TORRES CENDALES, Leidy Jazmín. Progress, discipline and manhood? A case of sodomy in the National University of the United States of Colombia (1880). Hist. Soc. [online]. 2015, n.29, pp.121-152. ISSN 0121-8417. https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n29.50577.
In this article, an act of sodomy presumably committed by two Philosophy and Literature students in the National University of the United States of Colombia in 1880 is studied closely. Based on the analysis of the disciplinary system of the University, the possible meanings of sexual contact between men in the late nineteenth century, and the power relations demonstrated in the file, I intend to evince how this case destabilized and, at the same time, reaffirmed the control system and the physical and behavioral standards within the institution. It represented an escape mechanism from the harsh surveillance towards students as well as the replication of those forms of regulation and behavioral rules among students.
