Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"The topic is absolutely central: the body and sexuality throughout history. It is a major contribution to the study and history of sexuality. It has a solid historical-comparative sweep, and is written with a conviction and a power that is compelling." -- Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois

"This book takes up a theme important to the postmodern crisis -- what is the sacred, and what does it do? It locates the sacred in direct line with everyday life and the orderliness of society." -- John O'Neill, York University, Toronto

Reseña del editor:

Maffesoli presents a powerful argument for understanding everyday life by examining the passional logic that animates the social body. He asserts that the "circulation of sexuality," as much as the circulation of goods and services or language, is a structural component of sociality. By examining the dionysian adventure (passion, bonds of shared emotion, communal feeling), he redefines the problems of sociality and the strong hedonistic ethics present in contemporary daily life.
