Thomas Walter Laqueur Poradie kníh
Thomas W. Laqueur je americký historik, sexológ a spisovateľ, ktorého diela sa hlboko ponárajú do kultúrnych dejín tela a sexuality. Skúma, ako sa spoločenské chápanie pohlavia a intimity vyvíjalo v priebehu storočí, od antiky až po modernú dobu. Jeho analýzy odhaľujú zložité väzby medzi biologickými konceptmi, spoločenskými normami a individuálnymi skúsenosťami. Laqueurův prístup ponúka prenikavý pohľad na to, ako sme si formovali naše chápanie ľudskej telesnosti a sexuálnej identity.

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.
