> This workshop will launch a two-year research project focusing on the
> history of love, sex, and war in Europe. Historian Dagmar Herzog has
> called the 20th century "the century of sex," while Laura Lee Downs and
> Kathleen Canning consider it a time when "gender troubles" emerged. Yet,
> the 20th century also initiated greater equality between the sexes and
> increasing liberalization of sexual norms and rights. Both categories -
> gender and sexuality - profoundly shaped the last century. Two world
> wars, genocide, and other episodes of mass violence make it crucial to
> examine European societies from a social and cultural perspective and to
> ask: what role did gender and sexuality play in these events?
>
> War affects many aspects in the everyday lives of civilians and
> combatants. Moreover, it irrevocably alters life after the hostilities
> end. Recently, scholars (e.g. Andrew Bergerson, Jennifer Evans, and
> Christa Hämmerle) have placed particular attention to the sources
> available to examine the history of love, sex, and war. By examining key
> issues of extant sources, our first workshop will begin to peel back the
> layers of time that re-shaped scholars' conceptions of love and
> sexuality in times of war.
>
> The workshop aims to identify specific sources that explore emotional
> realms such as affection, desire, inhibitions, repulsion, and grief.
> Indeed, writing a history of sexuality and emotions might require the
> scholars in general, and, the workshop participants in particular, to
> interrogate other forms of evidence and employ specific methods of
> analysis. Outmoded sources can open paths to answer new questions. New
> sources can be mobilized and created, as is the case with oral
> histories. Individual accounts, including autobiographies and witness
> testimonies, are important because they provide insight into a private
> sphere that, especially in wartime, is inherently political.
>
> Although sources may include tangible traces of sexual practices and
> emotional responses only sporadically, they nevertheless embed the
> narrated acts into a larger socio-historical framework. This first
> workshop is will focus on exploring the range and interpretive
> possibilities of sources, including oral histories, ego-documents,
> institutional records, and (audio) visual sources.
>
> How do these sources expand our understanding of love, sex, and war?
> What can they tell us about the emotions and social practices? What
> theoretical implications and methodological challenges arise for
> historians engaging with those sources?
