Abstract

Nooit eerder wellicht werd de vrouwelijke borst zo uitvoerig en vanuit zo veel verschillende invalshoeken beschreven als in dit boek. De auteur laat in dit cultuurhistorische werk zien hoe de aandacht vanuit vele en verschillende perspectieven - sociaal, cultureel, godsdienstig, moreel en commercieel - het beeld van de borst doorheen de geschiedenis bepaalde en veranderde. Het boek beslaat een tijdsspanne van zo'n 25.000 jaar, en richt zich op die momenten waarop een specifieke opvatting over de borst postvatte in de westerse verbeelding. Marilyn Yalom bespreekt achtereenvolgens de heilige, de erotische, de huiselijke en de politieke borst, de psychologische, de commerciële, de medische, de geëmancipeerde borst en tenslotte de borst in crisis.

Abstract

In this provocative, pioneering, and wholly engrossing cultural history, noted scholar Marilyn Yalom explores twenty-five thousand years of ideas, images, and perceptions of the female breast--in religion, psychology, politics, society, and the arts. Through the centuries, the breast has been laden with hugely powerful and contradictory meanings. There is the "good breast" of reverence and life, the breast that nourishes infants and entire communities, as depicted in ancient idols, fifteenth-century Italian Madonnas, and representations of equality in the French Revolution. Then there is the "bad breast" of Ezekiel's wanton harlots, Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth, and the torpedo-breasted dominatrix, symbolizing enticement and aggression. Yalom examines these contradictions--and illuminates the implications behind them. A fascinating, astute, and richly allusive journey from Paleolithic goddesses to modern day feminists, A History of the Breast is full of insight and surprises. As Yalom says, "I intend to make you think about women's breasts as you never have before." In this, she succeeds brilliantly.

Abstract

One of the most fundamental human urges is to form a pair. Despite many tendencies that threaten traditional marriage and even make committed cohabitation problematic, very few people live through adulthood without at least one lengthy relationship, and up to ninety percent of Americans marry at least once in their lives.
