Abstract
C. Meillassoux—The Pregnant Male, or On the Historicity of Myths. C. Meillassoux first sets forth hypotheses on the relationships between the socio-historical foundations of anthroponomic societies and the form and contents of the modes of cultural expression. As an application he shows how concerns related to social reproduction are to be found in the myths, legends and taies produced in this type of societies, and how men use these media to seemingly invest themselves with women's procreation capacity, thus laying bare men's century-old attempt to appropriate that function at the social level. [pp. 353-380]
