Diotima: Women & Gender in the Ancient World
Call for Collaborators to The On-line Companion to The Worlds of Roman Women The On-Line Companion to the Focus Reader, The Worlds of Roman Women, expands the book's wide representation of Latin texts by and about women dating from the earliest periods through the fourth century CE. The medium of a website, moreover, offers the opportunity to integrate visuals to texts, thus enabling users to make connections between language and material culture. The Companion has two major parts. The Worlds section includes Class, Religion, Childhood, Learning, Marriage, Family, Body, State, Work, and Flirtation. The Instructional section contains: a Guide to Using the Site; an Annotated Bibliography; Activities for Classroom Use; Syllabi and Lesson Plans; and Credits and Contributors. Future development of the Companion will extend the geographic reach of Companion to all the provinces. This point leads to our call for collaborators from all Latin teachers on all levels.

The Stoa Consortium Emma Watson : l’égalité des sexes est aussi votre problème Discours de l’Ambassadrice de bonne volonté d’ONU Femmes, Emma Watson, à l’occasion d’un événement spécial tenu au siège des Nations Unies, à New York, le 20 septembre 2014, dans le cadre de la campagne « HeForShe » Date : samedi 20 septembre 2014 [L’allocution prononcée fait foi] Nous lançons aujourd’hui la campagne « HeForShe ». Je m’adresse à vous en ce jour, car j’ai besoin de votre aide. Nous souhaitons mettre fin aux inégalités entre les sexes, et pour y parvenir, l’implication de tous est indispensable. Il s’agit de la première campagne de ce genre menée par l’ONU : nous souhaitons mobiliser autant d’hommes et de garçons que possible pour qu’ils militent pour l’égalité des sexes. J’ai été nommée il y a six mois et depuis, plus je parle de féminisme, plus je réalise que la lutte pour les droits des femmes est trop souvent associée à la haine des hommes. Lorsqu’à 14 ans, certains journaux ont commencé à me sexualiser. Je me suis dit que j’étais féministe et cela m’a paru tout naturel.

ancienttexts Notice: texts in Latin and other languages Links for texts in Latin or other languages are not available here. Please make use of the excellent set of links available on David Camden's Corpus Scriptorum Latinorum. Introduction to LATO The Library of Ancient Texts Online aims to be the internet's most thorough catalogue of online copies of ancient Greek texts, both in Greek and in translation. Links in LATO are organised by author, or, where authorship is uncertain, by the titles of texts. How to find a text Links are in alphabetical order by author. On the index pages, links for editions in Greek are given in the left-hand column, translations (at this stage almost entirely English) in the right-hand column. Greek names and Greek text Transliteration of Greek is not always consistent on this site. Which texts are listed? LATO prioritises texts earlier than 500 CE. Disadvantages of online editions Old texts. Contact me Last modified 20th October, 2009.

About this site Awards received by Maecenas UB College of Arts and Sciences Some software I've written for Latin teachers Féminisme et littérature I : Blogres, le blog d'écrivains Par Pierre Béguin Les premières opérations du chercheur, ou de l’analyste, est de répertorier, classer, nominaliser des catégories, aussi arbitraire puisse être cette démarche. Littérature et féminisme n’échappent pas à cette règle. Dans cette optique, à l’aube du XXIe siècle, la déjà très ancienne querelle des femmes initiée par Christine de Pisan au début du XVe siècle (Dit de la Rose et La Cité des Dames) semble prendre quatre orientations distinctes: - L’option culturaliste qui s’est développée au cours du XXe siècle, plus spécialement à partir des années 1950, comme une réponse à la domination masculine dont la stratégie principale consistait (consiste toujours?) Le point d’achoppement repose donc sur la différenciation sexuée mais les deux options se rejoignent dans leur aboutissement: la disqualification du mâle comme oppresseur, voire comme prédateur naturel des femmes. - Le concept du genre, tout droit sorti des universités américaines et largement influencé par le behaviorisme.

Classics Site of Pomoerium Perseus Digital Library Herodotus Timemap Book 1, Ch. 1 This is the display of the inquiry of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, so that things done by man not be forgotten in time, and that great and marvelous deeds, some displayed by the Hellenes, some by the barbarians, not lose their glory, including among others what was the cause of their waging war on each other.The Persian learned men say that the Phoenicians were the cause of the dispute. These (they say) came to our seas from the sea which is called Red, and having settled in the country which they still occupy, at once began to make long voyages.
