Abstract

In De extasen van Eros analyseert Stefan Beyst theorie en praktijk van de mannelijke en vrouwelijke polygamie, van promiscuïteit, het leven in de commune, ascese en verliefdheid, orgie en incest. Hij komt tot de merkwaardige conclusie dat de mens van nature levenslang monogaam zou zijn als de maatschappij de realisering van dat verlangen niet in de weg zou staan. Misschien zijn mannen én vrouwen polygaam. Misschien willen beide geslachten niets liever dan telkens weer nieuwe seksuele ervaringen met telkens nieuwe partners. Misschien zijn alle samenlevingsvormen enkel verminkte manieren om dionysisch op te gaan in één groot seksueel feest, de orgie. Is het mogelijik dat we van nature incestueuze neigingen hebben, en dat daarom onze relaties met niet-familieleden doorgaans op de klippen lopen? Of is seksualiteit een hinderlijke erfenis uit een animaal verleden, die we moeten overstijgen via het celibaat of ascese, zoals tallloze oude wijzen overal en in alle tijden voorhouden?

Abstract

Desire: A History of European Sexuality is a sweeping survey of sexuality in Europe from the Greeks to the present day. It traces two concepts of sexual desire that have competed in European history: desire as dangerous, polluting, and disorderly; and desire as creative, transcendent, even revolutionary. This book follows these changing attitudes toward sexuality through the major turning points of European history. The book ends by demonstrating that western European sexual culture is quite distinct from many other cultures, as the Christian hostility to sexual desire has lost influence. At the same time, the vision of sexual desire as revolutionary seems to have faded. Written in a lively and engaging style the book contains many fascinating anecdotes drawing on a rich array of sources including poetry, novels, pornography and film as well as court records, autobiographies and personal letters. While Anna Clark builds on the work of dozens of historians, she also takes a fresh approach and introduces the concepts of twilight moments and sexual economies. Desire integrates the history of heterosexuality with same-sex desire, and focuses on the emotions of love as well as the passions of lust, the politics of sex as well as the personal experiences.

Abstract

A provocative, elegantly written analysis of female desire, consent, and sexuality in the age of MeToo Women are in a bind. They are told that in the name of sexual consent and feminist empowerment, they must proclaim their desires clearly and confidently. Sex researchers tell us that women don't know what they want. And men are on hand to persuade women that what they want is, in fact, exactly what men want. In this environment, how can women possibly know what they want--and how can they be expected to? In this elegantly written, searching book Katherine Angel surveys medical and psychoanalytic understandings of female desire, from Freud to Kinsey to present-day science; MeToo-era debates over consent, assault, and feminism; and popular culture, TV, and film to challenge our assumptions about female desire. Why, she asks, do we expect desire to be easily understood? Why is there not space for the unsure, the tentative, the maybe, the let's just see? In contrast to the endless exhortation to know what we want, Angel proposes that sex can be a conversation, requiring insight, interaction, and mutual vulnerability--a shared collaboration into the unknown. In this crucial moment of renewed attention to violence and power, Angel urges that we remake our thinking about sex, pleasure, and autonomy without any illusions of perfect self-knowledge. Only then will we bring about Michel Foucault's sardonic promise, in 1976, that tomorrow sex will be good again.
