RIBEIRO, Cláudia Maria. O imaginário das águas e o aprendizado erótico do corpo. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2009, n.35, pp.107-121. ISSN 0104-4060.

Throughout human history, imaginary waters have carried out an overflow of meanings and symbolisms in the cultural universe of human beings, springing as symbols of contradictions. Beyond all oppositions, investigating the erotic learning of the body brings forward questions about the Occident's civilizing process, such as: in which ways has water pervaded the transformations concerning the individual's relationships with his\her bodies? The relation between water and Eros is perceived as an important element for the erotic learning of the body, observed as a set of rules concerning the use of water in bath. Therefore, is contact with water one of the possibilities to enjoying intensity of the senses? Is proximity with water a possibility of transgression? The article navigates through discussions about the imaginary of the waters as well as through water as a support for the imagination and for bath’s (un)pleasures in history.
