This volume publishes the proceedings of the eleventh annual
University of Chicago Oriental Institute Seminar. Its central goal
is to present a cross-cultural study of the intersection between
law and gender relations in the ancient world, with a focus on the
ancient Near East. When reflecting upon the formation,
perpetuation, and interactions of social structures that frequently
come into conflict with each other, one discovers that gender
constructs are used by mechanisms of social monitoring and control;
structures of power. One such example is the realm of jurisdiction
and legislation. This volume uses the sphere of legal institutions
as a prism through which to consider gender relations in the
ancient world, both in the Near East and beyond. The way in which
similar issues were manifested in different cultural and historical
contexts is examined, with the goal of identifying common
denominators as well as particularities. The three themes discussed
in this volume are examined through multiple historical-cultural
examples.
