Through case studies spanning America, Oceania, Africa, South Asia, the Ottoman world, China, and Japan, the book highlights how empires regulated sexuality and framed colonized peoples within moral and scientific discourses. By centering women and marginalized men, the analysis challenges traditional histories dominated by male European actors and urges a historically careful reading of colonial gender systems.","Licentious Worlds  \nLicentious Worlds Sex and Exploitation in Global Empires  \nJulie Peakman  \nreaktion books  \nPublished by Reaktion Books Ltd Unit 32, Waterside 44–48 Wharf Road London N1 7UX, UK [www.reaktionbooks.co.uk](www.reaktionbooks.co.uk)  \nFirst published 2019  \nCopyright © Julie Peakman 2019  \nAll rights reserved  \nNo part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the publishers  \nPrinted and bound in Malta by Gutenberg Press Ltd  \nA catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library  \nISBN 978 1 78914 140 5  \ncontents  \nIntroduction 7  \n1 Colonizing America: The First New World 21  \n2 Discovering Oceania: ‘The New Cythera’ 57  \n3 Into Africa: ‘The Dark Continent’ 89  \n4 Post-colonial America: Finding Freedonia 121  \n5 Glory of India: The Mughal Empire to the British Raj 149  \n6 The Ottoman Empire: ‘The Sublime State’ 185  \n7 China: ‘Tiger of the East’ 221  \n8 Japan: ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ 257  \nConclusion: Final Thoughts on Sex, Religion and Empire 294  \nEpilogue: Further Theories of Colonization 303  \nReferences 307  \nBibliography 334  \nAcknowledgements 353  \nPhoto Acknowledgements 355  \nIndex 358  \nJosé Jiménez Aranda, A Slave for Sale, c. 1897, oil on canvas.  \nintroduction  \nS  \ntories of empire traditionally outline the daring adventures and‘ripping yarns’ of European men. Tales of great sailing feats across oceans, military campaigns involving thousands of men and incred-  \nible acts of bravery in foreign climes place the white male European at the heart of studies of imperialism, colonialism and empire-building – often, women were missing completely in these histories.These images have been sustained over the centuries, reinforced by a picture often drawn from the diaries and journals ofthe men themselves. Consequently, explorations of empire (both in past studies and exploration itself ) have often been seen in terms of imperialistic and mercantilist goals, with images propagating the idea of groups of enterprising men travelling over vast oceans to forge triumphs for the conquering forces. A focus on detached structural forces of economics, politics and commodity exchange in early histories of empire often overlooked individuals and neglected the social and cultural impacts of such ventures.  \nWomen’s integral role in empires and empire-building has been under-investigated, although this is starting to be redressed by feminist historians.1 A fuller representation of how empires were built and maintained is needed to show how women held key positions in negotiations and peace  \nl ic ent io us wor l ds  \nprocesses in conjoining the ‘old’ and ‘new’ worlds. Historians have rightly taken issue with one male historian in particular who stated,‘The problem which arises is that in trying to write in a role for women, there is a risk of exaggerating their importance.’2 I am therefore hoping to override such misogynistic thinking by stressing the importance of women in empire, helping to put women (and marginalized men) back in the picture.  \nMore recently, concepts of gender have become central in the writing of feminist historians of colonialism in their investigations of how empires were structured. They have shown how colonialism cannot be read in isolation from the sex, race and class hierarchies that made up imperial rule – perceptions of masculinity and femininity were central to colonial structure, and these were learned roles.3 Philippa Levine has added substantially to our understanding of how gender affects colonialism and has shown how gender-inflected analyses offer a rich way to explore both colonial power and the hierarchies associated with gender.4 Her comprehensive exploration of late nineteenth-and early twentiethcentury British imperial efforts to regulate prostitution and control venereal disease highlights the i","cbCaiuRLizG0GtHn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuRLizG0GtHn","pdf",24848306,1,368,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Colonizing America: The First New World\n## Discovering Oceania: ‘The New Cythera’\n## Into Africa: ‘The Dark Continent’\n## Post-colonial America: Finding Freedonia\n## Glory of India: The Mughal Empire to the British Raj\n## The Ottoman Empire: ‘The Sublime State’\n## China: ‘Tiger of the East’\n## Japan: ‘Land of the Rising Sun’\n## Conclusion: Final Thoughts on Sex, Religion and Empire\n## Epilogue: Further Theories of Colonization","[{\"question\":\"本书聚焦哪些主题来理解全球帝国？\",\"answer\":\"书中围绕性、剥削以及性别如何参与帝国统治展开，并把种族与阶级层级放在同一分析框架中。\"},{\"question\":\"作者如何看待传统帝国叙事对女性的缺失？\",\"answer\":\"作者指出以往研究往往由男性欧洲人的日记与书写塑造，导致女性在帝国历史中长期缺位。通过强调女性及被边缘化的男性，书中力图把他们重新纳入叙事。\"},{\"question\":\"为什么在殖民研究中要重视“性别”（gender）这一概念？\",\"answer\":\"作者强调gender不仅是书写女性，而是一种对性别差异及其社会分类的理解；同时该结构还与种族与地位等级相互交织。\"}]","Licentious Worlds -
