Summary
Eve Levin: Sexuality and society among Orthodox Slavs from the 10th to the 18th century. veka
This monograph, so far the only one of its kind, is the result of many years of research in the libraries of Moscow, Belgrade, Sofia, Petrograd and many other American Byzantine and Slavic centers. Her study draws material both from well-known sources that are available to almost everyone (biographies, legal codes, monastic canons, stories, chronicles, writings of holy fathers, etc.), as well as from often unpublished manuscripts, court records of proceedings and unknown traditions and testimonies. The book is therefore full of fascinating information about our social history. Sexuality is one of the most interdisciplinary research areas imaginable - it deals with law and legal regulations, sociology (social and family organizations), historically inherited representations, ethnology and anthropology, religion and psychology, medicine and psychiatry, biopolitical strategies in accordance with the economic aspirations of individual societies... Eva Levin moves sovereignly through most of these areas, using professional works on this issue dedicated to better researched medieval Western European societies, in some she is quite cautious, and in others, quite wisely, she does not enter. Despite the academic discourse, the extensive scientific apparatus and the author's erudition, the book is written in an accessible way and is not addressed only to the professional public.
