Remarks to GUS PDF version 0.1 (2003)

~ A previous version of GUS Atlas (retrospectively nicked version 0.0) has
been integrally web-published in HTML as of January 30th 2003 at
http://www2.hu-berlin.de/sexology/GESUND/ARCHIV/GUS/INDEXATLAS.HTM et seq.

~ This GUS v0.0 can be had offline by applying a download manager
device on the root http://www2.hu-berlin.de/sexology/GESUND/ARCHIV/GUS. Such
will require approximately 25 Mbs of disk space.

~ The process involved in printing GUS Atlas was to rejoin PDFs
(pseudoprints) of individual chapters filed as HTMLs (in .DOC layout),
except for those two files for which this was not possible (nonnative North
America, North American Natives); this produces footnote layout instead
of an endnote layout. Software used included Microsoft Word XP in
conjunction with Adobe PDFmaker 5.0/6.0 for Word.

~ Due to this process Atlas’ Ethno/Geographic Index is not functional as
such.

~ The reader will take note of the fact that the New Guinea chapter is
more or less in its correct shape (other than in the web-edition).

~ No attempt was made to erase obsolete or non-functional features such
as (unused) indications of last revision, linkages, etc.

~ No comprehensive spelling-/idiom checks were effectuated since (or
before) the initial web-publication. This has not been scheduled either.
The author regrets any reading inconveniences.

~ Currently, GUS experiences its continuity at
http://www.topica.com/lists/growingupsexually.

~ The reader is invited to comment on the project (cf. http://www2.hu-
berlin.de/sexology/GESUND/ARCHIV/GUS/GUSINVITATION.HTM) or to elaborate
otherwise (cf. http://www2.hu-berlin.de/sexology/GESUND/ARCHIV/GUS/CHRES.HTM).

Growing Up Sexually: The Project

Project “Growing Up Sexually” (January-September 2002) originally was borne out of a
literature review financially supported by the Dutch Dr. Mr. Edward Brongersma
Foundation, Amsterdam. It comprises of a two-volume, bimodal overview of cross-cultural
material relevant for the study of preadult sexual behaviour curricula and trajectories. The
first volume (hereafter referred to as “Atlas”, Vol. I) consists of an annotated bibliography
using a rough geo-/ ethnographical organisation. The outcome is a heterogenous collection of
accounts of sexual behaviour trajectories that may be or have been typical for given
communities within a given ethnohistorical space or time span. The second volume
(hereafter referred to as “Thematic Volume”, Vol. II) tentatively elaborates on this collection,
by (1) organising and challenging traditions, theoretical paradigms, and meta-scientific
positionings pertaining to “sexual development” issues provided by anthropologists; which,
together with (2) the influx of (non-) cross-culturalist sociological data and perspectives, is to
accommodate (3) a cross-cultural presentation of Atlas data within a polythematic format.

Taken together, the Volumes provide a reference guide to ethnografia, historia, and
sociologia not previously available. As such, it elaborates on and adds to specific sections of
9
Guidelines Growing Up Sexually
such pioneering initiatives by Ploß1 and Ford (1945, etc.; Ford and Beach, 1951)2, the body of
relevant data resulting from the numeric cross-cultural method (as reviewed in Vol. II,
Appendix I), such recent projects as the International Encyclopedia of Sexuality3, and the range
of authors that have provided limited and arbitrary colloquia of ethnographic accounts. The
Atlas provides for a working database of materials which may be used in future ethnological,
and ethnographic, efforts; it does not, at present, test hypotheses, contest or cross-analyse
data, or introduce original field work (cf. infra). The collection is a working database in that it
explicitly invites elaboration, and organises questions rather than answers.

Specifically, the scope here is wider than previous anthropological entries. The study of
“cultural developmental sexology” embraces all instances of the potential “sexual”
environment of the child, the factors that allegedly “benefit” or “corrupt” the child, as well as
his/her own “healthy” and “pathological” pursuits in sexualibus. More of contemporary
sexology, however legitimate in its existence, leaves a negativist afterimage that issues
“abusive” interconnections of these allegedly separate worlds. However implicitly providing
essential insights to sexual cultures, most of this literature, which is quite a distinct tradition,
does not offer an integral interpretation of the “culture” it is embedded in (ethnocentrism). It
is therefore underrepresented in the current phase of the project. Again, one must not
imagine studying children’s sexual (sub)cultures, if any, by avoiding the boundaries of its
working space; that boundaries are the central indicators of its identity and autonomy.

The project (January-October, 2002) was financially supported by the Dr. Mr. Edward
Brongersma Foundation, Amsterdam. The Foundation supports the study of developmental
sexualities from non judgmental, multi-disciplinary perspectives. A concurrent review
project supported by the Foundation has been manufactured by the Dutch Institute for
Socio-Sexological Research (formerly, NISSO)4.

The current publication is best regarded as an interim database of resources supporting
ongoing interpretation efforts. It follows a preliminary webpublication at the website of the
Magnus Hirschfeld Archive for Sexology, Berlin, following
http://www2.rz.hu-berlin.de/sexology/ GESUND/ARCHIV/GUS/GUS_AFS.HTM as of January 30,
2003. An update solution was instituted as of June 2, 2003, at

the references gathered there.
