Abstract

Quem tem medo de Hilda Hilst? O dado de provocação dessa pergunta ainda se faz presente, passados mais de dez anos de sua morte, em 2004. A escritora, poeta e teatróloga, nascida em Jaú, em 1930, ganha nestes últimos tempos uma nova leitura e um interesse crescente por sua obra. Em torno de Hilda Hilst é um livro que se situa no panorama da leitura atenta, sensível e curiosa da obra da autora, reunindo pesquisadores do Brasil e do exterior, amantes dessa chama inquieta que é o texto literário que a escritora paulista tão bem soube manter quente e acesa ao longo dos 47 anos de trabalho exclusivo com a literatura. Os leitores que enfrentam o jogo fornecido pela escritora não saem ilesos do ousado universo literário que ela tão bem explorou e que vai do sacro ao metafísico, passando pelo erótico e pelo campo do amoroso e sublime desejo da morte, sem deixar de se lançar ao combativo discurso político e social.

Abstract

'The Erotics of Grief' considers how emotions propagate power by exploring whose lives are grieved and what kinds of grief are valuable within and eroticized by medieval narratives. Megan Moore argues that grief is not only routinely eroticized in medieval literature but that it is a foundational emotion of medieval elite culture. Focusing on the concept of grief as desire, Moore builds on the history of the emotions and Georges Bataille's theory of the erotic as the conflict between desire and death, one that perversely builds a sense of community organized around a desire for death. The link between desire and death serves as an affirmation of living communities.

Abstract

Le terme érotisme est un paradigme lexicalisé à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Employé au sens de « désir amoureux » chez Rétif de la Bretonne en 1794, défini comme « amour sensuel » par Pierre Larousse dans le Grand Dictionnaire universel du XIXe siècle, l’érotisme convoque une dynamique du désir et du plaisir rattachée aux sens et à la sensation. À ce titre, ce néologisme présente un intérêt majeur dans l’histoire des idées car, en désignant une forme particulière de l’amour, celle de l’« amour sensuel », c’est-à-dire propre aux sens, qui émane des sens, sa lexicalisation indique qu’il est essentiellement lié aux études scientifico-philosophiques de l’école sensualiste puis idéologique qui ont ancré le discours amoureux dans la vie sensitive et sensorielle. Or, la pensée romantique a hérité de ces philosophies, notamment celle de Stendhal : l’ensemble de l’œuvre stendhalienne nous présente un écrivain dont la pensée se rattache aux théories de la sensibilité, à plus forte raison dans De l’amour qu’il publie en 1822 et qui s’ouvre sur cette définition qui fait écho à celle de Pierre Larousse : « Aimer, c’est avoir du plaisir à voir, toucher, sentir par tous les sens, et d’aussi près que possible un objet aimable et qui nous aime. » A-t-il pour autant la même conception que ses maîtres idéologues et sensualistes dont il se réclame ? Car, à la croisée de deux siècles, Stendhal est également un romantique dont les théories philosophiques de la sensibilité trouvent un écho esthétique, donnant ainsi son sens plein au terme érotisme qu’Octavio Paz définit comme « le fils de la philosophie et du sentiment poétique qui transfigure en image tout ce qu’il touche » (La Flamme double : amour et érotisme). L’idée de cet ouvrage sur Stendhal et l’érotisme romantique est ainsi née de la mise en rapport et de l’articulation de deux interrogations : quelle conception de l’érotisme Stendhal a-t-il eu à l’époque romantique, au premier chef dans De l’amour ? Et, au regard des définitions…

Abstract

One of the largely untold stories of Orientalism is the degree to which the Middle East has been associated with "deviant" male homosexuality by scores of Western travelers, historians, writers, and artists for well over four hundred years. And this story stands to shatter our preconceptions of Orientalism.To illuminate why and how the Islamicate world became the locus for such fantasies and desires, Boone deploys a supple mode of analysis that reveals how the cultural exchanges between Middle East and West have always been reciprocal and often mutual, amatory as well as bellicose. Whether examining European accounts of Istanbul and Egypt as hotbeds of forbidden desire, juxtaposing Ottoman homoerotic genres and their European imitators, or unlocking the homoerotic encoding in Persian miniatures and Orientalist paintings, this remarkable study models an ethics of crosscultural reading that exposes, with nuance and economy, the crucial role played by the homoerotics of Orientalism in shaping the world as we know it today. A contribution to studies in visual culture as well as literary and social history, The Homoerotics of Orientalism draws on primary sources ranging from untranslated Middle Eastern manuscripts and European belles-lettres to miniature paintings and photographic erotica that are presented here for the first time.

Abstract

Recent decades have seen a revival of paganism, and every summer people gather across the United States to celebrate this increasingly popular religion. Sarah Pike's engrossing ethnography is the outcome of five years attending neo-pagan festivals, interviewing participants, and sometimes taking part in their ceremonies. Earthly Bodies, Magical Selves incorporates her personal experience and insightful scholarly work concerning ritual, sacred space, self-identity, and narrative. The result is a compelling portrait of this frequently misunderstood religious movement. Neo-paganism began emerging as a new religious movement in the late 1960's. In addition to bringing together followers for self-exploration and participation in group rituals, festivals might offer workshops on subjects such as astrology, tarot, mythology, herbal lore, and African drumming. But while they provide a sense of community for followers, Neo-Pagan festivals often provoke criticism from a variety of sources-among them conservative Christians, Native Americans, New Age spokespersons, and media representatives covering stories of rumored "Satanism" or "witchcraft. "Earthly Bodies, Magical Selves explores larger issues in the United States regarding the postmodern self, utopian communities, cultural improvisation, and contemporary spirituality. Pike's accessible writing style and her nonsensationalistic approach do much to demystify neo-paganism and its followers.

Abstract

When we talk of platonic love or relationships today, we mean something very different from what Plato meant. For this, we have fifteenth and sixteenth-century European humanists to thank. As these scholars-most of them Catholic-read, digested, and translated Plato, they found themselves faced with a fundamental problem: how to be faithful to the text yet not propagate pederasty or homosexuality. In Setting Plato Straight, Todd W. Reeser undertakes the first sustained and comprehensive study of Renaissance textual responses to Platonic same-sex sexuality. Reeser mines an expansive collection of translations, commentaries, and literary sources to study how Renaissance translators transformed ancient eros into non-erotic, non-homosexual relations. He analyzes the interpretive lenses translators employed and the ways in which they read and reread Plato's texts. In spite of this cleansing, Reeser finds surviving traces of Platonic same-sex sexuality that imply a complicated, recurring process of course-correction-of setting Plato straight.

Abstract

Sex and Eroticism in Mesopotamian Literature is a new contribution to current debates about sex and eroticism. It gives an insight into Mesopotamian attitudes to sexuality by examining the oldest preserved written evidence on the subject - the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform sources - which were written between the 21st and the 5th centuries B.C. Using these long-neglected and often astonishing data, Gwendolyn Leick is able to anlayse Mesopotamian views of prostitution, love magic and deviant sexual behaviour as well as more general issues of sexuality and gender. This fascinating book sheds light on the sexual culture of one of the earliest literate civilisations.
