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.
