Bien que le XVIe siècle ait la réputation tenace d'être propice aux débauches et truculences, il existe assez peu de travaux d’ampleur consacrés à l’analyse de l’obscénité à la Renaissance en France. Etudier l’obscénité à la Renaissance conduit à observer la formation progressive d’une notion qui fait débat parce que les codes moraux et sociaux dont elle dépend ne sont pas encore établis. Le terme d’« obscène » apparaît dans la langue française à cette époque et l’obscénité prolifère dans des contextes très différents, de la médecine à la musique et de la farce aux récits de voyage – autant de lieux où l’obscénité constitue un défi à l’interprétation, puisqu’elle ne peut se définir qu’à partir de ses effets, et qu’elle brouille les limites entre action et représentation. Ainsi la provocation obscène libère une énergie qui permet de repenser l’édiction de normes morales, d’interroger le fonctionnement des œuvres d’art, d’explorer la nature humaine elle-même.

As anyone who has read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales knows, Middle English literature is rife with sexually explicit language and situations. Less canonical works can be even more brazen in describing illicit acts of sexual activity and sexual violence. Such scenes and language were not, however, included exclusively for titillation. In 'Obscene Pedagogies', Carissa M. Harris argues instead for obscenity's usefulness in sexual education. She investigates the relationship between obscenity, gender and pedagogy in Middle English and Middle Scots literary texts from 1300 to 1580 to show how sexually explicit and defiantly vulgar speech taught readers and listeners about sexual behaviour and consent.
