Document Summary
By the end the end of next week we will have an exam question. Possible - what happened to sex in 18th, or 19th, or 20th century canada. Cold war begins in canada with gouzenko affair. Insistence on freedom makes for corresponding insistence on loyalty. There are seen to be high political costs for deviation from "normal" mode of politics, of social roles, of identity formation. Heavy emphasis on "normality" that is focused/centered upon male heterosexuality and nuclear family as primary mechanism of domestication and socialization. Ww2 = a lot of sex , of all kinds are going on. Lots of people forced densely together: in military encampments. Also canadians spent a lot of rime in europe, often in england. "sexual psychopaths with abnormal sexual behaviour" as such they will undermine military disciplines and cohesiveness. The army is hostile and it will court martial. Practically, gays and lesbians are more of less openly engaging in homosexual.
