December 12, 2024 Brides, Mourners, Bacchae: Women's Rituals in Roman Literature
This book analyzes how Roman literature portrays women's roles in various rituals, arguing that these depictions, while reflecting some aspects of actual practice, primarily function as spaces for exploring ideological tensions surrounding gender and power. The author examines weddings, funerals, and Bacchic rites in works by Catullus, Ovid, Petronius, Lucan, Seneca, and Statius, demonstrating how women's participation—or exclusion—from these rituals reveals nuanced perspectives on social norms and agency. The study draws on sociological theories of habitus and relational agency to understand how women negotiate their positions within existing power structures. Finally, the book explores the intersection of women’s rituals with state power, particularly examining how these rituals are used to express consent, resistance, and cultural transformation.
