Rethinking Homosexual Behavior in Antiquity
Friday, January 9
1:30 pm Grand Ballroom K (Marriot)
Mark Masterson and Steven D. Smith, Organizers
In recent years, questions have been raised about the helpfulness of
the honor/shame model for
understanding homosexual behavior in antiquity. While often helpful,
this model has limitations that have
not received the kind of attention they deserve. Papers were chosen
for this panel for their willingness to
approach same-sex sexual behavior from a standpoint exclusive of
domination and submission. It is the
organizers’ hope that this panel will help to consolidate recent gains
and show the way forward to more
explicitly nuanced approaches to homosexual behavior in antiquity.
