Sommario/riassunto

Durant le long xixe siècle, face à un Occident de plus en plus puissant et arrogant, l’Empire ottoman s’est modernisé dans le but avoué de gérer une situation de plus en plus précaire. L’histoire de cette modernité, fortement empreinte d’occidentalisation, doit s’affranchir de bien des influences politiques et idéologiques qui l’ont grevée jusqu’ici : orientalisme eurocentrique, nationalisme kémaliste, ottomanisme islamisant… L’étude d’une grande variété de sources – la plupart encore inexploitées – viendra nourrir une réflexion critique sur cette période dont l’importance n’a d’égal que sa complexité.

Sommario/riassunto

Why were virtuous Byzantine women described as manly? Why were boys' bodies thought to be closer in constitution to those of women than adult men? Did Byzantines think eunuchs were men? This lively and personal book explains some key aspects of how people of the Medieval Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) conceived of men and women, masculinity and femininity, and proper behaviour for men and women. By laying bare fundamental ideas about how gender was defined and performed, 'Byzantine Gender' enables readers to understand Byzantine society more fully. And by providing background information about Byzantine gender, it makes it easier to approach and appreciate the fascinating otherness of Byzantine culture.
