»Freie Zärtlichkeit für Kinder«. Gewalt, Fürsorgeerziehung und Pädophiliedebatte in der Bundesrepublik der 1970er Jahre

  • During the 1970s liberal social scientists and leftist activists discussed the possible decriminalization of pedophilia. The essay argues that, while rooted in the “sexual revolution,” this debate can only be comprehended if one considers customary practices of education. The essay explores the often violent situation in residential child homes and its critique by the New Left (“Heimkampagne”) and inquires into ideas about children and young persons’ own agency. The juxtaposition of physical violence and seemingly unproblematic sexuality made advocacy for pedophiliac contacts plausible, to the degree that some adolescents of the Nuremberg “Indianerkommune” even claimed right to these encounters.
