| Résumé : |
To what extent can we understand early Christians as engaging in hazing culture? Is it possible for the lives of ancient ascetics to inform discourses concerning mental health? How does water access impact public health and the transformation of communities in antiquity and beyond? This volume of ten essays seeks to answer these questions and many more. Each contribution examines healing, medical, and health discourses from the second through the sixth centuries c.e., except for the tenth installment in which Brenda Llewellyn Ihssen responds to the entries authored by Susan Holman, Helen Rhee, and Chris de Wet. Drawing on a variety of postmodern theories and scholarship, the contributions seek to challenge contemporary approaches to reading late antique literature and to carve out a place for engaging modernity in conversations about the ancient world. |
