A Modern History of Sex: Perversion
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- What is a perversion? This talk starts by exploring psychiatric and sexological debates about perverted sexual desires from the late nineteenth century textbooks to diagnostic manuals in the twenty-first century. It looks at the role of law, morality, and medicine. Who has the power to decide what sexual acts are 'normal' or 'abnormal'? By what mechanisms do sexual practices move from one category to the other? How have people labelled 'perverse' effectively challenged their status in society?

I was raised by my mother, my aunt and my grandmother. They were not sufficient to the task of instructing a 12 year old boy about the birds and the bees. A large book was laid out where I would be sure to find it. It was< "Psychopathia sexualis (1886, Kraft Ebing), They meant well but it all went over my head. Looking back 60 years it struck me as strange for them to think that this would educate me.
True story...
When no word or word group exists to describe a phenomenon it obviously can't be classified. Excellent presentation.
More examples of social groups forcing their beliefs on individuals. Nothing more than bullying. How to create a nurturing environment so an individual can discover their OWN dispositions WITHOUT coercion and environmental bias should really be the focus. The only crimes should be ones where there is not consent or where harm to others is engendered. Today, all we have is just a continuing shouting match between fractious groups all trying to enforce their own beliefs on others, thus just continuing the wheel of abuse.
well. our own dispositions, even in their authenticity in extreme, are always somewhat both a product and in a relation with the abstract opinion-environment, so strict ruling out one from the other is not a way to go, tho i deeply sympathize with your general notion that this relationship is distorted and often enters more as a brutal totality into individual rather then another object(self-aware to its own place and function in society, and with systems of feedback from that society, hopefully) to encounter

This came up after watching lecture on digging up Richard the 3rd …
Strange algorithms!
Yes and women are pure and innocent. Yeah. Right
The DSM came about as a hodge podge of opinions not scientific analysis
Such an engaging lecturer! A perfect balance between enthusiasm and clarity (personally, I can usually just master the one but not the other;)). :)
understandable balance hardship, very familiar! (the clarity and enthusiasm thing)

54:00 The audience member who asked a question towards the end: From whatever little he spoke-or maybe the way he spoke-it seemed to me that he might be a little misinformed.
- He implied that intolerance of homosexuality started with Christianity. Fact: Leviticus predates Christianity by several centuries.
- He also appeared to imply that Christianity and other monotheistic religions have replaced earlier polytheistic religions. Fact: The third largest religion in the world today-Hinduism-remains polytheistic.
BTW, Prof. Bourke didn't mention this: Adherents of certain sects in the Hindu and Jain religions don't wear clothes even in public. It's a part of their religious beliefs and has nothing to do with exhibitionism.
Based response
Agreed (tho historically, Christianity is just a renegade Jewish sect gone viral. What too about those societies living in climates where clothing is minimal to nonexistent (physical protection of the genitals apart). Or was so til missionaries imposed European clothing, Christianity, and 19th century European morality?
@@jimbodriver1015 🤣 I didn't mention Prof. Bourke until the last para!
I'm guessing, today must be the 3-in-1 _'arrive after the party's over, misunderstand the context, and belabor an obvious but unrelated point'_ mega-festival on your calendar? 🙄
