A sexy new edition
Benjamin A Kahan from Louisiana State University has published a new edition of Heinrich Kaan’s Psychopathia Sexualis. Originally published in 1884, Kahan calls is “the first sexological text”, noting that Foucault claimed it as marking “the birth date . . . of sexuality and sexual aberrations”.
You can check out the edition on the Cornell University Press website. Congratulations, Benjy!
I’m so board with the MSA
Hands up who else needs a drink after this week? Stephen Ross writes to remind everyone that the Modernist Studies Association will be holding their board drinks downstairs at the hotel bar on the 17th of November at 08:30. Election talk is strictly forbidden.
