Neuware - What do pregnant women dream of for nine months Do they think of the child to be born, or do their thoughts go to the child they once were Why is it that'some women have always desired motherhood, while others never become mothers or, if they do, it is almost by chance, without them making a conscious decision Why is it that the child's date of birth often coincides with the birthday of a close friend or family member Maternity is too often presented in ideal terms or as the object of practical, reassuring advice on pregnancy and birth. Based on her clinical experience in a maternity hospital, Monique Bydlowski shows how the current normative thinking, which has been energetically picked up by the media, glosses over the reality of pregnancy and perhaps intentionally minimises the dark or unconscious forces that are at work in the creation of a child.Monique Bydlowski is a doctor, a neuropsychiatrist and a psychoanalyst. For the last twenty years, she has been working, as a psychanalyst, in the maternity ward of a Parisian hospital.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Les femmes ont-elles une âme Les philosophes en ont longtemps douté, refusant aux femmes l'accès à la rationalité. Mais, en même temps, ils n'ont su penser l'âme qu'à l'aide de métaphores féminines: l'âme conçoit, elle est grosse de connaissances, elle accouche dans la douleur et la détresse, mais toujours avec l'aide de quelqu'un. Lisant les textes classiques à la manière de Derrida, les déconstruisant en portant le regard sur leurs à-côtés, sur ce qui paraît anecdotique, comme autant de lapsus révélateurs, Giulia Sissa nous conduit à nous interroger sur les attributs exclusivement féminins de l'âme occidentale. Cette lecture suggestive et rigoureuse est un questionnement radical de la différence des sexes, qui nous conduit au plus profond de notre culture. Giulia Sissa est professeur de littérature et de civilisation grecques à l'Université Johns Hopkins de Baltimore. Elle a publié Le Plaisir et le Mal, aux Éditions Odile Jacob.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Mammals have two olfactory organs: the olfactory mucus and the vomeronasal organ, which was discovered at the beginning of the nineteenth century. For long, it was believed that the latter did not serve any purpose in humans. Then in 1949, certain substances were discovered, at first in insects, which could act on the vomeronasal organ by direct contact. Known as pheromones, these substances are regarded as essential for communication between animals of certain species. Since 1970, it has been known that they play a vital role in human sexual desire and in the control of reproduction.Claude Aron explains that the olfactory attraction between sexual partners is a universal phenomenon, even if its role among humans is more limited than among other mammals. In animal species the role of pheromones has not been curbed by centuries of social conditioning. Olfactory attraction functions regardless of the gender of the sexual partners which raises the question: Are pheromones proof of our natural bisexuality Claude Aron, a specialist in reproductive physiology, is an honorary professor at the University Louis-Pasteur in Strasbourg. He is the author of La Bisexualité et l ordre de la nature.
