Drawing on classics, philosophy, religious studies, medieval studies, and critical theory and examining material ranging from Homer to .Game of Thrones., this volume facilitates an interdisciplinary investigation into how the boundaries of the body define the human form in language. This volume’s essays suggest that the body’s meaning is perhaps never more evident than in the violation of its wholeness. The boundaries of the body are areas of transition between states and are therefore vulnerable. As individuals find themselves isolated from their world and one another, their bodies regularly allow for physical interactions, incur transgressions and violations, and undergo profound transformations. Thus sympathy, sexuality, disease, and violence are among the main themes of the volume, which, ultimately, reexamines the place of the body in our understanding of what it means to be human. . | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Ancient body; Theory of the body; Gender Studies; Classical reception; ancient literature; comparative st | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-65806-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-65808-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-65806-9Series ISSN 2946-3017 Series E-ISSN 2946-3025 | issn_series | 2946-3017 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
