«L'intime» is an essay by Elisabeth Lebovici, Rebecca Bournigault, Pierre Zaoui and Shere Hite, published by ENSBA in paperback (143 pages, in French).
A collective reflection on how to represent intimacy: to express itself, the intimate needs to fix an inner movement that, by definition, escapes it. The book turns this paradox into a political question about contemporary society, fascinated by the familiar and the strange, identity and minorities, the norm and the margin, universalism and communitarianism.
Published in 2004, it is part of the D'art en questions collection from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts (ENSBA).
For readers interested in art theory and essays that connect visual creation with debates on identity and intimacy.
Shere Hite was an American-born German sex educator and feminist. Her sexological work focused primarily on female sexuality. Hite built upon biological studies of sex by Masters and Johnson and by Alfred Kinsey. She was the author of 'the groundbreaking The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study on Female Sexuality (1976), which became a bestseller. She also referenced theoretical, political and psychological works associated with the feminist movement of the 1970s, such as Anne Koedt's essay "The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm". She renounced her United States citizenship in 1995 to become German.
