GENDER: ANTIQUITY AND ITS LEGACY
Book ID/图书代码： 06545014B67301
English Summary/英文概要： Gender has now become a pervasive topic in the humanities and social sciences. Yet despite its familiarity within universities and colleges, some have argued that the radical debates which first characterized gender studies have become ghettoized or marginalized - so that gender no longer makes the impact on creative thinking and ideas that it once did. Brooke Holmes here rescues ancient ideas about sex and gender in order precisely to reinvigorate contemporary debate. She argues that much writing on gender in the classical age fails to place those ancient ideas within their proper historical contexts. As a result, the full transformational force of that thinking is often overlooked. In this short, lively book, the author offers a sophisticated and historically rounded reading of gender in antiquity in order to map out the future of contemporary gender studies. By re-examining ancient notions of sexual difference, bodies, culture, and identity, Holmes shows that Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, Epicureans and others force us to reassess what is at stake in present-day discussions about gender. The ancient world thus offers a vital resource for modern gender theory.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 性别如今已经成为人文学科和社会科学一个普遍的话题。 尽管这一话题在大学和学院之内所熟悉，但仍有一些少数民族地区或是持有排斥观念的人，对性别的基础研究的争论仍旧非常激烈-，因此性别曾对创造性思维和理念所不再造成冲击。布鲁克•霍姆斯(Brooke Holmes)为了使当代的这场辩论恢复生气，在本书中还原了古人对于性和性别的观念。 她认为，古人对于性别留下的诸多文献资料，未能恰如其缝地体现出历史背景下的那些真正想法。 结果，这些人类关于性别完全转型的思想理念经常被忽略。 在这本精简而生动的书中，为了能映射出当代性别研究的未来前景，作者向我们展示了一个复杂的和上古人们对性别的历史认知。 通过对古人对性别，差异、身体、文化和特性的再次探索， Holmes显示了柏拉图、亚里士多德，斯多葛学派，伊壁鸠鲁派即享乐主义者和其他使我们重新审视当代关于性别讨论的话题。 古老世界因而为现代性别理论提供一种重要理论依据资源。(Sandy)
