Thomas Walter Laqueur

    Thomas W. Laqueur es un historiador, sexólogo y escritor estadounidense cuyo trabajo profundiza en las historias culturales del cuerpo y la sexualidad. Examina cómo las comprensiones sociales del sexo y la intimidad han evolucionado a lo largo de los siglos, desde la antigüedad hasta la era moderna. Sus análisis descubren las intrincadas conexiones entre los conceptos biológicos, las normas sociales y las experiencias individuales. El enfoque de Laqueur ofrece una visión profunda de cómo hemos construido nuestra comprensión de la corporeidad humana y la identidad sexual.

    The making of the modern body : sexuality and society in the nineteenth century
    • Scholars have only recently discovered that the human body itself has a history. Not only has it been perceived, interpreted, and represented differently in different epochs, but it has also been lived differently, brought into being within widely dissimilar material cultures, subjected to various technologies and means of control, and incorporated into different rhythms of production and consumption, pleasure and pain. The eight articles in this volume support, supplement, and explore the significance of these insights. They belong to a new historical endeavor that derives partly from the crossing of historical with anthropological investigations, partly from social historians' deepening interest in culture, partly from the thematization of the body in modern philosophy (especially phenomenology), and partly from the emphasis on gender, sexuality, and women's history that large numbers of feminist scholars have brought to all disciplines.
