The Frail Social Body: Pornography, Homosexuality, and Other Fantasies in Interwar France Volume 36 Paperback - 2000 - 1st Edition
by Carolyn J. Dean
First line
How did interwar commentators reconceive the meaning of pornography such that it thematized new fears about sexual deviance and more generally, moral decline?
From the rear cover
"This innovative and important work demonstrates the growing importance of homosexuality and pornography in the Western concept of bodily integrity from the 1880s to World War II. It is a wise 'think piece' about uncharted historical terrain--the most desirable kind of scholarship."--Bonnie G. Smith, author of The Gender of History: Men, Women, and Historical Practice
"In this fascinating book, Carolyn Dean forces us to rethink many of our basic assumptions about pornography, homosexuality, and sexual rights. She brings together a vast repertoire of sources and places these eclectic materials at the very center of contemporary debates over the relationship between sexuality and society."--Bryant T. Ragan, coeditor of Homosexuality in Modern France
