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. 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects$zGreece 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects$zRome 606 $aHuman body in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHuman body in literature. 676 $a306.4 686 $aNH 5285$2rvk 701 $aFo?gen$b Thorsten$0474191 701 $aLee$b Mireille M$0792368 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454960203321 996 $aBodies and boundaries in Graeco-Roman antiquity$92479288 997 $aUNINA
