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…
Sexuality and the Print Media in the Modern World
The history of the print media”s engagement with sexuality is a topic of enormous complexity. Depictions of sexuality in the periodical press are shaped by cultural attitudes and beliefs, representational and reporting practices, political economies, and audiences across time and space. The print media have been richly social since their inception, and all but the most rigorously controlled media systems have covered topics of a sexual nature. Se…
The Conspiratorial Mode in American Television: Politics, Public Relations, and Journalism in House of Cards and Scandal
This essay traces an emerging tendency in popular culture to view conspiracy as the very substance of politics as opposed to a deviation from a nonconspiratorial norm. Television dramas like Scandal and House of Cards, which in some respects revive eighteenth-century conspiratorial imaginings, mark a radical rupture from twentieth-century depictions of coldly rational schemes, institutional actors, and subversion from within. In these shows, expo…
April R. Haynes. Riotous Flesh: Women, Physiology, and the Solitary Vice in Nineteenth-Century America
Until now, historians of the U.S. have paid scant attention to the politics of anti-masturbation campaigns, especially those aimed at suppressing women’s masturbation. April R. Haynes’s Riotous Flesh: Women, Physiology, and the Solitary Vice in Nineteenth-Century America fills this void. Deeply counterintuitive, the book challenges longstanding assumptions about the origins and social implications of anti-masturbation discourses. When second-wave…
Sex Trafficking, Scandal, and the Transformation of Journalism, 1885-1917
Introduction to “charting, tracking, and mapping: New technologies, labor, and surveillance”
Advances in information technologies over the last two decades have offered the promise of revolutionizing workplaces and other settings by expanding the capabilities of individuals working in various professions. Enabled by high-speed computing systems and marked by an intensification of command and control properties, new technologies have expanded, and in some cases intentionally surpassed, the scope of the senses. Technologies such as drones,…
Approaches to Gender and Sexuality in Media History
This chapter surveys scholarship that lies at the intersection of media history, gender history, and the history of sexuality. Work that cuts across these three areas serves as a necessary corrective to the masculine bias found within conventional media histories. However, much of the scholarship surveyed focuses narrowly on “women” as a biological category, ignoring the critical role commercial and social‐movement media have played in producing,…

Running from the Rescuers: New U.S. Crusades Against Sex Trafficking and the Rhetoric of Abolition
This article analyzes recent developments in U.S. anti-sex trafficking rhetoric and practices. In particular, it traces how pre-9/11 abolitionist legal frameworks have been redeployed in the context of regime change from the Clinton to Bush administrations. In the current political context, combating the traffic in women has become a common denominator political issue, uniting people across the political and religious spectrum against a seemingly…
Rethinking a Curricular Icon: The Institutional and Ideological Foundations of Walter Lippmann
This essay explores the use of Walter Lippmann’s ideas in three areas of mass communications research: message-driven media effects research and related studies of agenda setting, priming, and framing; social histories of U.S. journalism, advertising, and public relations; and interpretive accounts of the field’s genesis. It offers a new understanding of the role Lippmann played in yoking together a range of communication-related issues under a s…
