Titre: Gender reversals and gender cultures [Livre] : anthropological and historical perspectives / edited by Sabrina Petra Ramet  B.Biblio.
Éditeur: London; New York : Routledge, [*64 doc.] 1996
Description: 1 vol. (231 p. ) ; 24 cm
Notes: The theme of gender reversals has occurred in all societies since the beginning of recorded history. This volume explores some of the vast historical and cultural range of experience of the phenomenon: from the gender crossing of early Christian martyrs to Hindu and Buddhist beliefs in salvation through gender modification; from the mutating gender of actors in Chinese theatre to sacred genders in Siberia; from gender variance in North American Indian cultures to the androgynous beings of the cultural imagination of the Bimin-Kuskusmin of Papua New Guinea. These original essays are written from a broad mix of perspectives. Their common focus is the complex relation of gender reversals to taboo, and what this tells us about particular cultures.
