English | 2021 | ISBN: B09CQBX7P1 | 4 hours and 57 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 134 Mb
There is a common misconception that sex, love, and marriage in medieval and early modern Europe followed very specific, inflexible rules and expectations that remained unchanged for centuries. But the boundaries of matrimony, sexuality, and romantic relationships have always been complicated, and the rules surrounding them are forever changing.
Throughout the 10 lectures of Sex, Love, and Marriage from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment, you will find that looking closer at marriage and sexuality in this period reveals a vibrant history of flexibility, of questioning and adaptation, and of evolutionary – and sometimes even revolutionary – change. With Professor Jennifer McNabb, you will explore these crucial aspects of the human experience as they were formed and transformed in the centuries that stretched between the Roman adoption of Christianity and the emergence of the Enlightenment. Along with the more traditional aspects of sex and marriage, you will also examine:The Christian church’s complex relationship with sex and celibacyThe experience of the unmarried or formerly married in a marriage-driven societyProstitution and commercialized sexThe realities vs. the fiction of forbidden love and unrecognized unionsThe rise of companionate marriageHow the Protestant Reformation altered the sexual and matrimonial landscapeAnd more

Syria, Libya, and Yemen have become "crisis states," where warlords vie against governments and each other. The economies of Iran, Turkey, and Lebanon, weakened by corruption, sanctions, and neoliberal economic policies, have imploded. Some states have doubled-down on repression, while others intervene in the internal affairs of their neighbors with impunity.
