Transcending the traditional categories of 'medieval' and 'early modern' to analyse pan-European attitudes and behaviours, Sex and Sexuality provides students with a grounding in the history of sexuality by supplying both a detailed analysis of the existing historiographical debates but also analysis of the primary sources such as autobiographies and contemporary literature. Offering an accessible overview that places sex and sexuality within the historical context of the time period, it creates a deeper understanding of connections and differences across Europe. An interdisciplinary work, it draws on cultural, social, religious, philosophical, literary, economic and scientific ideas while incorporating theory from within the field to broaden perspective of the history of sexuality. Challenging the separation of the medieval and early modern 'periods', this volume highlights a great deal of continuity between 1100 and 1750 across Europe, with change occurring more notably towards the eighteenth century. Key interventions on the role of the passions, the imagination, the 'two worlds' motif and subordination are made across the work. Moreover, it questions the belief that the 'Middle Ages' was one of sexual repression and highlights a second 'world' in which sex was a natural, even celebrated part of life and engages with the belief that the eighteenth century saw a 'sexual revolution'. This book is essential reading for students, scholars and the general public interested in the history of sexuality. --

"In this monograph, the author embarks on a cpativating journey to shed fresh light on the togata, a mid-Republican theatrical genre which survives only in fragments. The books seeks to answer pressing questions surrounding the togata's significance in identity construction during the middle Republic from a literary and cultural perspective. Delving deep into the fragmentary textual remains of the togata, the book explores how the Roman elite fashioned their identity. The author challenges the notion of monolithic identity construction, and explores the diverse forms of identity within the togata, offering a new perspective on the subject. This study positions the togata as a vital source for discerning the characteristics and beliefs by which the Romans distinguished themselves and their culture from others. By examining how Romans perceived themselves, their ideas about different social groups, and their literary and cultural ties to earlier traditions, this book aims to transform our understanding of the togata's role in Roman drama.

Peut-on imaginer le visage d'Humphrey Bogart autrement que noyé dans un nuage de fumée ? Groucho Marx sans son cigare ? Jacques Tati sans sa pipe ? Audrey Hepburn sans son fume-cigarette ? Le Belmondo d'À bout de souffle sans son mégot au coin des lèvres ? Ou encore Clint Eastwood sans un cigarillo entre les dents dans les westerns de Sergio Leone ? Quelques images, entre des dizaines et des dizaines d'autres, qui restent gravées dans nos mémoires. Depuis la naissance du 7e art, le tabac a longtemps été omniprésent sur les écrans, comme si la cigarette, le cigare ou la pipe étaient nécessaires à la star pour qu'elle prenne toute sa dimension. Demander du feu, proposer une cigarette, c'était déjà écrire un scénario…
