Peter Coviello has written extensively about intimacy, nation, and the racial history of sexuality in nineteenth-century America. His current project considers the fate of early Mormonism, its theological as well as colonial ambitions, and the eventual disciplining of its carnal imagination. His work looks to reconceive “secularism” as a biopolitics.
