The Reinvention of Obscenity: Sex, Lies, and Tabloids in Early Modern France
ISBN: 9780226141411 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The concept of obscenity is an ancient one. But as Joan DeJean suggests, its modern form, the same version that today's politicians decry and savvy artists exploit, was invented in seventeenth-century France.
"The Reinvention of Obscenity" casts a fresh light on the mythical link between sexual impropriety and things French. Exploring the complicity between censorship, print culture, and obscenity, DeJean argues that mass market printing and the first modern censorial machinery came into being at the very moment that obscenity was being reinvented that is, transformed from a minor...

Ancients Against Moderns: Culture Wars and the Making of a Fin de Siecle
ISBN: 9780226141381 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As the end of the century approaches, many predict our fin de siecle will mirror the nineteenth-century decline into decadence. But a better model for the 1990s is to be found, according to Joan DeJean, in the culture wars of France in the 1690s the time of a battle of the books known as the Quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns.
DeJean brilliantly reassesses our current culture wars from the perspective of that earlier fin de siecle (the first to think of itself as such), and rereads the seventeenth-century Quarrel from the vantage of our own warring "ancients" and "moderns." In... As the end of the century approaches, many predict our fin de siecle will mirror the nineteenth-century decline into decadence. But a better model for...

Fictions of Sappho, 1546-1937
ISBN: 9780226141367 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Considering Sappho as a creature of translation and interpretation, a figment whose features have changed with social mores and aesthetics, Joan DeJean constructs a fascinating history of the sexual politics of literary reception. The association of Sappho with female homosexuality has made her a particularly compelling and yet problematic subject of literary speculation; and in the responses of different cultures to the challenge the poet presents, DeJean finds evidence of the standards imposed on female sexuality through the ages. She focuses largely though not exclusively on the French...
