Orgasmus na Západě
ISBN: 9788025743614 / Czeski / 2024 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Dějiny rozkoše jsou dějinami slasti, individuální, mnohdy nesdělitelné, nepopsatelné, skryté, jindy naopak tabuizované. Dějiny orgasmu jsou ale zároveň kulturním fenoménem, který podléhá kolektivní zkušenosti, jež se během staletí proměňuje. Muchembled zkoumá sociálně a kulturně podmíněné proměny vztahu společnosti i jedinců k rozkoši v dlouhé časové perspektivě od 16. do 20. století. Při své analýze vychází především z literárních pramenů, egodokumentů i zdrojů vizuálních. Jeho vhled do dějin rozkoše je rovněž analýzou tabu a...

Orgasm and the West: A History of Pleasure from the 16th Century to the Present
ISBN: 9780745638751 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Can the orgasm be explained in historical terms? An almost incommunicable individual emotion yet also a cultural reality, the orgasm is part of, but also escapes, collective experience. The history of the orgasm is that of the hidden body, of forbidden desires, of flesh constrained by taboos and morality. Buried deep in archives and libraries, the documents that shed light on this physical, sometimes libertine, life are nevertheless surprisingly plentiful and have a surprisingly evocative charge. Robert Muchembled's book unearths fascinating sources which suggest that we need to look with a...

A History of Violence: From the End of the Middle Ages to the Present
ISBN: 9780745647470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Violence is so much in the news today that we may find it hard to believe that it is less prevalent than it was in the past. But this is exactly what the distinguished historian Robert Muchembled argues in this major new work on the history of violence. He shows that brutality and homicide have been in decline since the thirteenth century. The thesis of a 'civilizing process', of a gradual taming, even sublimation, of violence, seems, therefore, to be well-founded.
How are we to explain this decline in public displays of aggression? What mechanisms have modernizing societies employed to... Violence is so much in the news today that we may find it hard to believe that it is less prevalent than it was in the past. But this is exactly what ...

Cultural Exchange in Early Modern Europe
ISBN: 9781107412804 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 466 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Cultural exchange, the dynamic give and take between two or more cultures, has become a distinguishing feature of modern Europe. This was already an important feature to the elites of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and it played a central role in their fashioning of self. The cultures these elites exchanged and often integrated with their own were both material and immaterial; they included palaces, city-dwellings, paintings, sculptures, ceramics, dresses and jewellery, but also gestures, ways of sitting, standing and walking, and dances. In this innovative and...
