Malinowski et la liberté sexuelle des Trobriandais
Abstracts
Malinowski and Trobriander Sexual Freedom. – Comments on sexuality have an important place in Malinowski’s publications about the Trobrianders. During his stay in Oceania, his special “libidinous situation” interfered with his scientific work. He repeatedly wrote that, in quite clear contrast with Western societies, a broad sexual freedom reigned in the Trobriand Islands. However the documents he published invalidates this statement. It is, therefore, important to measure how much his writings bear the marks of an unexplained transference onto his data.
