Turning Freud's famous dictum around, Thomas Laqueur posits that destiny is anatomy. Sex, in other words, is an artifice and "Making Sex" tells the story of sex in the west from the ancients to the moderns. The reader cannot fail to recognize the players in Laqueur's story - the human sexual organs and pleasures, food, blood, semen, egg, sperm - but the reader will be amazed at the plots into which they have been woven by scientists, political activists, literary figures, and theorists of every discipline. The book looks at how our predecessors, including physicians and scientists, thought about anatomy and analyzes our ideas on gender.

Theorising Gender 1 - Essential Reading 打卡
评分呵……词汇真丰富……
评分首尾两章扫过。“Basically the content of talk about sexual difference is unfettered by fact, and is as free as mind's play." one-sex model to two sexes/genders
评分"Chapter 2. Destiny is Anatomy." Rich materials and logical flaws. Can't persuade me about the one-sex model // 上课讨论时说到此书问世后又出了许多反one-sex model的研究成果,而Laqueur对他们的回应是“that's not important”"mine is dominant",对Helen King的Hippocratic corpus的研究他从来没正面回应过。又得知Laquer并不懂古希腊语和拉丁语,他的研究Aristotle都是看的英语翻译,其中关于两性的语言学证据已经流失了(Helen King指出)
评分读完第一章,一查作者果真是伯克利出来的。
