Utopies Amoureuses / Le Citta Delle'Amore
East meets West once again. This time the subject is eroticism and the West provides the text while the East contributes the images. The texts belong to the vast literature on amorous utopias. However, even on the theme of Eros, the West cannot lose its vice of legislating. The iconography that accompanies these totalitarian sexual fantasies is much more unassuming. It is a little Indian book sold at fairs to try and teach married couples and people in love “how it’s done” (like a Western manual that shows you how to insert a plug). Practical and popular as an almanac, this little Indian manual is not an erotic book but a book of amorous devotions, an introduction to the daily metaphysics of India and to its subtle ethical and ritual meanings.

Utopies Amoureuses / Le Citta Delle' Amore
Ancora una volta, Oriente e Occidente di fronte: argomento l’erotismo; l’Occidente mette i testi, l’Oriente le immagini. I testi appartengono alla vasta letteratura delle utopie amorose. Anche a proposito dell’Eros l’Occidente non perde il vizio di legiferare. L’iconografia che accompagna queste fantasie sessuali totalitarie è molto più modesta: si tratta di un libro indiano venduto nelle fiere, che vuole insegnare agli sposi e alla gente in amore “come si fa” (alla maniera di un dépliant occidentale che insegna come inserire una spina). Pratico, popolare come un lunario, il manualetto indiano non è un libro erotico, bensì un libro di devozioni amorose, che introduce alla metafisica quotidiana dell’India e ai suoi sottili significati etici e rituali.
