The topics of the forthcoming conference include the discursive construction of sexuality, the definition and maintenance of social norms by dominant groups, and the resulting tensions in the everyday lives and practices of working people. The presentations will address the complex relations between everyday sexual practice and the attempts to regulate and standardize them by law, sexual morals or ideological positions of labour organizations and groups claiming to represent the working class in Western countries as well as in countries ruled by labour organisations. The political and geographical range of this conference covers five continents and includes (post-)colonial aspects. Main foci will be sexual education, reproduction, the sexuality of marginalized groups and sexual-historical aspects of the workplace from the end of the 19th century until the present.
