İthaki Yayınları History of Prostitution –In Antiquity and in the Middle Ages–

Product description

Prostitution or vice is a phenomenon that has existed throughout human history, often subjected to moral condemnation but also an integral part of social order.

according to many, it is even one of the “oldest professions in history”. This short but intense and important work, written by radical intellectual and writer leo markun, who adopted the ideal of disseminating knowledge to the public in the early 20th century, aims to reveal the transformations experienced by obscenity in history.

Starting from the sacred prostitutes who served on behalf of the goddesses in mesopotamia, it describes the hetairas in ancient greece, who were both part of cultural and intellectual life, the complex and surprising genealogy system of the roman empire regulated by laws, male prostitutes, home life, romantic relationships, and ultimately women who were trying to exist under the oppressive moral regimes of medieval europe.

within the conditions of each period, it reveals the meanings that fuhşa has loaded, and also analyzes how this profession has been attempted to be supervised, suppressed or regulated and exploited by the state throughout history.

By conveying the control mechanisms established on the female body, the roles of religion and the state in this regard, class differences and women's life struggles in simple but impressive language, she offers not only a history but also a thought-provoking reading experience on social morality, power and sexuality.
