Héritier, Françoise. Two sisters and their mother: the anthropology of incest. Translated by Jeanine Herman. New York: Zone Books, 2002, 341pp., PAPERBACK, very good copy, rear top corner bent, BUT old price crossed out in red ink on half-title, several remainder stripes on bottom foredge, dot on top foredge. Rear cover text: "anthropologist Francoise Héritier charts the incest prohibition throughout history from the strict decrees of Leviticus to modern civil codes. Through close and subtle readings, Heritier exposes the frequent, but often overlooked, elaborations concerning what she calls a secondary type of incest, namely, the prohibition of two close blood relatives engaging in sexual intercourse with a third person. Héritier not only understands this phenomenon to be as universal as the more classical "first" type of incest banning sexual relations between certain blood relatives; she advances the controversial thesis that the first type may indeed be an outgrowth of the secondary type of incest, once it is understood properly as the transfer of bodily fluids in a love triangle of sexual partners, two of whom are related to each other.". 9780942299342 ISBN 0942299345.…

Edited and with an introduction by Lynn Hunt. Essays by Paula Findlen, Joan DeJean, Rachel Weil, Margaret C. Jacob, Lucienne Frappier-Mazur, Kathryn Norberg, Randolph Trumbach, Wijnand W. Mijnhardt, and Lynn Hunt. Includes contributor biographies and index. "In this groundbreaking collection of essays, historians and literary theorists examine how, between 1500 and 1800, pornography emerged as a literary practice and a category of knowledge intimately linked to the formative moments of Western modernity and the democratization of culture. The first modern writers and engravers of pornography were part of the demimonde of heretics, freethinkers and libertines who constituted the dark underside of the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. From the start, early modern European pornography used the shock of sex to test the boundaries and regulation of obscene behavior and expression in the public and private sphere. As such, pornography criticized and even subverted political authorities as well as social and sexual relations." -- publisher''s statement Fine. Covers and contents clean and unmarked.

very good dust-jacket with small tear at top of rear panel, foxing on reverse, very good black cloth, only light foxing on top foredge, appears little used if at all. PARK, KATHARINE. Secrets of women: gender, generation, and the origins of human dissection. New York: Zone Books, 2006, 419pp., . Toward the end of the Middle Ages, medical writers and philosophers began to devote increasing attention to what they called "women's secrets," by which they meant female sexuality and generation. At the same time, Italian physicians and surgeons began to open human bodies in order to study their functions and the illnesses that afflicted them, culminating in the great illustrated anatomical treatise of Andreas Vesalius in 1543. Katharine Park traces these two closely related developments through a series of case studies of women whose bodies were dissected after their deaths: an abbess, a lactating virgin, several patrician wives and mothers, and an executed criminal. Drawing on a variety of texts and images, she explores the history of women's bodies in Italy between the late thirteenth and the mid-sixteenth centuries in the context of family identity, religious observance, and women's health care. Secrets of Women explodes the myth that medieval religious prohibitions hindered the practice of human dissection in medieval and Renaissance Italy, arguing that female bodies, real and imagined, played a central role in the history of anatomy during that time. The opened corpses of holy women revealed sacred objects, while the opened corpses of wives and mothers yielded crucial information about where babies came from and about the forces that shaped their vulnerable flesh. In the process, what male writers knew as the "secrets of women" came to symbolize the most difficult challenges posed by human bodies-- challenges that dissection promised to overcome. Park's study of women's bodies and men's attempts to know them--and through these efforts to know their own--demonstrates the centrality of gender to the development of early modern anatomy. 9781890951672 ISBN 1890951676. …

very good black cloth. SAHLINS, PETER. 1668: the year of the animal in France. New York, Cambridge, Massachusetts ; London, England: Zone Books, Distributed by the MIT Press, 2017, 491pp., . Peter Sahlins's brilliant new book reveals the remarkable and understudied "animal moment" in and around 1668 in which authors (including La Fontaine, whose Fables appeared in that year), anatomists, painters, sculptors, and especially the young Louis XIV turned their attention to nonhuman beings. At the center of the Year of the Animal was the Royal Menagerie in the gardens of Versailles, dominated by exotic and graceful birds. In the unfolding of his original and sophisticated argument, Sahlins shows how the animal bodies of the menagerie and others were critical to a dramatic rethinking of governance, nature, and the human. The animals of 1668 helped to shift an entire worldview in France -- what Sahlins calls Renaissance humanimalism toward more modern expressions of classical naturalism and mechanism. In the wake of 1668 came the debasement of animals and the strengthening of human animality, including in Descartes's animal-machine, highly contested during the Year of the Animal. At the same time, Louis XIV and his intellectual servants used the animals of Versailles to develop and then to transform the symbolic language of French absolutism. Louis XIV came to adopt a model of sovereignty after 1668 in which his absolute authority is represented in manifold ways with the bodies of animals and justified by the bestial nature of his human subjects. 1668 explores and reproduces the king's animal collections -- in printed text, weaving, poetry, and engraving, all seen from a unique interdisciplinary perspective.
