Beschreibung:
Among numerous ancient Western tropes about gender and procreation, "the seed and the soil" is arguably the oldest, most potent, and most invisible in its apparent naturalness. In Gender Vendors: Sex and Lies from Abraham to Freud, A.L. Jones de-naturalizes the proto-theory of "seed-and-soil" procreation and deconstructs its contemporary legacy.
