The sexual revolution: an evocative term, but what meaning can be given to it today? How does "sexuality" come into being, and what connections does it have with the changes that have affected personal life more generally? In answering these questions, the author disputes many of the dominant interpretations of the role of sexuality in modern culture. The author suggests that the revolutionary changes in which sexuality has become cauth up are more long-term than generally conceded. He sees them as intrinsic to the development of modern societies as a whole and to the broad characteristics of that development. Sexuality as we know it today is a creation of modernity, a terrain upon which the contradictory tendencies of modern social life play themselves out in full. Emancipation and oppression, opportunity and risk--these have become a part of a heady mix that irresistably ties our individual lives to global outcomes and the transformation of intimacy. We live today in a social order in which, for the first time in histroy, women are becoming equal to men--or at least have lodged a claim to such equality as their right. The author does not attempt to analyze the gender inequalities that persist in the economic or political domains, but instead concentrates on a more hisdden personal area in which women--ordinary women, in the course of their day-to-day lives, quite apart from any political agenda--have pioneered changes of greate, and generalizable, importance. These changes essentially concern an exploration of the potentialities of the "pure relationship," a relaitonship that presumes sexual and emotional equality, and is explosive in its connotations for pre-existing relations of power. The author analyzes the emergence of what he calls plastic sexuality--sexuality freed from its intrinsic relation to reproduction--in terms of the emotional emancipation implicit in the pure relationship, as well as women's claim to sexual pleasure. Plastic sexuality is decentered sexuality, freed from both reproduction and subservience to a fixed object. It can be molded as a trait of personality, and thus become bound up with the reflexivity of the self. Premised on plastic sexuality, the pure relationship is not exclusively heterosexual; it is neutral in terms of sexual orientation. The author speculates that the transformaion of intimacy might be a subversive influence on modern institutions as a whole, for a social world in which the dominant ideal was to achieve intinsic rewards from the company of others might be vastly different from that which we know at the present.
民主观:每个个人都应尊重他人的能力;不滥用权威和武力,以保证决策的协商性;个人参与决定相互联系的条件;个人能有效地实现其目标。这样的目标,国人需要付出怎么样的努力才能实现呢?
评分 评分对我来说,这本书是块难啃的骨头,花了一个多基本上每天读那么一点点。可能是初次读这样的书,但是作为一本翻译过来的书,感觉书中好多翻译的词汇都不是生活中常用的,这大大增加到了理解难度。再加上我有强烈的注意力难以集中症。总的来说也就只读懂了百分之二十吧。 ...
评分吉登斯在本书中对性的讨论由鲁宾和金赛的研究成果引出,他们两人针对诸如手淫、口交、同行恋等倒错性行为的研究使得“性”得以受到全方位的关注。吉登斯在书中说道:“‘性’在今天得以被发现、开发和用于不同生活方式的发展。它已是我们每一个人都‘拥有’或培养的东西...
