The central and unifying theme is the body's relation to gender.

Ancient bodies are \"parchments of gender\": textual skins on which gender is inscribed\n\u003cbr\u003eand on which can be traced other interconnecting matrices of knowledge and power that give these bodies their seemingly legible contours.  The volume also demonstrates the central role of antiquity in the\n\u003cbr\u003edeveloping cultural formation of the gendered body as a concept, a practice and an experience in modern societies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059446272238,"sku":"9780198150800","price":350.07,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198150800.jpg?v=1736499772","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/parchments-of-gender","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
