Synopsis
This unit will explore the relationship between the aggresive imperialism of the late 19th and early 20th century and changing ideas on sexuality, gender and subjectivity. It will also look at questions of race: at concerns about degeneration and 'race suicide', at the emergence of anti-Semitism, and at the connection between racial concerns and questions about sexuality.
