The terrible hours of the Sacred: sexuality and death, taboo West
Nico Carlucci
Sex is inexorably linked to the death. This was true in the past, but so is the present and you can not say! Sex and the Sacred world of death and taboo act and become frenzied in cultures.
With this writing the web that is born will browse a few pages of the West, to watch his step by step this story because, as my field of study I chose the white man.
Dead plants and rituals
I read from newspapers that the Church is currently involved in the scandal of pedophilia in many countries. It seeks to run for cover. Last but not least are the starring some of the clergy who guarded Belgian, Residence in Mechelen, child pornography on the monster Martinelli, Marc Doutroux. This was the rapist and murderer of children which are a symbol of purity in religion.
becomes urgent, then, by the ecclesiastical institutions to see what has happened and to include the case by, say, clear. In Italy
justice cries the murder of Luke Young, Elisa Claps, whose body has rested for 17 years in the attic of a church in power and nobody knew. Even in this case the truth comes out, the clergy are in turmoil. There where lies the body of the girl who died after violence killed, there are the remains of sexual consumption, the shadows of other physical relations as evidenced by the traces of semen found on the spot, close to the body of Elisa in advanced decomposition.
Sex, female-massacre, death. Teens violated! Sex-world of the sacred-religion-gap opens in the hereafter that mysterious abyss.
erotic games after his death he had studied in Lucan Ernesto De Martino in a classic of anthropology: Death and mourning ritual dirge from the tears of Mary that deserves to be reread groped for a better understanding.
Popes and sex
Rotary cut, now also the essay by Eric Frattini just been released: Popes and sex: From St. Peter to Benedict XVI , two thousand years of good harvests and bad sermons: stories of popes gay, pedophiles, married, incestuous, perverse (Milan, A. Salani Editore, 2010).
In it the author stresses the behavior "unbecoming" of Holy Mother Church, his own misdeeds in the context of sexuality. The Popes are pronounced sex that is practiced by many of them to deny it afterwards.
But the Church, you know, does not like sexual innuendo on the conduct of its representatives.
Eric Frattini and his book speaks of the supreme pontiffs and their vices, at least seventeen popes were pedophiles, incestuous ten, nine rapists. It continues with the popes gay concubinari, transvestites, sadists, masochists, some of which even canonized. Frattini writes: "No religion in the world has ever discussed sexual intimacy such as Catholicism, imposing, however, her code of sentencing and zero tolerance for unmarried couples, abortion, homosexuality.
Many popes of the past, therefore, were men who have sex despite the official condemnation. The journalist gives us an interesting guide. But while well documented in his essay does not explore the feminine, its connection with sexuality-death-power-sacred. His is a job that lacks the level of interpretation because in the end the reader finds himself at the point of departure. But on this return.
"Come, I will show thee the condemnation of the great prostitute, who sits in the great waters."
Sex becomes death experience, but for most it is not so because the obvious cultural acting out. The apex of its expression, orgasm, France is "the petite mort, "precisely because it is with that stretch the boundaries of your body and you venture into an" infinitely large ":" Babylon the great, dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones pearl ... "(Revelation 17: 1-5).
In Ancient Egypt the mourners of death were topless. Yes, topless, full of femininity explanatory primordial meanings.
Going forward in time we find the macabre dance of death, the Middle Ages, the Black Lady who serves as the protagonist of the stellar night. Balla, brings tales of sexual life.
In the funeral of Malagasy Madagascar spree hits the "obscene" in the Guests are welcome during the ritual. To the natives of these events are necessary because the deceased is in a state of isolation and "aloneness". During the dark hours the girls dance, sing, the males join them. Orgy nights, intimate relations between the sexes that there are days.
Today, the "Love Parade" in Duisburg in Germany put on a leaflet written clearly "Dance or Die." And in her tribal dance die, alas, 21 young people in the world, the rhythmic pulse of techno music.
But sex was the vehicle of contagion fears of generations and are thus encoded into the film D. Croeneberg, director "existential." And again, the cemetery of Jim Morrison, the transgression of the Pere-Lachaise in Paris, where "rest" Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Maria Callas and others between everyday life and eroticism as evidenced by the anthropologist Michael Giampaoli.
So if these meanings are, we see the removal of sexuality and obscenity that brings because it speaks of death, fear of humans. Isolated from a popular religious historian Alfonso Di Nola sums up what I write: "There is dead without rice." So
dances, ritual orgiastic, never ended a relationship with the afterlife. This is still true despite talk of sexual liberation. Femininity is
submission of the victim and possession of sacrifice and loss of the teenager while living the "game" of old age by means of a body in metamorphosis.
conclude. You can invent all with different rules? I do not know!
