As we know, sociological approaches to sexuality studies have found it difficult to establish themselves as a specific and autonomous field within the discipline of sociology. Attempts at doing so, paradoxically, fed into the tendency to study sexualities as \u2018taboo\u2019 and to focus on phenomena that deviate from (assumedly) \u2018normal\u2019 sexual practices. In the early days of sociological analysis, there was a strong focus on the \u2018normal\u2019 occurrence of things and the verification of social typicality. It does not seem a coincidence, then, that sociology approached sexuality by including it within the studies on deviant phenomena and conduct, with the main objective of normalising its structures, manifestations, and practices. In the sociology of deviance, the study of sexuality often meant the study of those labelled as deviants \u2013 or sinners, in the language of various conservative-religious groups objecting to sexual rights and liberties of those breaking the patriarchal and heteronormative constraints of societies. Over the last decades of sexuality studies, our field has found many ways to break free of these labels and to imbue the studies of sexuality with rebelliousness that has questioned and challenged these norms and constraints \u2013 both of the sociological discipline and societies in general. <a href=\"https:\/\/esarn23.wordpress.com\/conference-2\/2025-palermo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more &#8230; (Web)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Keynote speakers<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/esarn23.wordpress.com\/conference-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Web)<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jo\u00e3o Flor\u00eancio (Link\u00f6ping): Pagans, Pederasts, and Fascists: Far-Right Masculinist Homosexuality in Late 20th-Century Europe\u2014A Case Study<\/li>\n<li>Surya Monro (Loughborough): Interphobia and endoxism: Towards an understanding of structural inequalities<\/li>\n<li>Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli (Melbourne): Sexualities, Genders and Queer Kinships: Addressing Precolonial Actualities, \u2018Post-Colonial\u2019 Amnesia and Neo-Colonial Assemblages<\/li>\n<li>Massimo Prearo (Verona): Defining the Anti-Gender Moment and the Multiple Oppositions to LGBTIQ+ Equality: a Political Map<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Spurce: genus@listserv.gu.se<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESA RN23 Sexuality Midterm Conference (Web) Time: 11.-12.09.2025 Venue: Department of Cultures and Societies, Univ. of Palermo Proposals by &#8211; extended: 30.04.2025 The title of this Mid-Term Conference is inspired by the sociology of deviance and its surprisingly tight relationship with sexuality studies.
