Anxious Pleasures
By:Thomas Gregor
Published on 1987-01-15 by University of Chicago Press
|Good fish get dull but sex is always fun.| So say the Mehinaku people of Brazil. But Thomas Gregor shows that sex brings a supreme ambiguity to the villagers' lives. In their elaborate rituals—especially those practiced by the men in their secret societies—the Mehinaku give expression to a system of symbols reminiscent of psychosexual neuroses identified by Freud: castration anxiety, Oedipal conflict, fantasies of loss of strength through sex, and a host of others. |If we look carefully,| writes Gregor, |we will see reflections of our own sexual nature in the life ways of an Amazonian people.| The book is illustrated with Mehinaku drawings of ritual texts and myths, as well as with photographs of the villagers taking part in both everyday and ceremonial activities.
