Жената престъпничка и проститутка

Rate this book
В своя скандален шедьовър "Жената престъпничка и проститутка" Чезаре Ламброзо разглежда особата от женски пол по отношение на три неща: любовта, проституирането и престъпността.

Обект на внимание са такива теми като: любов и лудост, история на проституцията, вродената женска престъпност, самоубийствата при жените и др.

Тази книга е уникална, тя е първата сериозна книга в областта на криминалната антропология и на криминалната психология, която специално е посветена на женския пол, като се интересува главно от жените престъпнички и от жените проститутки.

Включва резултати от изследвания, измервания, анализи и проверки на хипотези относно особеностите и патологията на женската психика, както и описание на огромен брой конкретни случаи на проституция и престъпност.

Запознаването с произведението на Чезаре Ломброзо, въпреки умишлено създадената у нас отрицателна обществена нагласа към криминалната антропология, би било от съществена полза за всеки, който без предубеждения и без предразсъдъци би искал да разбере някои от скриваните истини за човека и обществото.

About the author

Cesare Lombroso

192 books47 followers
Italian criminologist, physician, and founder of the Italian School of Positivist Criminology. Lombroso rejected the established Classical School, which held that crime was a characteristic trait of human nature.

Instead, using concepts drawn from physiognomy, early eugenics, psychiatry and Social Darwinism, Lombroso's theory of anthropological criminology essentially stated that criminality was inherited, and that someone "born criminal" could be identified by physical defects, which confirmed a criminal as savage, or atavistic.

not rating this. instead going to highlight these two baddies:

“I have seen a woman of eighty years who masturbated with a brass crucifix. Another old woman filled her vulva with knives…“

Outdated trash was almost laughable because of the stupid statements it was making. The fact that it was written 120 years ago should not be an excuse for this abortion.

quite honestly the worst thing I've ever read. utterly obsessed.

some fave lines:

Watching people on a public walkway, I noted that out of 560 women, 9 were of a completely degenerative type.

Primitive woman was rarely a murderer; but she was always a prostitute.

Everyone knows that the sight of suffering makes us men suffer pangs of sympathy; and we cannot help sufferers if we, too, have spasms of pain.

In brothels, women hold competitions, betting on who has the most beautiful sexual organs; naturally this ends up in lesbianism.

I read the whole book, and although I disagree with almost everything that he says, I have truly enjoyed my reading and I believe this is a very interesting book.

Nonostante sia del 1893 e, di conseguenza decisamente datato sotto ogni punto di vista e assolutamente sessista (Lombroso non aveva nemmeno un buon rapporto con le donne, anzi) credo sia decisamente interessante da leggere, visto che è stato scritto dal padre della criminologia ed è il primo a parlare di donne delinquenti.

Можливо, на XIX ст. ідеї були прогресивними, або новаторськими, але мені не вистачило отієї витонченості в аргументації, яка є у Вейнінгера, який будучи євреєм вмів з винятковою огидою паплюжити євреїв та людину. Але, тим не менш, книга не найгірша. Слабка 4, або міцна 3. Поставив першу оцінку все-таки. Бо книга розважила.

Despite the fact I don't agree with most of the ideas, in general the book is recommended for reading to see what kind of attitude the author had towards women (a pretty denigrating one).
