Abstract


This paper explains the «medicalisation» of onanism in nineteenth-century Spain. We - take studies on liberal governmentality as a methodological paradigm. The medical campaign against masturbation is placed at the crossroads of two strands. First, we find the rise of the bourgeois family considered as a private field. Second, we see a mode of subjectivity adapted in accordance with this new domestic space. We analyze, in the context of nineteenth-century Spain, the conflict between Medicine, Education and the Church to control this process.
