Współczesne przemiany intymności w świetle historii seksualności Michela Foucaulta
Abstract
This article discusses relations between Foucault’s history of sexuality
and the contemporary transformations of eroticism diagnosed by
Wojciech Klimczyk. The Klimczyk’s studies are interpreted in the
perspective of theoretical tools provided by Foucault and seem to lead
to an interesting conclusions. Peculiarity of those conclusions is
especially connected with the fact that they are opposite to the
diagnosis provided by Brian McNair and Anthony Giddens. Simply
speaking, Giddens and McNair claim that contemporary intimacy is
emancipated from most of regulations and contains a high amount of
freedom, while Klimczyk (with theoretical support of Foucault) argues
that nowadays sexuality is strongly regulated by the outside conditions,
especially by the market.
