By concentrating on the particular elements that make up this form of masculine behaviour and identity, briefly defined as a performance of masculinity that is harmful to people who should be protected, to one’s community, or to oneself, we illuminate tensions and contradictions within Greek and Roman conceptions of gender, while tracing some origins of modern gender roles. This book also highlights the ways that texts and events from the ancient world are invoked in the construction of toxic masculinity today. Covering Athenian oratory and drama, Roman poetry and history, curse tablets, early Christian writing, Italian cinema, US politics, and more, this collection brings together the ancient and modern to ask what shapes a culture’s understanding of masculinity and how to identify the aspects of that understanding that can cause harm.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51025150738705,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51025152868625,"sku":"NIN9781399520539","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1399520539.jpg?v=1771496475"},{"product_id":"toxic-masculinity-in-the-ancient-world-book-melanie-racette-campbell-9781399520546","title":"Toxic Masculinity in the Ancient World","description":"Krebs geh rt zu den gr  ten Herausforderungen der modernen Medizin, doch die Natur h lt erstaunliche Heilmittel bereit, die uns im Kampf gegen diese Krankheit unterst tzen k nnen.

Previously, masculinity was established and maintained through the frame of competition, in both public and private spheres—but the total accumulation of power by one man foreclosed most avenues of, and even appreciation for, competition. Melanie Racette-Campbell examines how Rome’s elite men navigated this liminal moment between Republic and Empire, and shows that the process was neither linear nor uniform.     Already in the late Republic, prior to Augustus’s rise to power, cracks in the hegemonic concept of masculinity were starting to show. Careful reading of contemporary texts reveals a decades-long process as tumultuous and unsteady as the political events they echoed, one in which multiple and competing strategies for reconceiving the nature of masculinity were tested, employed, discarded, and adopted in a complex public-private discourse. The eventual reconstitution of a definition of Roman manhood was not easily agreed upon. Masculinity in both the Republic and the Empire are well studied subjects, but by shining a light on the precise moment of transition Racette-Campbell unveils the precise complexity, contours, and nuances of the Augustan crisis of masculinity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52099636723985,"sku":"NGR9780299343545","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780299343545.jpg?v=1757086681"},{"product_id":"crisis-of-masculinity-in-the-age-of-augustus-book-melanie-racette-campbell-9780299343507","title":"The Crisis of Masculinity in the Age of Augustus","description":"The political rupture caused by the ascension of Augustus Caesar in ancient Rome, which ended the centuries-old Republic, had drastic consequences for the performance and understanding of masculinity in a markedly androcentric society.
