Paperback. Condición: New. Prostitutes and Courtesans in the Ancient World explores the implications of sex-for-pay across a broad span of time, from ancient Mesopotamia to the early Christian period. In ancient times, although they were socially marginal, prostitutes connected with almost every aspect of daily life. They sat in brothels and walked the streets; they paid taxes and set up dedications in religious sanctuaries; they appeared as characters - sometimes admirable, sometimes despicable - on the comic stage and in the law courts; they lived lavishly, consorting with famous poets and politicians; and they participated in otherwise all-male banquets and drinking parties, where they aroused jealousy among their anxious lovers. The chapters in this volume examine a wide variety of genres and sources, from legal and religious tracts to the genres of lyric poetry, love elegy, and comic drama to the graffiti scrawled on the walls of ancient Pompeii. These essays reflect the variety and vitality of the debates engendered by the last three decades of research by confronting the ambiguous terms for prostitution in ancient languages, the difficulty of distinguishing the prostitute from the woman who is merely promiscuous or adulterous, the question of whether sacred or temple prostitution actually existed in the ancient Near East and Greece, and the political and social implications of literary representations of prostitutes and courtesans.…

PAP. Condición: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Softcover. Condición: Very Good+. Spine sunned and a bit discolored. Faint shelfwear.; The ancient Greeks commonly resorted to magic spells to attract and keep lovers--as numerous allusions in Greek literature and recently discovered "voodoo dolls," magical papyri, gemstones, and curse tablets attest. Surveying and analyzing these various texts and artifacts, Christopher Faraone reveals that gender is the crucial factor in understanding love spells. There are, he argues, two distinct types of love magic: the curselike charms used primarily by men to torture unwilling women with fiery and maddening passion until they surrender sexually; and the binding spells and debilitating potions generally used by women to sedate angry or philandering husbands and make them more affectionate. Faraone's lucid analysis of these spells also yields a number of insights about the construction of gender in antiquity, for example, the "femininity" of socially inferior males and the "maleness" of autonomous prostitutes. Most significantly, his findings challenge the widespread modern view that all Greek men considered women to be naturally lascivious. Faraone reveals the existence of an alternate male understanding of the female as "naturally" moderate and chaste, who uses love magic to pacify and control the "naturally" angry and passionate male. This fascinating study of magical practices and their implications for perceptions of male and female sexuality offers an unusual look at ancient Greek religion and society.; 224 pages.…

Hardcover. Condición: Like New. Like New. 1. In this study of poetic form in early Greek elegy, Christopher A. Faraone argues against the prevailing assumption that it was a genre of stichic poetry derived from or dependent on epic verse. Faraone emphasizes the fact that early elegiac poets composed their songs to the tune of an aulos (a kind of oboe) and used a five-couplet stanza as a basic unit of composition. He points out how knowledge of the elegiac stanza can give us insight into how these poets alternated between stanzas of exhortation and meditation, used co-ordinated pairs of stanzas to construct lengthy arguments about excellence or proper human government, and created generic set pieces that they could deploy in longer compositions. Faraone's close analysis of nearly all the important elegiac fragments will greatly enhance understanding and appreciation of this poetic genre. Bright, clean copy in fine dj.…

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Nuevo. 01. El oficio que habitamos. Testimonios y reflexiones de terapeutas gestálticas, viene a concluir un proyecto cuyo origen data del año 1997, cuando celebramos las XV Jornadas de la Asociación Española de Terapia Gestalt. La idea surge de una mesa redonda, formada por mujeres, en torno a lo que opinábamos acerca del enfoque gestáltico y a cómo había sido nuestra integración en un mundo ocupado mayoritariamente por hombres. . . . De esa reunión surgió un grupo de trabajo y fue tomando forma una idea que se ha hecho realidad en este libro: escribir acerca de nuestra experiencia y camino. . . . Cada artículo es la expresión de lo que en este momento, o en algún otro, nos ha preocupado y ocupado a las autoras. Todos ellos han sido escritos con el deseo de trasmitir algo de lo aprendido en nuestro recorrido, una parcela de nuestra experiencia en este enfoque y, por tanto, de nuestra vida: Primero aprendemos, recibimos, experimentamos, actuamos y, finalmente, transmitimos todo aquello que a lo largo de los años ha surgido dentro de nosotras. . . .
