"The Erotic: Approaches to a Cultural Contextualisation" by ed. Koen De Temmerman

Critical Issues project ‘The Erotic’, Volume 5

This book is the result of a three day international conference, entitled “The Erotic: Exploring Critical Issues” (May 2004). This reader provides a broad and varied image of the different approaches, adopted throughout the conference, towards the concept of the ‘erotic’ and renounces from offering a cohesive or systematic theory of it.

Accordingly, none of the five parts of which this reader consists, claims to offer an exhaustive or systematic overview of its specific area. They rather provide an anthology of concrete ways of tackling (a certain aspect related to) the erotic within a specific approach.
