Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Victorian era was a time of sexual repression, and the image of the imperial prude is emblazoned on our restrained, mute, and hypocritical sexuality. The Victorian regime supported a Victorian regime.
#2 Repression is the characteristic feature of Victorian society, which distinguishes it from the prohibitions maintained by penal law. Repression is the practice of making something disappear by driving it out, denying it, and silence it.
#3 We are told that modern sexual repression is the result of a long history of repression, dating back to the classical age. The history of sex is transposed into the history of the modes of production, and its minor aspect is ignored.
#4 The speaker’s benefit of speaking about sex in terms of repression is that it allows them to transgress the law and speak about it, which gives them a sense of freedom.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The Victorian era was a time of sexual repression, and the image of the imperial prude is emblazoned on our restrained, mute, and hypocritical sexuality. The Victorian regime supported a Victorian regime.

#2

Repression is the characteristic feature of Victorian society, which distinguishes it from the prohibitions maintained by penal law. Repression is the practice of making something disappear by driving it out, denying it, and silence it.

#3

We are told that modern sexual repression is the result of a long history of repression, dating back to the classical age. The history of sex is transposed into the history of the modes of production, and its minor aspect is ignored.

#4

The speaker’s benefit of speaking about sex in terms of repression is that it allows them to transgress the law and speak about it, which gives them a sense of freedom.

#5

The notion of repressed sex is not only a theoretical matter. The affirmation of a sexuality that has never been more subjugated than during the age of the hypocritical, bustling bourgeoisie is coupled with the grandiloquence of a discourse that claims to reveal the truth about sex, modify its economy within reality, and change its future.

#6

I would like to examine the case of a society that has been loudly castigating itself for its hypocrisy for more than a century, and speak of its silence. I would like to explore not only these discourses but also the will that sustains them and the strategic intention that supports them.

#7

There are three main doubts concerning the repressive hypothesis. First, is sexual repression truly an established historical fact. Second, do the workings of power actually belong primarily to the category of repression. Third, did the critical discourse that addresses itself to repression come to act as a roadblock to a power mechanism that had operated unchallenged up to that point, or was it part of the same historical network as the thing it denounces.

#8

I am not trying to prove that sex has not been prohibited or barred or misapprehended since the classical age. I am trying to show that the prohibition of sex is a ruse to make prohibition into the basic and constitutive element from which one would be able to write the history of what has been said concerning sex starting from the modern epoch.

#9

I would like to analyze the instances of discursive production, which are the production of power, the propagation of knowledge, and the administration of silences. I would like to write the history of these instances and their transformations.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The seventeenth century was the beginning of an age of repression that was typical of the bourgeois societies. Sex was renamed and censored, and there was a policing of statements. But at the same time, there was a proliferation of discourses concerning sex in the field of power itself.
