Download or read book Invers o Sexual 2 O Estudo da Invers o Sexual written by Havelock Ellis and published by INDEX ebooks. This book was released on 2012-04-11 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A primeira edição integral em português do clássico de Havelock Ellis sobre homossexualidade. No final do século XIX, Ellis teve a coragem de publicar abertamente um estudo detalhado e desapaixonado sobre a problemática da inversão sexual, que recentemente havia condenado Oscar Wilde à prisão e nos séculos anteriores classificara os culpados do "nefando pecado" como hereges e degenerados. No 2º capítulo, Ellis identifica os principais autores, percursores do estudo da homossexualidade, fazendo breves resenha dos seus pontos de vista e das suas principais obras. "Em 1894, Edward Carpenter publicou privadamente em Manchester um panfleto intitulado Homogenic Love, em que criticou várias teses correntes da psiquiatria sobre a inversão e alegou que as leis do amor homossexual são semelhantes às do amor heterossexual salientando, porém, que o primeiro possui uma aptidão especial para ser exaltado a um nível mais elevado e mais espiritual de camaradagem, desempenhando assim uma função social benéfica. Mais recentemente, em 1907, Edward Carpenter publicou um volume de artigos sobre a homossexualidade e os seus problemas, com o título The Intermediate Sex e mais tarde, em 1914, um estudo mais especializado sobre os invertidos na religião primitiva e na guerra, que intitulou de Intermediate Types among Primitive Folk." De fundamental importância para os estudiosos do tema (sexólogos, antropólogos, médicos, psiquiatras), esta obra é acessível e interessante para todos os que queiram aprofundar o seu conhecimento sobre esta temática.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A primeira edição integral em português do clássico de Havelock Ellis sobre homossexualidade, publicado pela INDEX ebooks. No final do século XIX, Ellis teve a coragem de publicar abertamente um estudo detalhado e desapaixonado sobre a problemática da inversão sexual, que recentemente havia condenado Oscar Wilde à prisão e nos séculos anteriores classificara os culpados do "nefando pecado" como hereges e degenerados. No 6º capítulo, Ellis analisa as diversas teorias da inversão sexual: adquirida vs congénita?, uma anomalia?, uma degeneração?, uma doença?, uma mutação?, e outras, mantendo o mesmo nível de riqueza de exemplos e fontes a que nos habituou nos capítulos anteriores. Nas próprias palavras de Ellis: "O que é a inversão sexual? Será, como muitos nos querem fazer acreditar, um vício abominável, adquirido, destinado a ser suprimido pela prisão? ou será, como alguns afirmam, uma variedade benéfica do leque de emoções humanas que deve ser tolerada ou mesmo acarinhada?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A INDEX ebooks publica a primeira edição integral em português do clássico de Havelock Ellis sobre homossexualidade. No final do século XIX, Ellis teve a coragem de publicar abertamente um estudo detalhado e desapaixonado sobre a problemática da inversão sexual, que recentemente havia condenado Oscar Wilde à prisão e nos séculos anteriores classificara os culpados do "nefando pecado" como hereges e degenerados. No 3º capítulo, Ellis apresenta um grande número de casos reais de indivíduos homossexuais e bissexuais, muitas vezes relatados pelos próprios. Trata-se de um interessantíssimo retrato da homossexualidade no final do século XIX, rico de detalhes, esclarecedor mas, por vezes, emocionante e pungente, como no caso dos extratos seguintes: "E a tragédia do nosso destino é que nós, cujas almas vibram apenas ao leve toque da mão de Eros, somos confrontados com o tabu mais feroz, que inibe muito do que poderia dar sentido às nossas vidas. Todos os outros tabus foram ultrapassados um por um. Será que também este, o último dos tabus, desaparecerá em breve? Sei de vidas assombradas por ele, enfraquecidas por ele, esmagadas por ele. Quanto tempo mais irão os moralistas ocidentais mutilar, estigmatizar e perseguir o que não compreendem?" "Mas no que respeita à minha esperança de melhorar, ir para o Mercy ou para o Inferno vai dar ao mesmo. Sou totalmente incorrigível, completamente incurável e absolutamente insuportável. Em casa, cheguei a pensar que estava curado, mas foi um erro de que me apercebi quando me encontrei com Clifford na passada quinta-feira e fiquei pior que nunca no que se refere à minha paixão por ele. Só o Céu pode saber o quanto tenho tentado transformar-me numa criatura decente, mas a minha vileza é incontrolável e seria preferível, talvez, desistir e morrer".

Download or read book Reading Literature in Portuguese written by Claudia Pazos Alonso and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This collection brings together textual commentaries on thirty representative works of literature in Portuguese - either complete poems or extracts from longer works - ranging from the medieval lyric of the 13th century, through the poetry and drama of the Portuguese Renaissance, the great Realist novels of the nineteenth century, early twentieth century Modernism and post-1974 writings through to the present day, while also including examples of 19th- and 20th- century Brazilian literature. The authors chosen - poets, dramatists and novelists - are generally regarded as iconic writers, and the three most famous canonical Portuguese authors (Luis de Camoes, Fernando Pessoa, Jose Saramago) are featured, but the texts selected for commentary strike a balance between a focus on well-known and lesser-studied works. All the primary texts are reproduced in Portuguese, sometimes in original editions, with English translations added for the majority. The contributors variously explicate and contextualise the works they present, some focusing on hidden meaning, others on philological aspects of editing, others on their historical, intellectual and philosophical context, and others still on the process of translation itself. All, however, aim to develop the art of reading, for the benefit of scholars and students alike. Stephen Parkinson and Claudia Pazos Alonso are members of the Sub-Faculty of Portuguese at Oxford University, and editors of the Companion to Portuguese Literature (Tamesis, 2009)."

Download or read book The Tenacity of the Couple Norm written by Sasha Roseneil and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm explores the ongoing strength and insidious grip of couple-normativity across changing landscapes of law, policy and everyday life in four contrasting national contexts: the UK, Bulgaria, Norway and Portugal. By investigating how the couple-norm is lived and experienced, how it has changed over time, and how it varies between places and social groups, this book provides a detailed analysis of changing intimate citizenship regimes in Europe, and makes a major intervention in understandings of the contemporary condition of personal life. The authors develop the feminist concept of ‘intimate citizenship’ and propose the new concept of ‘intimate citizenship regime’, offering a study of intimate citizenship regimes as normative systems that have been undergoing profound change in recent decades. Against the backdrop of processes of de-patriarchalization, liberalization, pluralization and homonormalization, the ongoing potency of the couple-norm becomes ever clearer.

Download or read book Beyond Carnival written by James N. Green and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001-12 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many foreign observers, Brazil still conjures up a collage of exotic images, ranging from the camp antics of Carmen Miranda to the bronzed girl (or boy) from Ipanema moving sensually over the white sands of Rio's beaches. Among these tropical fantasies is that of the uninhibited and licentious Brazilian homosexual, who expresses uncontrolled sexuality during wild Carnival festivities and is welcomed by a society that accepts fluid sexual identity. However, in Beyond Carnival, the first sweeping cultural history of male homosexuality in Brazil, James Green shatters these exotic myths and replaces them with a complex picture of the social obstacles that confront Brazilian homosexuals. Ranging from the late nineteenth century to the rise of a politicized gay and lesbian rights movement in the 1970s, Green's study focuses on male homosexual subcultures in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. He uncovers the stories of men coping with arrests and street violence, dealing with family restrictions, and resisting both a hostile medical profession and moralizing influences of the Church. Green also describes how these men have created vibrant subcultures with alternative support networks for maintaining romantic and sexual relationships and for surviving in an intolerant social environment. He then goes on to trace how urban parks, plazas, cinemas, and beaches are appropriated for same-sex erotic encounters, bringing us into the world of street cruising, male hustlers, and cross-dressing prostitutes. Through his creative use of police and medical records, newspapers, literature, newsletters, and extensive interviews, Green has woven a fascinating history, the first of its kind for Latin America, that will set the standard for future works. "Green brushes aside outworn cultural assumptions about Brazil's queer life to display its full glory, as well as the troubles which homophobia has sent its way. . . . This latest gem in Chicago's 'World of Desire' series offers a shimmering view of queer Brazilian life throughout the 20th century."—Kirkus Reviews Winner of the 2000 Lambda Literary Awards' Emerging Scholar Award of the Monette/Horwitz Trust Winner of the 1999 Hubert Herring Award, Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies

Book excerpt: This book gathers the most recent research findings on ecology and conservation of marine vertebrates in Latin America, making use of high technological methods to show readers the diversity of the marine research that has been conducted in these countries over the last decades. The book brings authors from more than 23 institutions of 7 different countries developing the most diverse research aiming at ocean conservation through the ecology of different vertebrate animals, such as whales, dolphins, manatees, turtles, seabirds and fish. This book deals with technological advances and innovation in the ecology and conservation of marine vertebrates in Latin America. This eclectic collection is broad in scope but provides detailed summaries of new methods that are deployed in the study of marine environmental conservation. Key issues revolve around the development and application of educational methodologies in the field of marine vertebrate research, which provide a rational basis for better management of marine environments using modern techniques associated with GIS, satellite tracking, aerial systems, bioacoustics, biogeochemistry, genetics, underwater videography, species photoidentification, molecular biology, trophic ecological methods, ethological methods, and behavioural ecology, among others. Discussion and elucidation of these kinds of techniques are aimed at university-level students and post-graduate researchers. The scope of this volume includes whales, sharks, rays, dolphins, tropical fishes, turtles, manatees as well as aspects of Latin American marine ecosystem conservation. Researchers in this biogeographic region, as well as others involved with marine vertebrate research, will find this work essential reading.
