Using any part of Jeffrey Weeks (“Sexuality in History”), Susan Stryker (“Subjug

Using any part of Jeffrey Weeks (“Sexuality in History”), Susan Stryker (“Subjugated” Knowledges”), or the essays by Foucault, and no fewer than two other readings from the syllabus, explain how identity is socially constructed by the knowledge of sexuality–or the medical ideas associated with sexology. You might find the readings by Freud and Krafft-Ebing helpful here, as well. Argue for the ways in which identity differs from behavior, and the ways in which “official” versus “unofficial” knowledge informs sexuality as an institution—or a set of rules. Illustrate these two ideas—the “social construction” of sexuality and the significance of sexuality-as-knowledge—by pointing to a specific example from any unit in our readings. Your answer should account for geographic and chronological specificity, and the example you use should distinguish clearly between gender identity (like cisgender versus transgender identity) and identity based on sexual orientation (like bisexual, lesbian, or gay identity). In addition to accounting for the complexity of regional differences, incorporate an analysis of race or class where appropriate. (Do not use any other sources than those mentioned and attached)
