Thomas Walter Laqueur

    Thomas W. Laqueur è uno storico, sessuologo e scrittore americano il cui lavoro si addentra profondamente nelle storie culturali del corpo e della sessualità. Esamina come le comprensioni sociali del sesso e dell'intimità si siano evolute nel corso dei secoli, dall'antichità all'era moderna. Le sue analisi svelano gli intricati legami tra concetti biologici, norme sociali ed esperienze individuali. L'approccio di Laqueur offre profonde intuizioni su come abbiamo costruito la nostra comprensione della corporeità umana e dell'identità sessuale.

    The making of the modern body : sexuality and society in the nineteenth century
    • Scholars have only recently discovered that the human body itself has a history. Not only has it been perceived, interpreted, and represented differently in different epochs, but it has also been lived differently, brought into being within widely dissimilar material cultures, subjected to various technologies and means of control, and incorporated into different rhythms of production and consumption, pleasure and pain. The eight articles in this volume support, supplement, and explore the significance of these insights. They belong to a new historical endeavor that derives partly from the crossing of historical with anthropological investigations, partly from social historians' deepening interest in culture, partly from the thematization of the body in modern philosophy (especially phenomenology), and partly from the emphasis on gender, sexuality, and women's history that large numbers of feminist scholars have brought to all disciplines.

      The making of the modern body : sexuality and society in the nineteenth century
    • Von der Antike bis in die frühe Neuzeit wurde die Onanie moralisch eher wie eine Nebensache behandelt. Erst im Zeitalter der Aufklärung wurde damit begonnen, sie regelrecht zu verteufeln - mit Auswirkungen, die über Sigmund Freud und Nancy Friday bis in die Gegenwart reichen.§§Thomas W. Laqueur, Historiker an der Universität Berkeley, schildert die Geschichte der Masturbation und ihrer Verfemung. Seine scharfsichtige Analyse offenbart erschreckende (Ab-)Gründe.
