Nicholson Hall 145
Course Catalog Description:
What we know (or think we know) about ancient Greek and Roman ideas about sexuality and gender roles. Evidence/methodologies by which it is analyzed.
Class Description:
An understanding of ancient expectations about gender, sexuality, and sexual behavior is both necessary for understanding classical literary texts and Greco-Roman history and important for the role it often plays in contemporary debates about western ideas about sexuality and the body. There is an extensive body of evidence (textual and visual) from ancient Greece and Rome, but it poses certain problems of methodology not always faced in the study of sexuality in the modern world and generally alien to students. Thus the course seeks not only to expose students to "facts" about ancient sexuality, but to survey the range of evidence that exists, and help them confront the problems that arise from studying primary sources from the ancient world. The course will also expose students to some of the main debates among scholars of ancient sexuality: the so-called Dover model of same-sex behavior in classical Greece, the relevance (and reliability) of Foucault's work on antiquity, the functions of the frequent depictions of rape in classical (especially Roman) literature, the sexualization of the figure of the Roman emperor, and the limits of the evidence for authentic female voices in classical texts. Readings will come from ancient sources in translation, modern scholarly accounts of antiquity, and works on theory and method in the study of gender and sexuality.
