexander Mitscherlich succeeded in his life project of returning psychoanalysis to post-Nazi central Europe-and securing for it far greater cultural prestige than it ever had in Sigmund Freud's own day-by advancing an idiosyncratic version of psychoanalysis as a secular moral-political language. Mitscherlich was also an effective public intellectual, serving as "the conscience of the nation," a "gentle repentance-preacher." Precisely what worked…
Zwischen Marx und Freud und Masters und Johnson: Kritische Sexualwissenschaft in der Bundesrepublik um 1979
Cold War Freud: Psychoanalysis in an Age of Catastrophes
In Cold War Freud Dagmar Herzog uncovers the astonishing array of concepts of human selfhood which circulated across the globe in the aftermath of World War II. Against the backdrop of Nazism and the Holocaust, the sexual revolution, feminism, gay rights, and anticolonial and antiwar activism, she charts the heated battles which raged over Freud's legacy. From the postwar US to Europe and Latin America, she reveals how competing theories of desir…
What Incredible Yearnings Human Beings Have
I was preoccupied by a number of puzzles during the time I was researching and writing Sexuality in Europe: A Twentieth-Century History . Among other things, I was interested in the puzzle of historical causation. I was curious to use the tools of comparative history as well as the study of transnational flows of people and ideas, and of market forces and wars and diplomatic pressures, to understand what particular conjunctions of multiple factor…
Sexuality in Europe: A Twentieth-Century History
This original book brings a fascinating and accessible new account of the tumultuous history of sexuality in Europe from the waning of Victorianism to the collapse of Communism and the rise of European Islam. Although the twentieth century is often called 'the century of sex' and seen as an era of increasing liberalization, Dagmar Herzog instead emphasizes the complexities and contradictions in sexual desires and behaviours, the ambivalences surr…

Gray Bus Dagmar Herzog (bio) Disabling Logic Recently, half a year before the 2010 midterm elections in the United States, Rand Paul of Kentucky, a Republican running for the Senate, told a reporter that he thought requiring elevators to accommodate wheelchair-bound disabled employees was an “unfair” financial burden on employers. The comment was meant to amplify Paul’s view that, in general, the Americans with Disabilities Act (as it happens, si…
Post coitum triste est…? Sexual Politics and Cultures in Postunification Germany
This article analyzes the evolution of sexual politics and cultures in post-unification Germany, tracing these through three stages. First is the more immediate aftermath, in the early to mid 1990s, of ostalgische consternation over the loss of what Easterners understood to be the special qualities of GDR sexual culture, analyzing this consternation in the context of the—mutually conflicting—fantasies that Easterners and Westerners had about each…
Brutality and Desire: War and Sexuality in Europe's Twentieth Century
Tracing sexual violence in Europe's twentieth century from the Armenian genocide to Auschwitz and Algeria to Bosnia, this pathbreaking volume expands military history to include the realm of sexuality
Introduction: War and Sexuality in Europe’s Twentieth Century
The transformation of European military history from a marginal enclave into a major growth area and enormously respected subfield of the discipline of history writ large has taken place within the last dozen years. Whether the sources of the booming growth in military history and its increasing integration into the mainstream of the discipline can be found in the end of the Cold War and the resurgence in many parts of the globe of interethnic st…
Syncopated Sex: Transforming European Sexual Cultures
THREE FUNDAMENTAL IMPULSES HAVE NOURISHED the field of the history of sexuality in modern Europe over the last thirty years.The original and most powerful of these was, in a sense, archaeological: the effort to excavate the material and imaginative universe of a past moment and reconstruct how human beings in a particular time and location experienced and made sense of sexual matters.The second major impulse, which began to gather force in the mi…

Sexual Morality in 1960s West Germany
This essay investigates the relationship between the sexual revolution of the 1960s in West Germany and the short and long-term legacies of the Third Reich. It offers a challenge to conventional perspectives on the sexual politics of Nazism and thus also on the complicated combination of continuities and ruptures in sexual politics that marked the transition from the end of World War II into the more conservative sexual culture of the 1950s. The …
Anti-Judaism in Intra-Christian Conflict: Catholics and Liberals in Baden in the 1840s
This essay examines the paradoxical relationship between Jewish emancipation and the revival of Catholic neoorthodoxy in the years preceding the revolutions of 1848/49. My focus is on the Grand Duchy of Baden, renowned as the most liberal of all the nineteenth-century German states. The rise of neoorthodoxy in Baden provoked political liberals to rethink the relationship between church and state and, consequently, through a conjunction of circums…
Intimacy and Exclusion: Religious Politics in Pre-Revolutionary Baden
During the years leading up to the revolutions of 1848, liberal and conservative Germans engaged in a contest over the terms of the Enlightenment legacy and the meaning of Christianity - a contest that grew most intense in the Grand Duchy of Baden, where liberalism first became an influential political movement. Bringing insights drawn from Jewish and women's studio into German history, Dagmar Herzog demonstrates how centrally Christianity's prob…

Hubris and Hypocrisy, Incitement and Disavowal: Sexuality and German Fascism
What is the relationship between sexual and other kinds of politics? Few cultures have posed this puzzle as urgently, or as disturbingly, as Nazi Germany. The answers are multiple and as yet unresolved; each emerging answer raises further questions. What exactly were Nazism's sexual politics? Were they repressive for everyone, or were some individuals and groups given sexual license while others were persecuted, tormented, and killed? How should …
Life after Death: Approaches to a Cultural and Social History of Europe During the 1940s and 1950s
This collection of essays offers a novel approach to the cultural and social history of Europe after the Second World War. In a shift of perspective, it does not conceive of the impressive economic and political stability of the postwar era as a quasi-natural return to previous patterns of societal development but approaches it as an attempt to establish 'normality' upon the lingering memories of experiencing violence on a hitherto unprecedented …
