Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zusta…nd / very good condition - Ancient Sex: New Essays presents groundbreaking work in a post- Foucauldian mode on sexuality, sexual identities, and gender identities in ancient Greece and Rome. Since the production of Foucaults History of Sexuality, the field'of classics has been caught in a recursive loop of argument regarding the existenceor lack thereofof sexuality (particularly homosexuality) as a meaningful cultural concept for ancient Greece and Rome. Much of the argument concerning these issues, however, has failed to engage with the central argument of Foucaults work, namely, the assertion that sexuality as we understand it is the correlative of a historically specific form of medical and legal discourse that emerged only in the late nineteenth century. -- Rather than reopening old debates, Ancient Sex takes up Foucaults call for discursive analysis and elucidates some of the ways that ancient Greek and Roman texts and visual arts articulate a culturally specific discourse about sexual matters. Each contributor presupposes that sexual and gendered identities are discursively produced, and teases out some of the ways that the Greeks and Romans spoke and thought about these issues. Comprising essays by emerging and established scholars, this volume emphasizes in particular: sexual discourses about women; the interaction between sexual identities and class status; gender as an unstable discursive category (even in antiquity); and the relationships between ancient and modern sexual categories. -- CONTENTS -- One Hundred and Twenty-Five Years of Homosexuality Kirk Ormand and Ruby Blondell -- Vaseworld: Depiction and Description of Sex at Athens Holt N.
