Alice Dreger focuses on events in France and Britain in the late nineteenth century, a moment of great tension for questions of sex roles. While feminists, homosexuals, and anthropological explorers openly questioned the natures and purposes of the two sexes, anatomical hermaphrodites suggested a deeper question: just how many human sexes are there? Ultimately hermaphrodites led doctors and scientists to another surprisingly difficult question: what is sex, really? Hermaphrodites and the Medical Invention of Sex takes us inside the doctors' chambers to see how and why medical and scientific men constructed sex, gender, and sexuality as they did, and especially how the material conformation of hermaphroditic bodies--when combined with social exigencies--forced peculiar constructions. Throughout the book Dreger indicates how this history can help us to understand present-day conceptualizations of sex, gender, and sexuality. This leads to an epilogue, where the author discusses and questions the protocols employed today in the treatment of intersexuals (people born hermaphroditic). Given the history she has recounted, should these protocols be reconsidered and revised? A meticulously researched account of a fascinating problem in the history of medicine, this book will compel the attention of historians, physicians, medical ethicists, intersexuals themselves, and anyone interested in the meanings and foundations of sexual identity.IntersexualityTreatmentFranceHistory19th centuryIntersexualityTreatmentGreat BritainHistory19th centuryIntersexualityTreatmentFranceHistory20th centuryIntersexualityTreatmentGreat BritainHistory20th centuryIntersexualityTreatmentUnited StatesIntersexualityPsychological aspectsSex (Psychology)Electronic books.IntersexualityTreatmentHistoryIntersexualityTreatmentHistoryIntersexualityTreatmentHistoryIntersexualityTreatmentHistoryIntersexualityTreatmentIntersexualityPsychological aspects.Sex (Psychology)616.694Dreger Alice Domurat922160MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454859703321Hermaphrodites and the medical invention of sex2069301UNINA04173nas a2200661 i 450099100281682970753620231114120935.0011205m19489999it || | |ita 0036-4711b11712090-39ule_instPERLE008011ExLCDU 1CDU 2SapienzaSapienza :Rivista internazionale di filosofia e di teologia diretta dai Domenicani d'Italia. - 1948-Milano - Roma, Napoli,1948-Codice CNR: P 00058435LE002 1961-2009;2011- lac: 1966;LE005 1968-1972;1974;1993- lac.: 1968-1969;1971-1972;1974;LE022 1966-1967;1970;1972;1974;LE020 2009-.b1171209019-12-1208-07-02991002816829707536LE0201le020-E0.00-no 180000.i1498454418-06-09LE02120091le021nE57.00-n- 180000.i1498455618-06-09LE02120081le021pE63.00-n- 180000.i1511683923-04-10LE02120101le021pE63.00-n- 180000.i1511682723-04-10LE02120111le021nE70.00-n- 180000.i1529700712-07-11LE005 MF Per 0671le005-E0.00-no 180000.i1412466x09-09-05LE005a. 19681le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521566029-12-10LE005a. 19691le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521565929-12-10LE005a. 19701le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521561129-12-10LE005a. 19711le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521562329-12-10LE005a. 19721le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521563529-12-10LE005a. 19741le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521564729-12-10LE005a. 19931le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521567229-12-10LE005a. 19941le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521568429-12-10LE005a. 19951le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521569629-12-10LE005a. 19961le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521570229-12-10LE005a. 19971le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521571429-12-10LE005a. 19991le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521572629-12-10LE005a. 20001le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521573829-12-10LE005a. 20011le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521574x29-12-10LE005a. 20021le005nE0.00-n- 180000.i1521575129-12-10LE005A. 2003 1le005nE0.00-no 180000.i1194882608-07-02LE005A. 2004 1le005nE30.00-no 180000.i1351266321-04-04LE005a. 20051le005nE34.00-no 180000.i1412467109-09-05LE005a. 20061le005nE37.00-no 180000.i1423492012-05-06LE005a. 20071le005nE39.00-no 180000.i1457314305-10-07LE005a. 20081le005nE40.00-no 180000.i1472969618-04-08LE005a. 201012005000301551le005nE45.00-n- 180000.i1521379127-12-10LE002 SP 1001le002-E0.00-no 180000.i1194881408-07-02LE002a. 2004 1le002nE20.00-no 180000.i1353914015-06-04a. 2005 1le002nE50.00-no 180000.i1407708526-05-05LE0221le022-E0.00-no 180000.i1194883808-07-02Bibbia.
