Unheroic Conduct: The Rise of Heterosexuality and the Invention of the Jewish Manvolume 8
ISBN: 9780520210509 / Angielski / Miękka / 433 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Western notion of the aggressive, sexually dominant male and the passive female reaches back through Freud to Roman times, but as Boyarin makes clear, such gender roles are not universal. Analyzing ancient and modern texts, he reveals early rabbis--studious, family-oriented--as exemplars of manhood and the prime objects of female desire in traditional Jewish society....
