Dans un contexte socio-culturel propice à l'expression de l'ego, aux épanchements personnels et à l'exhibition de l'intériorité, des créatrices explorent le filon intimiste, souvent avec une audace et une crudité que leur envient leurs alter ego masculins. Que ce soit dans la littérature, les arts plastiques ou le cinéma contemporain, les artistes sont en effet de plus en plus nombreuses à décrire l'expérience (fictionnelle ou subjective) de l'intime, puisant volontiers dans les détails de leurs vies (sexuelles) respectives. Au cœur de ces nouvelles formes, l'hybridation des discours - critique, théorique et intime - est de mise, provoquant un réaménagement considérable au sein des genres, et du genre. br>Ce volume s'interroge à la fois sur les pratiques sexuelles que couvre cette idée de l'intime, l'évolution du contenu des œuvres, du XIXe siècle à aujourd'hui, ainsi que sur les différentes modalités discursives qui véhiculent ces visions (des journaux écrits et correspondances, réels ou fictifs, des œuvres d'art, des films documentaires ou de fiction). L'enjeu des textes repris dans ce volume se situe aussi au niveau de la pertinence d'un tel phénomène et de la spécificité d'un discours " féminin " par rapport à ces pratiques créatives.

Throughout history human societies have sought to manage their reproductive lives to make them fit in with their social, economic and biological conditions. But the different ways communities regulate their fertility, penetrating every aspect of their social life, are so varied and specific that they are often incomprehensible to outsiders. In this book a group of anthropologists set out to throw new light on the dynamics of human reproduction in the world today, looking at the intricate ways that people manage their reproductive life across different cultures, and highlighting the wider meaning of human reproduction and its impact on social organization. The importance of human agency, ethnic boundaries, the regulation of gender relations, issues of fertility and infertility, the significance of children and motherhood and the problems of two large vulnerable social groups, youth and refugees, are all considered in their broader social contexts.

Peek beneath the bedsheets of nineteenth-century Britain in this affectionate, informative and fascinating look at sex and sexuality during the reign of Queen Victoria. It examines the prevailing attitudes towards male and female sexual behaviour, and the ways in which these attitudes were often determined by those in positions of power and authority. It also explores our ancestors' ingenious, surprising, bizarre and often entertaining solutions to the challenges associated with maintaining a healthy sex life. Did the people in Victorian times live up to their stereotypes when it came to sexual behaviour? This book will answer this question, as well as looking at fashion, food, science, art, medicine, magic, literature, love, politics, faith and superstition through a new lens, leaving the reader uplifted and with a new regard for the ingenuity and character of our great-great-grandparents.

We are almost programmed into thinking of our sexuality as a wholly natural feature of life. But sexual relations are but one form of social relations, as Jeffrey Weeks makes clear in his book.Drawing on the analyses of Michel Foucault, amongst others, the book examines the social, moral and political issues raised by contemporary forms of sexuality. Weeks provides an authoritative introduction to the sociology of sexuality, discussing its cultural and socio-historical construction, it's relationship with power and the State's involvement in its rationalisation and regulation.
