Purchase options and add-ons

TransAntiquity explores transgender practices, in particular cross-dressing, and their literary and figurative representations in antiquity. It offers a ground-breaking study of cross-dressing, both the social practice and its conceptualization, and its interaction with normative prescriptions on gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world. Special attention is paid to the reactions of the societies of the time, the impact transgender practices had on individuals’ symbolic and social capital, as well as the reactions of institutionalized power and the juridical systems. The variety of subjects and approaches demonstrates just how complex and widespread "transgender dynamics" were in antiquity.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"TransAntiquity: Cross-Dressing and Transgender Dynamics in the Ancient World is a volume to be welcomed. The editors have assembled a wide-ranging set of essays--stretching from Pharaonic Egypt to late antiquity - that illuminate the roles played by transgender behavior and cross-dressing in ritual and religion, myth, gender, sexuality, law, politics, oratory, and literature. There are unexpected delights in this collection and many new conversations will take their start from it."

- Mark Masterson, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand

"Reasoning of disguise practices in the modern world requires complicated definitions and subcategories and cautions (...) Certainly more complicated it is still talk of disguise for the ancient world (...) The fact is that the theme has been overlooked or ill-treated by world scholars Greek almost as the perturbing nature of the practice advised him to pluck away. To overcome this kind of block, it needed a wide-ranging rethink: it now offers the Transantiquity. Cross-Dressing and Transgender Dynamics in the Ancient World."

- Carlo Franco, Alias - Il Manifesto, Domenica 21.05.2017

4.0 out of 5 stars Too expensive.
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2019
Book is very interesting. It explains a lot that is going on with our government pushing the transgender agenda. Apparently this has been a part of governments all over the world for thousands of years. Our world leaders are the descendants of past world leaders.
But why the heck does it cost so much?

3.0 out of 5 stars Acceptable because it is a pioneering work, but not great
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2019
The 13 chapters in this book are by different authors, and they vary from informative and interesting to dreadful. Probably the worst is chapter 10, where the author has nothing to say but uses a great many long words to say it. Twelve of the thirteen chapters deal mainly with Greece or Rome, but there is one on Egypt. There are occasional asides relevant to elsewhere, but no systematic discussion.

The book uses mainly literary evidence, with only occasional reference to depictions on vases, coins and sculpture, but other types of evidence almost certainly exist. For example, burials in which a person is accompanied by grave goods of a gender that does not conform to the bodily anatomy are not unknown, and a careful analysis of them would probably be illuminating. There is probably a lot more on ceramics than is covered here, and a systematic study would be interesting.

I found some of the asides as interesting as the main theme. I didn't know that the Gauls practiced man-boy marriage. (That comes from an obscure author, Bardaisan of Edessa, who wrote in Syriac and who has been neglected as a result.)

Despite the limitations, this is a pioneering work on a subject that is not easy to research, and some allowance must be made for that. It does open up the subject for further study. But I would hope that some day an author will write a coherent work that is a lot better than this one.

The review refers to the hardback book edition. I haven't seen the Kindle edition.
