Abstract

Masculine Virtue in Early Modern Spain extricates the history of masculinity in early modern Spain out of the narrative of Spain's fall from imperial power after 1640. This book culls genres as diverse as emblem books, poetry, drama, courtesy treatises, and prose fiction, to restore the inception of courtiership at the Spanish Hapsburg court to the history of masculinity. Refuting the current conception that Spain's political decline precipitated a "crisis of masculinity," Masculine Virtue maps changes in figurations of normative masculine conduct from 1500 to 1700. As Spain assumed the role of Europe's first modern centralized empire, codes of masculine conduct changed to meet the demands of global rule. Viewed chronologically, Shifra Armon shows Spanish conduct literature to reveal three axes of transformation. The ideal subject (gendered male in both practice and law) became progressively more adaptable to changing circumstances, more secretive, and more desirous of achieving renown. By bringing recent advances in gender theory to bear on normative rather than non-normative masculinities of early modern Spain, Armon is able to foreground the emergence of energizing new models of masculine virtue that continue to resonate today. -- from back cover.

Abstract

The study of masculinities and gender identity in contemporary literature is relatively new and, with each year of this millennium, gains momentum. Indeed, as the women's movement becomes forceful in developing nations, the question of tolerance to gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transvestites undergoes a similar process. At a time when women refuse to be subjected to war crimes, when they begin entering the workforce and realize the need to support their families independently, and when the...

Abstract

This collection of specially commissioned essays provides the first social history of masculinity in the 'long eighteenth century'. Drawing on diaries, court records and prescriptive literature, it explores the different identities of late Stuart and Georgian men. The heterosexual fop, the homosexual, the polite gentleman, the blackguard, the man of religion, the reader of erotica and the violent aggressor are each examined here, and in the process a new and increasingly important field of historical enquiry is opened up to the non-specialist reader.The book opens with a substantial introducti

Abstract

Ellen Greene reexamines long-held scholarly attitudes concerning the representation of male sexual desire and female subjection in the Latin love poetry of Catullus, Propertius, and Ovid. Examining first-person poetic personae that have often been romanticized by critics, Greene finds that male sexuality is consistently threatened as moral resolve and social status are undermined by desires that render men passively "womanish": powerless and emotional.

Abstract

This volume explores the literary representation of male sexual dysfunction and discusses the natural and supernatural elements of an ancient folk medical system based on conceptual associations between male sexuality and specific plants, animals and minerals. The work incorporates material from both literary and scientific sources to draw parallels between ancient and modern paradigms of healing. The literary depiction of attempts to remedy impotence demonstrates how an accessibility to cures contributes to the sexual and social reintegration of the sufferer. The Satyrica of Petronius echoes this process by means of the text itself and so effects similar ends. The book provides new insights into literature and the ancient belief systems underlying it with its original and integrative approach to disciplines such as philology, botany, mineralogy, zoology and medicine.

Abstract

L'embryon a-t-il une âme? Si oui, cette animation est-elle immédiate, dès la conception, ou bien différée? Et, dans ce cas, quand et comment se produit-elle? Cette question a de tout temps été objet de controverses. Les grandes religions monothéistes y apportent des réponses différentes. La science elle-même a longtemps balbutié avant, de comprendre les mécanismes intimes de la reproduction. À l'aube du XXIe siècle, les progrès de la biologie moléculaire renouvellent le débat. Médecin, spécialiste du traitement de la stérilité et des grossesses pathologiques, c'est d'abord en praticien quotidiennement confronté aux interrogations des patients que je m'exprime ici. La médecine, lorsqu'elle touche à la question des origines de l'être, doit tenir compte des progrès scientifiques mais également des questionnements éthiques et du sens à donner à nos décisions thérapeutiques. Le statut de l'embryon peut-il varier selon le regard qu'on lui porte?
