The working hypothesis is this it is true that sexuality as experience is obviously not independent of codes & systems of prohibitions but it needs to be recalled straightaway that these codes are astonishingly stable continuous & slow to change It needs to be recalled also that the way in which they are observed or transgressed also seems to be very stable & very repetitive On the other hand the point of historical mobility what no doubt change most often what are most fragile are modalities of experience
- Michel Foucault In 1981 Foucault delivered a course of lectures which marked a decisive reorientation in his thought & of the project of a History of Sexuality outlined in 1976 It was in these lectures that arts of living became the focal point around which he developed a new way of thinking about subjectivity It was also the moment when Foucault problematized a conception of ethics understood as the patient elaboration of a relationship of self to self It was the study of the sexual experience of the Ancients that made these new conceptual developments possible Within this framework Foucault examined medical writings tracts on marriage the philosophy of love or the prognostic value of erotic dreams for evidence of a structuration of the subject in his relationship to pleasures (aphrodisia) which is prior to the modern construction of a science of sexuality as well as to the Christian fearful obsession with the flesh What was actually at stake was establishing that the imposition of a scrupulous & interminable hermeneutics of desire was the invention of Christianity But to do this it was necessary to establish the irreducible specificity of ancient techniques of self In these lectures which clearly foreshadow The Use of Pleasures & The Care of Self Foucault examines the Greek subordination of gender differences to the primacy of an opposition between active & passive as well as the development by Imperial stoicism of a model of the conjugal bond which advocates unwavering fidelity & shared feelings & which leads to the disqualification of homosexuality
