    Social-Nudism.Pdf

    www.all-about-psychology.com PRESENTS I. THE TABOO OF THE HUMAN BODY The wide-spread taboo attaching to the human body is a noteworthy phenomenon of social psychology. Clothing is worn, not merely for protection or for adornment, but to conceal various parts of the body from view. Clothes are not needed for protection in swimming, gymnastics, tennis and certain other sports, nor in rhythmic dancing. In most of these diversions there can be no question of adornment; in some cases garments interfere with the purpose of the activity; in some they may even be detrimental to health. Yet social pressure compels the wearing of some clothing in all these pursuits. This taboo of the body is fairly universal. It is found among savage and civilized races alike, and prevails in all climates. Most investigators in this field have been interested in the origin of clothing rather than in the rise of the taboo. The two problems are distinct, though closely related. The origin of the impulse to cover the body has been variously explained by different writers. It has been attributed to the need of protection from cold, insects, dampness, excessive heat, rough soil, thorns, evil spirits, etc.; or to the craving for adornment, especially in order to promote sexual attraction. A number of writers ascribe the origin of clothing to a primitive modesty instinct, which would make the body taboo a native or inherent trait of the human race. J. C. Flügel (1) reviews these conflicting theories at length. The reader is referred to his monograph and the sources which he cites for full treatment of the topic.
  • The Roosevelt Myth

    The Roosevelt Myth

    THE ROOSEVELT MYTH BY JOHN T. FLYNN (1948) Flynn was a political reporter who supported the populist objectives of FDR early in his career but became an ardent critic later on, as he saw the blunders and corruption of the Roosevelt administration covered up by a compliant press. FDR was always portrayed as a peace-loving populist on the side of the "little guy" while many of his advisors were war mongers, communist sympathizers, and agents of Wall Street. This expose is a much needed corrective to the 'myth' of Roosevelt populism.

    SEEING INDIA: A Hyperreal Yoga Fantasy by Rebecca Elizabeth Long Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of Anthropology, the Department of Art, and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts December, 2016 Dana E. Powell, Ph.D., Thesis Director Heather Waldroup, Ph.D., Second Reader Christina Sornito, Ph.D., Third Reader Sushmita Chatterjee, Ph.D., Fourth Reader Timothy Smith, Ph.D., Honors Director, Department of Anthropology James Toub, Ph.D., Honors Director, Department of Art Ted Zerucha, Ph.D., Interim Director, The Honors College ABSTRACT How does the yoga studio present India for viewing? As a yoga scholar-practitioner, I examine visual, linguistic, and embodied representations of India at a local yoga studio to address this question. The fieldwork for this ethnographic thesis spans yoga classes, yoga teacher training, and a two-week pilgrimage to India with members of this yoga studio. I pay special attention to bhakti yoga, a devotional form of yoga taught by the yoga studio as a way to offer a more spiritual and therefore more authentic yoga. Placing my experiences within a critical understanding of postcolonial yoga history, I show that yoga has been constructed to meet various ideologies and political projects, challenging the production of yoga as India’s pristine and unchanging cultural icon. I find that India is exhibited as an ultra-spiritual, pre- colonial, anti-modern location both at the yoga studio and when traveling as a yoga tourist. Using Jean Baudrillard’s theory of the hyperreal, along with postcolonial theories, I argue that the yoga studio creates a particular India for consumption that is not based in reality but is instead the product of oriental fantasies.

  • A Brief History of Nakedness

    A Brief History of Nakedness

    Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) A Brief History of Nakedness Review Number: 948 Publish date: Wednesday, 1 September, 2010 Author: Philip Carr-Gomm ISBN: 9781861896476 Date of Publication: 2010 Price: £19.95 Pages: 286pp. Publisher: Reaktion Books Place of Publication: London Reviewer: Joseph Melling The history of nakedness deserves a serious history. For organised nudism or ‘naturism’ was a conscious movement initiated by Europeans at the end of the 19th century that has exerted a significant influence over society and politics in the wider world. This book is not that serious academic history. In one respect its aim is much more ambitious. For its author is a psychologist, psychotherapist and popular writer, guided by a strong commitment to libertarian values. In the manner of a Jungian auteur, he undertakes a polymath survey of attitudes to the naked body across thousands of years. Carr-Gomm retains an abiding interest in the magical, mystical and religious values that absorb the first third of his book as he takes us on a colourful caravan across the centuries of Asiatic and European history. These bright threads of experience show how the hippie culture of the 1960s followed well-established pathways of European spiritualism and ancient meditation in which various forms of nakedness featured as initiations into deeper truths. For Judaeo- Christian as well as Hindu mystics have used the naked body to bear witness to the virtues of poverty and chastity in their journey to virtue, whether Francis of Assisi barefoot in the snow or naked Quakers ranting in London streets during the English Revolution and Russian doukhobours marching across Canada in nude family groups to defend their faith.

    1974-Venice Beach

    APPENDIX A Venice. The police were informed that, in the absence of specific anti-nudity legislation, BFUSA would challenge any arrests in court. That first weekend was a smashing success with perhaps a hundred nudists enjoying their new beach. Even a Los Angeles Times editorial supported the idea of sharing the beach. However, word spread rapidly and within a few weeks, the nudists were vastly outnumbered by gawkers and the media. Property was trampled, and traffic slowed to a stop. The nudists appealed to the LA City Council to pass 1976 NATIONAL NUDE DAY MARCH TO VENICE BEACH a law legalizing the beach, and the proposal received a favorable 90-minute hearing followed by a 10-3 1974: HOW VENICE positive vote.
