Developments in the Histories of Sexualities: In Search of the Normal, 1600–1800 (Transits: Literature, Thought & Culture, 1650–1850)
1600-1800探討了官方排除禁止的性行為所造成的反對意見,並通過在人際關係層面廣泛接受這些非法行為來抵制這種排斥。在不同的時間和不同的地方,國家立法通過拒絕具體做法來設立或嘗試建立“正常”。然而,這種“正常”是受到流行實踐的貶低,因為被認為在基層被禁的行為本身就是“正常的”。
性的歷史發展分析了關於性行為的禁令和法令的狀態語言,以及標誌著性行為多樣性接受的草根語言。在這些論文中討論的事件中,有森林 - 皮埃爾的審判,“蘭戈倫女士”,以及新聞界對發現詹姆斯·艾倫(James Allen)是一個以男人和拉維尼亞·愛德華茲(Lavinia Edwards)是一名以女性妓女為生的男子......
Developments in the Histories of Sexualities: In Search of the Normal,1600-1800 explores the oppositions created by the official exclusion of banned sexual practices and the resistance to that exclusion through widespread acceptance of those outlawed practices at an interpersonal level. At different times and in different places, state legislation sets up—or tries to set up—a “normal” by rejecting a particular practice or group of practices. Yet this “normal” is derogated by popular practice, since the banned acts themselves are thought at the grassroots level to be “normal.” Among the events discussed in these essays are the Woods-Pirie trial, the “Ladies of Llangollen,” the popular acceptance of fops and mollies, and the press reaction to the discovery that James Allen was a woman who had lived successfully as a man and Lavinia Edwards was a man who had made her living as a female prostitute. Developments in the History of Sexualities analyzes both the state language of bans and fiats about sexuality, and the grassroots language which marks the acceptance of multiplicity in sexual practice. Contributors benefit from the accumulation of new evidence of attitudes towards sexual practice, and they engage with a wide range of texts, including Ned Ward’s History of the Clubs, Tobias Smollett’s Roderick Random, Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew and The Tempest, Dryden’s All for Love, Anne Batten Cristall’s Poetical Sketches, Isaac de Benserade’s Iphis et Iante, and Alessandro Verri’s Le Avventure di Saffo.
