Body Technologies in the Greco-Roman World
Gerolemou, Maria (Lecturer in Greek Language and Culture) / Chesi, Giulia Maria (Lecturer in Greek Literature)
The volume introduces the notion of the technosoma (techno body) into discussions on the representations of the body in classical antiquity. It investigates up to what extent techno bodies destabilize or reaffirm cultural stereotypes by exploring their intersection with gender and sexuality, and with the categories of colour and race, speciesism, age, class, and education.
