#매춘의_역사

- 고대 및 중세 인도에서의 매춘

공식 석상에서의 매춘부의 역할을 다룬 옛 기록 중에서 가장 완전한 형태로 남아 있는 것 중 하나는 (기원전 290 ~ 기원후 300년 사이의 인물로 추측되는) 카우틸리야(Kautilya)의 글이다. 그가 국정을 논한 아르타사트라(Arthasatra)는 1905년에 재발견되었다.

이데올로기적으로 마키아벨리의 선구자라고 할 수 있는 카우틸리야는 냉혹하고도 냉소적인 권력행사를 주장하고, 왕가의 명령은 모든 법을 무시할 수 있다는 것을 논파하고 있다.

이 책에는 공덕심의 문제도 많이 취급되어 있다. 그가 보기에 매춘은 국가에 의해 인가되고 조직화된 하나의 제도였다. ‘아르타사트라’에는 가니카디아크샤( ganikadhyaksa)로 불렸던 매춘부 감독관에 관한 기록이 있다.

그는 아름다움과 젊음, 기예를 함께 갖춘 매춘부에게 고급 창부의 지위를 인정할 수 있는 권리를 가지고 있었다. 그에게서 인정받은 고급 창부 그룹은 당연히 높은 계급에 속하게 되었다.

그녀들은 가게를 여는 자금으로 국가로부터 1,000파나를 받고, 가게의 규모가 클 경우에는 가니카디야크샤가 프라티가니카(pratiganika)라는 보좌관으로 하여금 감독하게 하였다.

가게 소유자인 고급 창부가 사망하거나, 일을 그만 두는 경우에는 가게의 권리는 경영의 계속을 조건으로 하여 자매나 딸에게 주어졌다. 때로는 모친도 후계자로 인정되었다. 그러나 그 뒤를 이을 사람이 없는 경우에는 왕가의 소유로 돌아갔다.

매춘부는 세 계급으로 분류되었는데 각각 1,000~2,000, 또는 3,000파나의 급료가 지불되었다.

최상급 창녀는 왕을 따라 공식 행사에 참석하고, 중급 매춘부는 왕가 부인들의 요청에 따라 공식 식전에 참석했으며, 하급 창부는 왕의 개인적인 욕망에 응했다.

군대가 싸움터로 향할 때도 여자들은 그들을 따라다니며 음식이나 음료수 시중을 들었다. 실제로 싸움이 시작되면 곁에서 지켜보고 병사들을 성원했을 것으로 여겨진다.

매춘부들 중에는 매춘부의 아이로 태어나서 매춘부가 된 여자, 양친이 판 여자, 전쟁포로 등이 있었고, 그 중에서는 간통죄에 걸려 매춘부로 전락한 여자도 있었다.

매춘부도 상류층이 되면 보통은 상대를 고를 자유가 있었다. 그러나 왕의 분부가 있을 때는 예외였다. 매춘부는 재산의 소유를 인정받았고, 국가로부터 지급되는 수당 외에 장신구를 소유하거나, 손님으로부터 받는 화대, 팁, 여자노예를 소유하는 것도 인정되었다.

또 나이가 들었을 때는 감독관으로서 젊은 매춘부의 지도를 맡거나 왕가의 창고지기나 부엌일을 맡았다.

Women And Prostitution Paperback – 1 June 2013

by VERN BULLOUGH (Author)

4.2 out of 5 stars 6 ratings

-

In this time of heated debate over pornography in general and prostitution in particular, Vern and Bonnie Bullough present a fascinating look at the social and historical context of the "world's oldest profession." Women and Prostitution is a panorama of the forms and practices prostitution has assumed in many cultures over many centuries. Based on the assumption that one cannot understand prostitution without first understanding the role of women in society, this volume is the first comprehensive treatment of the historical, sociological, and anthropological background of prosititution. The authors expose the inextricable interweaving of scores of cultural dilemmas: women as property, pornography and the fear of sexuality, religion and promiscuity, sex and social class, and the control of venereal disease. Women and Prostitution conveys the tragedy and humor, the fortitude and cunning, the veniality and generosity, the real and counterfeit sensuality, and the hypocrisy and pathos that surround the lives of prostitutes. The beautiful, the powerful, the talented, and the most outrageous are here: Lais, Tamar, Pompadour, Du Barry, Emma Hamilton, Lola Montez and Calamity Jane. But in addition to these tales of the illustrious, these pages are filled with the experiences of the anonymous and the abused. Women and Prostitution is important reading for feminists, police, religious leaders, civil libertarians, the general public, and prostitutes themselves. All will benefit from this useful, sympathetic and illuminating book.
