Description

This volume explores how the translation of subject material from the traditional Near East is enriched during the application of diverse methodological and theoretical approaches to studying gender.

The contributors to this collection include both established and up-and-coming scholars whose work brings gender studies theories—from Butler’s theory of gender as a performance to more up to date theories that believe gender as a spectrum—to bear on varied materials and contexts. Their essays increase the visibility of girls in ancient history, untangle constructions of masculinity and femininity in diverse contexts, and grapple with big-picture questions, such as the suitability of applying third-wave or postfeminist theories to the traditional Near East. Studying Gender within the Ancient Near East points to a need for—and provides a model of—a more productive agenda for gender studies in furthering our working out of ancient Near Eastern societies.

In addition to the editors, the contributors are Julia M. Asher-Greve, Stephanie Lynn Budin, Megan Cifarelli, M. Érica Couto-Ferreira, Amy Rebecca Gansell, Katrien De Graef, Amélie Kuhrt, Stephanie M. Langin-Hooper, Brigitte Lion, Natalie N. Would possibly, Beth Alpert Nakhai, Martti Nissinen, Omar N’Shea, María Rosa Oliver, Frances Pinnock, Eleonora Ravenna, Allison Karmel Thomason, Luciana Urbano, Niek Veldhuis, and Ilona Zsolnay.
