Sunday Salon: Traditional Society, Traditional Values? Sex and Family Before Modern Times

SUNDAY, October 25th, 2 to 4pm

$3 Members/Students/Seniors, $5 Non-Members

In today’s “culture wars,” conservatives paint themselves as defenders of “traditional values,” threatened by liberals and modernity. Many claim that “traditional” society and family are destroyed by liberal “ideology” promoting sex and freedom. But what “traditional society” are they referring to? Magda Teter will discuss Western ideas of sex and family before the dawn of modern times. NB: Explicit images and texts from 16th century archival materials will be presented. Drawings by Shawn Hill will be on exhibition.
