| Sumario: | In this presentation we intend to reflect on some social representations about sexuality in the Greco-Roman Age considering its myths. In this instance, we work with myths in Ovid’s Metamorphoses referring to transsexuality or gender change as in Ifis (IX: 668-797), in Hermaphroditus (IV: 271-388) and in Ceneo (XII: 168-209 and 460-535). We notice that the considerations about sexuality, the body, desire, pleasure are strongly constrained to different kind of judgements: cultural, religious, medical, philosophical, etc. and inevitably linked to time and space. In this way, a system of prohibitions and permissions is built around sexual practices. Then, we want to know the way these myths subvert or reinforce stereotypes about identity and difference between genders; as well as analyzing aspects about sexual normativity and forms of subjectivity around desire, in the framework of a patriarchal culture that classifies reality on an essential pillar of its ideological system: the male/female binary opposition. |
