FEMALE PUBLIC NUDITY in BELLE ÉPOQUE PARIS by LELA LOVETT FELTER-KERLEY a DISSERTATION PRESENTED to the GRADUATE SCHOOL OF FEMALE PUBLIC NUDITY IN BELLE ÉPOQUE PARIS By LELA LOVETT FELTER-KERLEY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 by Lela Lovett Felter-Kerley This life-long dream would not have been possible without the vision and encouragement of my parents and the numerous sacrifices of my husband John and daughter Adyla. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Let me begin by saying that nothing could be more foreign, more out-of-character, for me than to write a dissertation on nudity. Raised in a puritanical, middle-class military household during the conservative years of the Reagan administration (lest we forget Edwin Meese?), the closest I came to naked bodies was seeing my baby sister race around the house after having her nightly baths. For years I have thought very little of those first visions and memories of my childhood until now. However the context for my thinking about nudity some twenty odd years later is radically different. Through a series of chance happenings and unforeseen events, I am now confronting my innermost feelings, frustrations, and fascinations with the naked body. It has been as much a taboo for me to think, speak, and write about as it has been for many of closest friends and family members to hear. The University of Florida, its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and its Department of History granted me the academic freedom and financial wherewithal to explore this subject. The Council for European Studies’ generous pre-dissertation fellowship afforded me the opportunity to conduct preliminary research abroad. Furthermore, awards given by Linda Vance and the family of O. Ruth McQuown helped to pay for my travel expenses when I presented individual chapters of this dissertation at conferences held by the French Historical Studies and the Western Society for French History. iv Finally, this dissertation would not have been possible without the support of a small but influential group of strong-willed, ambitious, and accomplished professional women in my life. I would be remiss if I did not thank them for helping me to dream bigger, think harder, and see this project through to the end. Angel Kwolek-Folland provided me with the basic conceptual tools for exploring a topic in the history of sexuality. Her classes created a nurturing environment where my ideas could germinate and grow. A desire to study the history of female public nudity in relation to Belle Époque visual culture was due in large part to Melissa Hyde and her infectious passion for art history. Mary Louise Roberts, who graciously agreed to read and critique the final draft, ultimately shaped the dissertation’s narrative structure by offering a bird’s eye view of what I could only see in miniscule detail. Yet the overall direction of this study has been steered by my fearless and faithful advisor, Sheryl Kroen, who prodded me every step along the way. Thanks to her visionary insight, I can look back and see the extraordinary progress that we made together. She has been a wonderful friend and mentor to me over these years. I am, and will be, eternally grateful for her shepherding. v TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................. iv

  • Tuomas Toivonen of the Public Bath
    Ten Commandments Tuomas Toivonen of the Public Bath Bathing Together Is the Opposite of Warfare: The Public Bath as Evidence of Civilization as an Apparatus to Produce Pleasure and Health to the Social, Cultural, and Individual Body In the late 1940s, the Finnish Union of Commercial Saunas issued a single-page document titled “The Ten Commandments of the Bather,” to be displayed at all public saunas. The context: postwar Finland was rebuilding—modernizing through urbanization. Refugees and displaced people from lost territories were being absorbed into the rapidly growing cities, coalescing around state-orchestrated industrialization. It was a time of scarcity and rationing, with people living very close to one another, especially in urban centers. The sauna as an insti- tution for both pleasure and health has always been essential to Finnish culture, and in cities every neighborhood had its own public saunas, serving the influx of rural newcomers along with their established clientele. All were Finns, and thus accustomed to sauna practice, but not necessarily in the setting of the public bath. Hence, the guide for bathing together. 20 Harvard Design Magazine No. 40 / Well, Well, Well 21 I Behave well in the sauna at all times, as it is a “sacred” place III Take enough steam, but do not spoil the sauna of others by exces- according to the ways of our ancestors. sive “athletic” steam pouring.

  • Never Simply Nudity
    Never Simply Nudity A Study of the Functions of the Nude Female Figure in Athenian Vase-Painting c. 480-420 BCE Amy Martin Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Samantha Masters March 2017 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Recent studies regarding the motif of the nude female figure on Athenian red-figure vases of the 5th century BCE have caused much controversy among contemporary scholars. Whereas the nude male figure on Athenian vases is generally perceived by scholars as representative of heroic, ritualistic or civic nudity, the female form’s nude state remains ambiguous in comparison. In an attempt to uncover the cultural significance behind the appearance of the nude female figure on Athenian vases, multiple scholars have suggested that her utterly exposed state must surely have been indicative of a ‘disreputable’ status, especially that of the hetaira. However, this interpretation is problematic as it ultimately restricts the possible function(s) of the nude female figure to being primarily erotic in nature.

The Roman second century gate at Perge and its literary associations. Re v. do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia, São Paulo, 7: 49-64, 1997. RESUMO: O artigo visa demonstrar como a entrada romana do século II d.C. da cidade de Perge, na Ásia Menor, pertence a um conjunto arquitetônico harmônico, construído a partir de um programa artístico mais amplo. Assim, os vários elementos que compõem esta entrada (pátios, nichos e esculturas, colunadas) são analisados à luz de suas possíveis associações com os estilos de pintura mural e de composições literárias, adquirindo uma coerên­ cia única. UNITERMOS: Arte romana - Arte provincial - Arquitetura romana na Ásia Menor. The Gate at Perge The ruins of the ancient city of Perge (7t£pyr|) site slightly inland of the Pamphylian coast of south Turkey, 16km east of Antalya (Figure 1). The site was first discussed by Lanckoronski (1980:61) and then excavated and published by A. M. Mansel (1949, 1956, 1975a, 1975b) and more recently by Jale Inan. Strabo (14.4.2) describes the site. The city was founded following the end of the Trojan War by emigrants from Argos led by the seers Kalchas and Mopsus and the hero Amphilochus. To date, the excavations have revealed no evidence of an archaic settlement at the site. The first mention of the town is the forth century periplus city date from Seleucid times. The old Hellenistic attributed to Scyta of Caryanda.
