Beschreibung

An ethnological and sociological reflection is lead by Professor Döpp on this fascinating matter that brings to the most incongruous revelations. Beyond our cultural and religious upbringings, women and men pursue their fantasies, which the author tries to unravel with the rigour of a scientist for the pleasure of our eyes and of our mind.

NOTES

In Praise of

THE BACKSIDE

Our arses shall be symbols of peace

Behind-thoughts[1] on the realm of the moons of flesh

For Jürgen Lentes

The arse is the proletariat of body parts. It is condemned to namelessness; we search the dictionaries in vain for suitable expressions. At most, the common or vulgar expression serves as a term of abuse. The gesture of showing the bare behind is interpreted as obscene and shocking. Sometimes it is the despised location where punishment is administered. Its presence is characterised by passivity. The work ethic internalised in bourgeois society places passivity, indolence and inactivity under a taboo, from the aesthetic point of view as well. Thus the posterior became an obscene part of the body, especially when its indolence is emphasised by the growth of adipose tissue.[2] The rear-end represents worthlessness within the framework of the body; it is held to be the most soulless part of the body and thus has every reason to groan sometimes, deeply and wordlessly.
