This article examines the recent history of sexual morality in rural Ireland. My thesis is that this history can be defined as a process of structural change in which a normative model has been replaced by a cognitive model. Both models give rise to disciplinary systems but, I argue, they differ from each other in their respective objects: whereas a normative model has the body as its immediate object of discipline, in the cognitive model body discipline is mediated through the individual's self. Since the normative model is grounded in religious values, I consider that this transition can be also interpreted as an instance of the process of secularization.RésuméL'auteur examine l'histoire récente de la moralité sexuelle dans l'Irlande rurale. Sa thèse est que cette histoire peut être définie comme un processus de changement structurel dans lequel un modèle normatif a été remplacé par un modèle cognitif. Les deux modèles donnent tous deux naissance à des systèmes disciplinaires mais, de l'avis de l'auteur, ceux‐ci n'ont pas le même objet : alors que le modèle normatif définit le corps comme objet immédiat de la discipline, la discipline corporelle dans le modèle cognitif est médiée par le Soi de l'individu. Dans la mesure où le modèle normatif est ancré dans les valeurs religieuses, l'auteur considère que cette transition peut aussi être interprétée comme une manifestation du processus de sécularisation.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to explore how racially gendered classed power‐relations structure history, knowledge and American Sociology's historical memory and disciplinary knowledge production. In order to do so, this paper will 1) utilize Cabral's (1970) theory of history to center humanity as historically developed into a racially gendered classed capitalist world‐system, 2) employ intersectionality as a heuristic device to see how knowledge is manipulated to normalize dehumanization as well as to perpetuate exploitation and privilege by denying "Othered' " knowledges, and lastly 3) sociologically imagine this racially gendered classed process in the "institutional‐structure" of American Sociology by exploring the ancestry of the concept of "intersectionality." In all this paper argues 1) American Sociology under theorizes history, a central aspect of the sociological imagination and production of new sociological knowledge, 2) American Sociology reproduces a dehumanized theory of history per Marx's "historical materialism" and 3) the structure of American Sociology's knowledge is racially gendered classed, as illustrated in the collective memory of the concept of "intersectionality."

"Knowledge and the Early Modern City uses case studies from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries to examine the relationships between knowledge and the city and how these changed in a period when the nature and conception of both was drastically transformed. Providing the ideal starting point for those seeking to understand the role of urban institutions, actors and spaces in the production of knowledge and the development of the so-called 'modern' knowledge society, this is the perfect resource for students and scholars of early modern history and knowledge"--
