Description

Explore the complex construction of male identity in the Byzantine Empire through this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. Covering the period from 1000 to 1200, the book examines what defined a man, what was considered effeminate, and how the term 'Byzantine' applied to masculinity. By utilizing theories of gender, posthumanism, and disability, the text investigates how learning, violence, and animals shaped male roles. It provides a detailed look at scholars and clerics, two specific groups that navigated the era's standards of male violence in unique ways. The study shows how scholars used their education to build masculine capital, allowing them to adopt different emotional dispositions and reject traditional activities like hunting or fighting without losing their status.
