Emphasizing the peculiar, the perverse, the clandestine and the
scandalous, this volume opens up a critical discourse on sexuality
and visual culture in early modern Italy. Contributors consider not
just painted (conventional) representations of sexual activities
and eroticized bodies, but also images from print media, drawings,
sculpted objects and painted ceramic jars. In this way, the volume
presents an entirely new picture of Renaissance sexuality,
stripping away layers of misconceptions and manipulations to reveal
an often-misunderstood world. 'Sex acts' is interpreted broadly,
from the acting out, or performing, of one's (or another's) sex to
sexual activity, including what might be considered, now or then,
peculiar practices and preferences and a variety of possibly
scandalous scenarios. While the contributors come from a variety of
disciplinary backgrounds, this collection foregrounds the visual
culture of early modern sexuality, from representations of sex and
sexualized bodies to material objects associated with sexual
activities. The picture presented here nuances our understanding of
Renaissance sexuality as well as our own.
