4.9/5 (33851 ratings)

Description:In ancient Greek culture, the cult of beauty always occupied a prominent position; that is to say, no attempt was ever made to cover up the erotic features of culture; and this applies not only to the idealized sense of the word, but also to its physical aspects. Let us think of the conversations in Plato's Feast. It is a profound insight, worthy of philosophers, that Eros is a motive force which exerts a crucial influence on human decisions, relationships and attitudes. In this sense, one can hardly deny its existence - even if we are dealing with an invisible, playful and youthful "divinity." Thus the idea of Eros is an element of culture that is present and is at work, acting as a motive force. It appeared at the dawn of man's symbol-creating activity, so, at least, the testimony of the first available data suggests. The volume contains more than twenty papers on Eros, sexuality and gender representation in the folklore of different peoples of the world.Contents:Eros and Culture: A Foreword / Mihaly Hoppal --Sexual Life and Erotic Symbolism in Antiquity / Erika Szepes --Orgy Accusations in the Middle Ages / Gabor Klaniczay --The Heart Story / Vilmos Voigt --Adam and Eve: Myths of the Creation of Eros / Ilona Nagy --The Erotic Tradition in Russia: Pushkin and his Fairy-Tale "Czar' Nikita" / Dagmar Burkhart --The Symbol of Desire and Deceptive Happiness / Tekla Domotor --Lovers Under the Tree / Kincso Verebelyi --Nakedness, as the Negation of Eros / Mihaly Hoppal --Research on Slovak Erotic Folklore / Eva Krekovicova, Gabriela Kilianova --The Mermaid--Folklore in Fiction / Aija Janelsina-Priedite --Sexual Riddles--Folk Eroticism / Annikki Kaivola-Bregenhoj --The World of the Erotic Story: Formal Elements, Values and Performance / Ulf Palmenfelt --Erotic Metaphor in Occupational Songs / Gerald Porter --Erotic Folktales of the Bulsa in Northern Ghana / Sabine Dinslage --Eros in the Family ...
