| Sommario/riassunto: | Amid the national shame and subjugation following World War I in France, cultural critics there--journalists, novelists, doctors, and legislators, among others--worked to rehabilitate what was perceived as an unhealthy social body. Carolyn J. Dean shows how these critics attempted to reconstruct the ""bodily integrity"" of the nation by pointing to the dangers of homosexuality and pornography. |
