The History of Sexuality, Vol. 1: An Introduction
In this seminal work, Michel Foucault examines the historical development of sexuality as a domain of power and knowledge. He critiques the notion of sexual repression in the Victorian era, arguing instead for a proliferation of discourses that control and define human sexuality. This introduction sets the stage for a broader critique of modern institutions and their influence on personal freedoms.
