Editat de Mark Masterson, Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz, James Robson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2018
Looking at sex and sexuality from a variety of historical, sociological and theoretical perspectives, as represented in a variety of media, Sex in Antiquity represents a vibrant picture of the discipline of ancient gender and sexuality studies, showcasing the work of leading international scholars as well as that of emerging talents and new voices.

This volume contextualizes these shifts while putting in place new ideas and avenues of exploration that further develop this lively field. This broad study also includes studies of gender and sexuality in the Ancient Near East which not only provide rich consideration of those areas but also provide a comparative perspective not often found in such collections. Sex in Antiquity is a major contribution to the field of ancient gender and sexuality studies.

Recenzii

"[T]he editors of and contributors to this volume offer insightful and sometimes unexpected conversations that take place between current and past scholarship, and provide opportunities to explore the trajectories that scholarship on sex, sexuality, and gender in antiquity might now take... Overall, [the volume] offers thoughtful reflections on how current scholarship on gender and sexuality in antiquity got to where it is today and provides new avenues of inquiry."
- F. Mira Green, University of Washington (USA), in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review 
"This volume is absolutely superb: from cover to cover, 30 chapters and an introduction, it is a tour de force ... The contributions are informative, insightful, articulate and well researched ... the book is an impressive and important work and a necessary read for scholars of the ancient world and sexuality studies."
- Darlene M. Juschka, University of Regina (Canada) in The Classical Review
"Recommended"
- J. M. Williams, SUNY Geneseo in CHOICE
"This is an excellent resource not only for researchers in history, social sciences, and philosophy, but also for teachers of courses in ancient civilization, providing information that could enrich more traditional approaches."
- Christian Perring, Metapsychology Online Reviews
