Abstract:

Abstract This article revisits the Marxist anticolonial feminist writings of Urdu author Ismat Chughtai through a materialist exploration into how the female body—with its erotic curvatures and grotesque protuberances, its sticky and viscous textures and fluids—becomes the focalized object of what the author terms the erotics of disgust. Chughtai is perhaps most famous for her being tried for obscenity in 1942 for her most famous short story, “The Quilt” (“Lihaaf”), which narrates a young girl’s encounter with the erotic relationship of a middle-class Muslim woman and her female servant. As Chughtai herself recounts, however, she was acquitted because the prosecution could never point to the exact words that were to be considered obscene. The author argues that we read Chughtai’s extraordinary inquiries into the imbrication of desire and disgust as the visceral sites of gender discipline, as the question of the “modern” Muslim female citizen subject hangs in the balance of an emergent Indian nationhood. The author offers a queer feminist critique of the traditional phenomenology of disgust by analyzing the codes of erotic texture produced out of histories of colonial hygiene and bourgeois sexual discipline in late colonial India.

Abstract:

Two nineteenth-century Balinese genres in which the erotic predominates are epic kakawin poetry and tutur (religious manuals) on sexual yoga. The article points to the strong intertextual links between these diverse genres. Through their focus on practical sexual matters and on the pursuit of sexual pleasure as integral to spiritual growth, tutur and kakawin also offer insight into notions of gender and sexuality in nineteenth-century Bali.

Abstract:

Purpose. The article analyses the features of the erotic narrative of I. A. Bunin in his cycle Dark Alleys, which became a phenomenon in Russian classical literature – a kind of artistic “encyclopedia of love”, written in defiance of ethical and ideological prohibitions.Results. Erotica in this cycle is presented in descriptions of the physiology of sex and sexual communication. The research examines 209 contexts extracted from the cycle. They describe actions of a sexual nature, including violent or commercial ones, human physiology and anatomy (59 contexts), which determine human sexual behavior. The writer widely uses various methods of euphemization of erotic meanings: synonymous replacements, generalization techniques, allusion, ellipsis, silence. Quantitative data show that the main speech strategy in the Bunin cycle is silence, which is implemented in a whole series of stylistic tropes and figures. I. A. Bunin uses a diverse arsenal of units of the lexical, lexico-morphological and syntactic levels. Euphemisms appear in areas of maximum erotic tension. With their help, the author reduces the “emotionogenicity” of erotica in accordance with his own ideas about the boundaries of what is acceptable and permissible.Conclusion. In the vertical context of Russian culture, I. Bunin’s erotic narrative, his restraint and precision in the choice of linguistic means, the deliberate exclusion of naturalism and reduced style serve to preserve harmony in the triad “LOVE – PASSION – SEX”. The Bunin language of Dark Alleys can be considered a classic standard of the sacrament of physical love, which the writers of the 20th century were guided by, accepting or rejecting it.

Abstract:

In Book 19, chapter 9 of the Nodes Atticae Gellius describes the birthday party of a young Greek of equestrian rank at which a group of professional singers entertained the guests by performing poems by Anacreon, Sappho, ‘et poetarum quoque recentium ⋯λεγεῖα quaedam erotica’ (4). After the singing, Gellius goes on, some of the Greek συμπόται present challenged Roman achievements in erotic poetry, excepting only Catullus and Calvus, and criticized in particular Laevius, Hortensius, Cinna, and Memmius. Rising to meet this charge, Gellius’ teacher of rhetoric, Antonius Julianus, admits the superiority of the Greeks in what he calls ‘cantilenarum mollitiae’ in general (8), but to show that the Romans too have some good erotic poets, he recites four early Latin love epigrams, by Valerius Aedituus (frs. 1 and 2), Porcius Licinus (fr. 6), and Lutatius Catulus (fr. I). The same three poets are listed in the same order in Apuleius’ Apology in a list of amatory poets which he provides in order to establish precedents and thus invalidate his prosecutors’ referral to his erotic poems in their accusation (Apul. Apol. 9). Catulus is also enumerated in Pliny's list of Roman dignitaries who composed ‘uersiculos seueros parum’ like his own (Ep. 5.3.5), and an amatory epigram of his is cited by Cicero in De Natura Deorum 1.79 (fr. 2). We possess no further evidence connecting the other two with the composition of either erotic or, more generally, ‘light’ verse, but a poem by Porcius Licinus on Roman literary history is attested by several sources including Varro, Suetonius, and Gellius himself.

Abstract:

Anyone who experienced the late 20th century remembers the astonishing sexualization of Bulgarian culture that erupted with the first steps of the longed-for democracy. Bulgarian literature likewise took an active part in this process. It used the erotic narrative as a sign of its own ability to evolve; it tried to tie up the broken ties with the modernism between the two world wars, emulating American writers such as Henry Miller and Charles Bukowski. The article examines the work of those writers who revived the erotic narrative in Bulgarian literature in the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century. It looks at the different genres of their writing: from the mass literature on mafia-and-crime themes through the attempt of the former emigrant Dimitar Bochev to become the “Bulgarian Bukowski” to the socially oriented novels of young at that time authors such as Palmi Ranchev and Stefan Kisyov. What all these authors have in common is their desire to become famous and marketable by reproducing the sexist Balkan model of male-female relations. Women’s Writing offered an alternative to this kind of literary erotica, which gained strength after the mid-1990s and found realization in the work of writers such as Silvia Choleva, Miglena Nikolchina and Emilia Dvorianova. The second part of the article is devoted to the erotic imagery in the work of Viktor Paskov. It traces its development from his earliest works (“Infantile Murders” and “Martina”) through the novel “Germany – a Dirty Tale” to his last book, “Autopsy of a Love”.

Abstract:

Abstract This article highlights the link between travel and erotics as a literary trope, exemplified by Johannes V. Jensen’s story ”Louison” (1899). ”Louison” describes the short-lived affair between a male traveller and a loose woman. From their first encounter on a Parisian boulevard, loaded with baudelairian esthetics, to their sudden parting after a day and a night spent together, their relationship is made possible by the anonymity of the modern city and by the condition of modernity. The erotic encounter in Jensen’s story is inextricably connected — like in Baudelaire — to the modern urban backdrop against which it unfolds. In Jensen’s story, the erotics of travel feeds into the ”myth of Paris”: far from being merely the story of an erotic encounter, ”Louison” is also the vivid description of a fin-de-siècle Paris, swarming and buzzing with constant, multiple energies that unify in a totality elevated to the dimensions of ”myth” — a word charged with significance in Jensen’s work.

Abstract:

By seeking the impossible goal of full understanding, the translator as a maximally engaged reader seeks the plenitude of another's words as a surrogate of the elusive Other. Translation as at once a physical, mental, and emotional attempt fully to understand another's utterances thus constitutes a process of complete engagement characterized by the desire for knowledge. Such desire can be deemed erotic inasmuch as it hopes to dissolve the customary separation of minds and attain oneness of understanding. A particular moment in the English translation of Umberto Eco's Il nome della rosa involving the translation of a description of an erotic body part introduces the erotics of translation more broadly. Evidence from the translation journals of Eco's translator William Weaver, as well as Eco's own remarks on translation, are brought to bear. Thereafter discussion moves into more theoretical material, including George Steiner's key observations on translational erotics, and finally addressing three further ‘moments’: a linguistic appropriation of Georges Bataille's erotism, Augustine's account of language acquisition, and the matter of the bodily translation of the biblical Enoch.

Abstract:

The present paper “The Phenomenon of Erotic Fiction in Latvian and World Literature” is devoted to the fiction genre acquiring immense popularity in Western literature while having attracted only fragmentary attention in Latvian literary scholarship, namely the erotic fiction, which is currently among those genres of literature most widely read among Latvian readers and therefore titled as somewhat phenomenal. The first part of the paper provides insight into the history of the erotic world literature and the most common division of the genre into the three basic categories; this part also provides a short overview of the erotic aspects in the Latvian original fiction during the 20th century. It has been possible to decide that the erotic prose has had only a limited representation in Latvian literature, mainly due to historical and socio-political factors, because the common tendency was to euphemise the said aspects, which were often met with an open reproach of the more Puritan part of the society. Erotic aspects in poetry and prose somewhat flourished during the epoch of Decadence (the first decade of the 20th century) and after that, only during the turn of the 20th/21st centuries when the prohibitions invoked by the Soviet censorship were lifted. Nevertheless, even during these periods, the more free approach resulted in only a few prose works of this kind or else episodes in works of other genres. The conclusive part of the paper is devoted to four novels by currently the most popular author of erotic romance in Latvian literature, Karīna Račko, inviting at the same time the discussion about the reasons for the popularity of these novels which might proceed from their common structural characteristics. It is possible to observe that the novel’s structures are notably similar to the basic plotlines of fairy-tales that the readers recognise on an archetypal level. Consequently, this makes it possible to view these novels as a sort of fairy-tales for modern grown-ups whose attraction is multiplied by the fact that the texts include specific aspects of visualisation that make it possible for the readers to identify closely with the characters.

Abstract:

Audre horde reopened the question of the position of the erotic with respect to both knowledge and power in her 1983 essay “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power.” This is not a new question in the philosophical literature; it is a very old one. What is different about Audre Lorde's examination of Eros is that she starts with a decidedly lesbian conception of Eros, in marked contrast to other Western philosophers’ work.

Abstract:

Abstract: This article examines a distinct trend in illustrated editions of the Heptaméron , which date back to 1698 but become increasingly common starting in the 1860s. Whereas illustrated Heptamérons from the second half of the nineteenth century tend to foreground displays of passion in the nouvelles and foster a nostalgic vision of France’s medieval past, around the turn of the twentieth century, they go in a direction that specialists of Marguerite might find surprising. The collection could not be considered pornographic or even obscene by today’s standards or those of its time, and if Marguerite foregrounds erotic desire, it is because it is an indelible part of the postlapsarian human condition. However, erotic desire becomes an end in and of itself in illustrated Heptamérons beginning with the fin de siècle . From this point on, the majority of illustrated Heptamérons may be classified as erotica: material designed to provide sexual stimulation but accompanied by more or less lofty artistic ambitions and marketed to wealthy men with bibliophilic inclinations. In other words, there exists alongside the tradition of scholarly editions of the Heptaméron a tradition in which the collection essentially becomes high-class pornography. I will consider what these illustrated editions teach us about erotica in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as about how Marguerite’s magnum opus has been understood and received outside of academia.

Abstract This paper fleshes out the relationship of the third-century alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis and his colleague, Theosebeia, which was later dramatized in the Book of Pictures, an illustrated Arabic manuscript (thirteenth century) that depicts the couple crowned with the sun and moon, representing various alchemical processes. Their relationship provides an important window into the historical development of erotic themes in alchemical literature. I argue that there is an erotics of pedagogy at work in this text, rooted in alchemical allegories of the fusion of male and female substances and Islamic notions of the initiatory relationship between teacher and student.

Abstract:

This research was conducted to see the attitudes of student-employees at the undergraduate level towards the implementation of erotic capital in their workplaces and without a large implementation of this erotic capital is built up in the world of work, especially the recruitment of an employee. The literature review in this study originates from the concept of erotic capital or sexual capital from Hakim (2010), namely: beauty, sexual attractiveness, social skill, liveliness, social presentation, sexuality, and fertility. A descriptive survey research was used for this study with 295 student-employees as respondents who answered the questionnaire proposed by the researcher. Simple percentages are used for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that of the 7 indicators of erotic capital, only liveliness was addressed by student-employees both cognitive, behavior and affective. Meanwhile, social skills are only addressed in a cognitive manner and sexual attraction is addressed in an affective manner. The rest is treated as something that is not needed in an employee. So erotic capital actually exists and is considered when recruiting an employee at a company in Indonesia.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 global pandemic has significantly disrupted people’s social lives and dating habits. Research has shown a substantial increase in the consumption of erotic and pornographic material during periods of isolation, including narratives focused on quarantine, illness, and even the personification of the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself as a potential sexual partner. This article considers the latter manifestation of coronavirus-related erotica, focusing on the four-part e-book series, Kissing the Coronavirus, by M. J. Edwards. This article will demonstrate that as a speculative fiction subgenre, works of erotica are worthy of scholarly examination as individual texts, avoiding the tendency to consider such works only in bulk. Kissing the Coronavirus provides an insight into the confusing realities of living during a global pandemic in which knowledge about the virus rapidly changed and fear of infection and continued isolation were constant stressors impacting health and wellbeing.

Abstract:

In this interview, femi babylon elaborates a proheaux womanist theory of erotic labor as at once work and antiwork. “Sex work is work” speaks to the realities of erotic labor as a survival strategy and illuminates the connections among erotic labor and other forms of gig work. At the same time, it can operate as a bid for respectability, and one that occludes erotic labor as a strategy for refusing the work ethic. Thinking through the politics of the survival sex/sex work binary, the (dis)connections among wives and whores, and the intersections of whorephobia and misogynoir in conversations about sex worker motherhood, babylon engages key points of debate in sex worker theory today.

Full text

Abstract:

INTRODUCTIONVery soon after I began working on the identity of magic-workers in classical antiquity, I realized that it was necessary to come to terms with a thesis about depictions of erotic magic-working in Greek and Roman literature. It asserted that male writers engaged in a systematic misrepresentation of the realities of magic-working in portraying erotic magic as an exclusively female preserve; the reality was that men were the main participants in this form of magic-working. The thesis is based on the supposition that the truth about erotic magic and the people who performed it is to be found in the formularies or spell-books preserved in papyrus and indefixiones.These two sources of information are said to show us that erotic magic was performed by men and not by the women who are the persons depicted engaging in love-magic in literature. The scholar who first presented the thesis was the late John Winkler. A version of it is to be found in Fritz Graf's general account of Greek and Roman magic. There is agreement over what are taken to be the facts, but views diverge over their interpretation. Winkler appeals to the Freudian notion of denial and transference to offer an explanation not only of the discrepancy between life and literature, but of what he took to be the belief held by the young men who cast erotic spells that the girls who were the objects of their spells were as sexually eager as they were: men, when overwhelmed by sexual desire for unattainable women, through a process of denial transfer that feeling to women, whether old or young, whom they fondly imagine suffer the same intense sexual longings as themselves.

Abstract:

This essay explores Black queer feminist readings of the sexual politics of James Baldwin’s Another Country. Recent work at the intersection of queer of color critique and Black feminism allows us to newly appreciate Baldwin’s prescient theorization of the workings of racialized and gendered power within the erotic. Previous interpretations of Another Country have focused on what is perceived as a liberal idealization of white gay male intimacy. I argue that this approach requires a selective reading of the novel that occludes its more complex portrayal of a web of racially fraught, power-stricken, and often violent sexual relationships. When we de-prioritize white gay male eroticism and pursue analyses of a broader range of erotic scenes, a different vision of Baldwin’s sexual imaginary emerges. I argue that far from idealizing, Another Country presents sex within a racist, homophobic, and sexist world to be a messy terrain of pleasure, pain, and political urgency. An unsettling vision, to be sure, but one that, if we as readers are to seek more equitable erotic imaginaries, must be reckoned with.
