"The shame of our community": authors' views of prostitutes in late eighteenth century EnglandGillard, Shannon Elayne 15 November 2004 (has links)
This thesis attempts to identify authors' attitudes toward late eighteenth century London prostitutes. Through the examination of several selected sources, one can isolate feelings that eighteenth century writers had about prostitution and those who practiced it. In these works, prostitutes were always rendered as of the lower orders, which the authors acknowledged and emphasized in their writings. What is striking is that none of these authors acknowledged the culpability of the male in the client-prostitute relationship. Therefore, in a close examination of eighteenth century authors' views of prostitutes, one can find both classist and sexist attitudes. The incorrect formulation of the situation is ironic, given that most of the writers of such works were attempting to reform English society and devalue the debauchery and lust that prostitution represented to them. The thesis begins by providing historical background of the lives of prostitutes in late eighteenth century England, showing that the prostitutes provided services to men of higher social and economic classes than they were, and were often young and economically disadvantaged. The main textual chapters are divided into three sections: the first examines works directly related to the Magdalen Charity for repentant prostitutes, namely sermons and titles written to govern or establish the charity, and finds that the authors of these works viewed the prostitute as someone who needed to be instructed in the correct ways to live her life. The second analyzes short works written to address what their writers saw as the problem of prostitution, and discovers that although these writers found different reasons for the causes of prostitution, they all agreed that prostitutes debased society and needed to reform so that the nation would not be ruined. The third researches works of fiction and advice literature, and determines that although women in these works were presented as wealthier than actual prostitutes were, they nonetheless were of the lower orders and should protect themselves from clever and seductive men. The conclusion emphasizes the ways that this study provides new insight into the problem of prostitution and how that relates to race and class in modern society.

Claims-making and prostitution: an analysis of Bill 206, the Traffic Safety (Seizure of Vehicles in Prostitution Related Offences) Amendment Act, 2003Ickert, Carla 11 1900 (has links)
Over the last several decades, politicians, police and communities have increased their attention on the activities and behaviours of men who solicit prostitutes. This study critically examines one recent legal policy aimed at addressing the demand side of prostitution: Bill 206, the Traffic Safety (Seizure of Vehicles in Prostitution Related Offences) Amendment Act, 2003. This study explores what claims-making processes are used to justify this legislation, how johns and prostitutes are represented, and how this legislation (re)produces racialized and gendered subjects. It argues that several claims-making strategies are employed, including a crisis of child prostitution, individualization and responsibilization tactics, and stereotypes about johns and prostitutes, to justify and legitimate this legislation as an appropriate response to prostitution. As a result, the perspectives of prostitutes were absent from the debates, and there was a broad neglect of a socially and historically contextualized analysis of prostitution as a social problem.

The prostitute and her community in late-medieval LondonNorrie, Jasmine January 2010 (has links)
This thesis explores the relationship between prostitute, law, and community in late-medieval London. However much society maligned and marginalised her, the prostitute (and her occupation) was in constant demand and thus became a recurring theme in London’s law books throughout the later medieval period. I argue that this juxtaposition of reviled yet necessary woman in society was a reflection of community concerns: while the promiscuity and financial aspects of prostitution were tolerable, the prostitute’s connections with London’s malefactors were not. / Turning to a variety of legal sources from London’s later-medieval period, particularly London’s civic ordinances, we find that while the prostitute was a constant fixture in these records, laws by and large regulated her movements, and at times even protected the prostitute from both the public and her employers. More commonly, ordinances sought to segregate the prostitute from the wider community because the presence of prostitution was linked to theft, violence, and general disorder. Similarly, records from the Commissary courts – a community court that functioned as a tool for social control – reveal that the community was far more concerned with the containment of offenders whose behaviour might lead to the broader spread of social decay: namely, the pimps and bawds who routinely recruited women into prostitution. / I demonstrate that despite her acknowledged venality, the community tolerated the prostitute as a necessary evil, and possibly even forgave those prostitutes who acted out of desperation. Of greater concern were those individuals who associated with the prostitute: pimps and bawds who encouraged lechery and profited from the sins of others, suspicious persons who drank and committed acts of violence and walked the streets after curfew.
