AP European History
Unit 1 – Renaissance and Exploration
Topic 1.4
How might queer theory interpret the influence of print technology on societal norms during Renaissance Europe?
With increased access to diverse thoughts via print media, societies gradually embraced different sexual orientations and identities during this period.
Print technology predominantly enforced heteronormative narratives due to censorship laws that restricted publishing content challenging traditional gender roles or sexualities.
Print technology had little impact on societal norms related to gender or sexuality as most printed material revolved around religion or academia.
The advent of print led to an explosion of openly queer literature that challenged existing societal norms around gender and sexuality.
