| Description: | This volume presents a timely, provocative and beautifully illustrated re-evaluation of how gender, identity and sexuality reveal "naked truths" about fundamental human values and social realities, through the symbolism of the body. The articles in Naked Truths demonstrate the application of feminist theory to a diverse repertory of classical art: they offer topical and controversial readings on the material culture of the ancient Mediterranean. This volume presents a timely, provocative and beautifully illustrated re-evaluation of how the issues of gender, identity and sexuality reveal ''naked truths'' about fundamental human values and social realities, through the compelling symbolism of the body. |
