The evaluative divisions between, for example, women and men, humans and animals, "barbarians" and "civilized" people, slaves and free citizens, or mortals and immortals, could all be played out across the terrain of somatic difference, embedded as it was within wider social and cultural matrices.This volume explores these thematics of bodies and boundaries: to examine the ways in which bodies, lived and imagined, were implicated in issues of cosmic order and social organisation in classical antiquity. It focuses on the body in performance (especially in a rhetorical context), the erotic body, the dressed body, pagan and Christian bodies as well as divine bodies and animal bodies. The articles draw on a range of evidence and approaches, cover a broad chronological and geographical span, and explore the ways bodies can transgress and dissolve, as well shore up, or even create, boundaries and hierarchies. This volume shows that boundaries are constantly negotiated, shifted and refigured through the practices and potentialities of embodiment.Bodies and boundaries in Greco-Roman antiquityHuman bodySocial aspectsGreeceHuman bodySocial aspectsRomeHuman body in literatureAncient Greek Literature.Body (Cultural Concepts).Classical Latin Literature.History of Ancient Arts.Human bodySocial aspectsHuman bodySocial aspectsHuman body in literature.306.4NH 5285rvkFögen Thorsten474191Lee Mireille M792368MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778523403321Bodies and boundaries in Graeco-Roman antiquity3696849UNINA
