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.

更新我xing知识的同时,argue about how scientific research is manipulated by cultural notion..作者只是太critical thinking所以容易令人confused
评分读了部分和review。
评分很快地重讀了一下,這才真的注意到Laqueur幾乎沒有談到中世紀的狀況,似乎預設從Galen到文藝復興基本上是沒什麼變化的,難怪會引發中世紀學者的批評。可以搭配著看的書是Joan Cadden的The meanings of sex difference in the middle ages.
评分经典就是经典嘛。研究18世纪以前西方对于身体的“哲学”和18世纪以后西方对身体的“科学”,从不学术的角度看着挺奇幻小说的
评分Theorising Gender 1 - Essential Reading 打卡
