Les latrines romaines ont, dans notre imaginaire collectif, une place particulière. Les vestiges bien conservés des villes d’Afrique du Nord ou d’Asie Mineure laissent en effet entrevoir une époque pendant laquelle la pudeur telle qu’on la conçoit actuellement n’existait pas, où le Romain n’hésitait pas à satisfaire ses besoins naturels devant son contemporain. Les chercheurs ont focalisé leur attention principalement sur la belle architecture, les grands bâtiments pouvant accueillir parfois plusieurs dizaines de personnes. Ces constructions ne forment pourtant qu’une minorité des latrines antiques. Le développement de l’archéologie permet désormais d’appréhender les aménagements les plus modestes et les plus fréquents, dont les simples fosses, cuvelées ou non, creusées dans le sol. En prenant en compte tous les types de structures d’une région bien déterminée de l’Empire romain — les provinces gauloises, germaniques et alpines —, cet ouvrage donne un aperçu, le plus complet possible, des lieux d’aisance et de leur utilisation. C’est une image différente de celle généralement admise qui apparait alors. Les aménagements sont, la plupart du temps, simples et répondent à la stricte utilité. Les belles latrines sont rares et n’apparaissent que tardivement. Un certain nombre de dispositions permettent d’isoler ces lieux de l’extérieur ; les latrines apparaissent comme un monde clos, refermé sur lui-même. Parallèlement aux constructions, pour la première fois, ce sont les structures mobiles qui sont considérées, tant sur le plan littéraire qu’archéologique : la matella, l’urinoir masculin, le scaphium, l’urinoir féminin, le lasanum, le pot de chambre, mais également l’amphore qui, en remploi, sert a récupérer l’urine pour les activités artisanales. La gestion des latrines au quotidien, leur financement, leur entretien sont étudiés. La circulation de l’eau usée, utilisée pour évacuer les déjections dans les égouts, est décrite tout comme celle de l’eau propre, servant…

Today’s debates about transgender inclusion and public restrooms may seem unmistakably contemporary, but they have a surprisingly long and storied history in the United States—one that concerns more than mere “potty politics.” Alexander K. Davis takes readers behind the scenes of two hundred years’ worth of conflicts over the existence, separation, and equity of gendered public restrooms, documenting at each step how bathrooms have been entangled with bigger cultural matters: the importance of the public good, the reach of institutional inclusion, the nature of gender difference, and, above all, the myriad privileges of social status. Chronicling the debut of nineteenth-century “comfort stations,” twentieth-century mandates requiring equal-but-separate men’s and women’s rooms, and twenty-first-century uproar over laws like North Carolina’s “bathroom bill,” Davis reveals how public restrooms are far from marginal or unimportant social spaces. Instead, they are—and always have been—consequential sites in which ideology, institutions, and inequality collide.
