Wartime sex explored in Paris exhibition

The journalist Edouard Launet presents an exhibition about sexuality during major wars in the Musée de L'Armée in Paris. "The unveiling (of some 480 objects and images) remains very decent, even if what is evoked is sometimes a bit heavy. … Needless to say, sexuality is exacerbated in times of conflict, and that it sometimes takes on singular forms. This is what 'Amours, Guerres et Sexualité' (Love, War and Sexuality) is all about. The exhibition ... is more or less chronological, from mobilisation -where posters are eroticised to convince men to join up and women to participate in the war effort – to the end of the conflict, times of excess and reunions. Or of grief. We can see how the feminine image is used differently according to countries and cultures. The American army had no problem with pin-ups, whereas in France, after a very prudish period between the two world wars, portrayals were far more chaste."

Saint-Simon's legacy

Edouard Launet has paid a visit to the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, the Parisian library that is hosting an exhibition entitled 'Le Siècle des saint-simoniens'. It describes the utopian thinking of the French philosopher Henri de Rouvroy, count of Saint-Simon (1760-1825). "In a nut shell, this man dipped the spirit of the enlightenment into Romantism and hatched an ideology  that was at once pre-socialist and liberal. Throughout the 19th century disciples spectacularly propagated the philosophy. The DNA of our nascent 21st century contains, buried though important genes that have reached us directly from Saint-Simon. ... Before the industrial revolution actually took place, Saint-Simon had thought it up with profound humanism: 'All social institutions should have as an aim the improvement of the moral, physical and intellectual fate of the poor class'. In some respects, he announced Karl Marx. In others he was quite opposite to him."
