Soft Cover. Condizione: As New. First Edition. Subtitle : 'Medical Science and the Construction of Sexual Identities in the Early Republican Period'. With the disintegration of Confucian cosmology after the fall of the imperial system in China, medical science was introduced as the epistemological foundation for social order. The construction of sexuality as a dangerous drive which was thought to form the very core of an individual led to the emergence of a wide range of identities. The roots of such modernizing representations, however, appear to have been drawn from China's past as much as from discourse with the West. This study is based on medical and lay texts such as handbooks, marriage guides and texts on physiology and sexual hygiene. An epilogue shows how the sexual identities invented early in the 20th century are still in place in China today. A new/unread copy. Size: 22 x 14 cm. Codice articolo 000516
