In Bodies and Boundaries, Hans Fehlinger examines how clothing, nudity, and modesty influence love, marriage, and identity across cultures.

Drawing on ethnographic observations, the book traces why people wear or go without clothing, and how those choices relate to social rules, gender, and power.

See why clothing sometimes marks protection from weather or a social signal, not just modesty.
Learn how different cultures regulate marriage, sexuality, and kinship through exogamy and class systems.
Discover how puberty, rites, and body norms shape relationships and family life.
Understand the balance between natural human instincts and the rules societies build around them.

Ideal for readers curious about cross-cultural customs, social norms, and the ways bodies are kept, displayed, or concealed in everyday life.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

To most lay people the established order of sex relationships and marriage seems something so selfevident and stable that they cannot conceive the possibility of a variation in the established order. Yet here, as in all things, the law of evolution applies. Our sexual system is the outcome of a long continuous series of changes beginning with the very dawn of human history. To understand the modern sex problem rightly it is essential to know its origin and gradual development. Most of the material about the sex life of primitive people is inaccessible to the ordinary reader, being hidden away in learned treatises and ponderous scientific works. The translators are, therefore, glad to have found in Fehlinger sbook a short comprehensive outline of the subject, which may serve as a convenient introduction. S. H. F. H. MANCHESTER, Julyy

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the sexual habits of primitive people. It challenges the common belief that marriage has always been practiced by primitive people and that casual and promiscuous mating has only recently emerged. The author, an expert in sexual anthropology, provides evidence of sexual freedom before marriage and the relative lack of importance given to marital fidelity in many primitive societies. Drawing on examples from diverse cultures around the world, the book presents a fascinating and thought-provoking insight into the evolution of human sexual behavior. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781440064555_0
