Abstract

The way that we have perceived, described, and understood sexual desire has changed dramatically over time and across cultures. This collection brings together a group of experts from a variety of disciplines to explore the history of sexual desires and the transformation of sexual ideas, attitudes, and practices in premodern Europe. Among the topics considered are the visibility of sexual offenses and the construction of passions; the geographical range extends to Great Britain, with extended attention also to France as well as Northern and Eastern Europe. The result is a groundbreaking volume that adds significantly to our understanding of premodern European history, history of sexualities, gender studies, religious history, and many other fields.

Abstract

Para sumarse a los esfuerzos ya emprendidos por otros estudiosos y desde otras disciplinas de las ciencias sociales, esta obra ingresa nuevamente en el análisis de las prácticas y significados de la sexualidad. El objetivo es el mismo: entender que la sexualidad nos remite de manera compleja con otras relaciones sociales y que se encuentra cargada de valoraciones y significados contradictorios, pero ahora incorpora algunos avances en la investigación, reflexiona en ella teórica, metodológica e históricamente, y supedita todo ello a la crítica y sistematización del conocimiento sobre el tema.

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

The essays in this volume explore varied manifestations of medieval and early modern sexuality. Magic rings; seductive she-devils; satyrs bound and whipped on stage; a woman sexually coerced in the confessional; a boy caught masturbating over a midwifery manual; a marriage of true minds between two men; a prince led to repentance at the sight of a naked girl prepared to give her life for his. These varied manifestations of medieval and early modern sexuality ? each at the center of one of the essays in this volume ? suggest the ubiquity and diversity of eroticism in the period. The erotic is the stuff of legend, but also of daily life. It is inextricable from relations of power and subordination and is plays a fundamental role in the heirarchical social structures of the period. The erotic is also very much a part of the spiritual realm, often in morally ambiguous ways. The seven essays collected in this volume explore the role the erotic played in early modern notions of happiness or fulfillment, in clerical life, in Jewish legend, heretical magic and Christian marriage, in poetry, on the public stage, and in medical manuals.
