Including both traditional and underrepresented accounts and
geographies of soul, body, gender, and sexuality in late antique
history, philosophy, and theology, this volume offers substantial
re-readings of these and related concepts through theories of
dis/embodiment. Bringing together gender studies, late antique
philosophy, patristics, history of asceticism, and history of
Indian philosophy, this interdisciplinary volume examines the
notions of dis/embodiment and im/materiality in late antique and
early Christian culture and thought. The book’s geographical
scope extends beyond the ancient Mediterranean, providing
comparative perspectives from Late Antiquity in the Near East and
South Asia. It offers critical interpretations of late antique
scholarly objects of inquiry, exploring close readings of soul,
body, gender, and sexuality in their historical context. These
fascinating studies engage scholars from different fields and
research traditions with one another, and reveal both change and
continuity in the perception and social role of gender, sexuality,
body, and soul in this period. Soul, Body, and Gender in Late
Antiquity is a valuable resource for students and scholars of
Classics, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, as well as those working
on late antique and early Christian history, philosophy, and
theology.
