Troubling Popularisation: On the Gendered Circuits of a 'Scientific' Knowledge of Sex.
With the recent transnational turn in sexology studies, scholars have been highly effective in demonstrating the dialogical nature of exchanges between sexologists and other professionals. Even so, the problem of what counts as ‘sexological’ still haunts the field. One way to circumvent this impasse...

Even so, the problem of what counts as ‘sexological’ still haunts the field. One way to circumvent this impasse on the vexing question of disciplinarity is to, first, think about knowledge production in relation to knowledge exchange and second, bring gender into the frame. Drawing on the critique of popularisation developed by historians and sociologists of science, this article turns to the British Society for the Study of Sex Psychology as a case study to argue that popularisation is a blunt instrument, providing limited understanding of the gendered nature of knowledge acquisition and circulation. A different model – termed ‘ventilation’ – allows the historian to step outside the logic of popularisation to explain how dissemination itself bestowed agency to ordinary women and men, who became co-producers of modern sexual knowledge. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Gender & History is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
