The project focuses on previously unexplored questions about the production of sexual knowledge in a multiethnic context. A study of personal documents, literature, sex education, and scientific publications allows us to treat ethnic difference as a productive focal point of sexual explorations in fin-de-siècle Galicia. Due to the disorganized and polycentric character of sexual explorations, the project uses an approach focused on the history of knowledge that is organized around thought collectives and knowledge cultures. The project also engages with recent works in the Central European history of sexualities to redefine the European center-periphery model.
