"Many of the women whose names are known to history from Classical Athens were metics or immigrants, linked in the literature with assumptions of being 'sexually exploitable.' Despite recent scholarship on women in Athens beyond notions of the 'citizen wife' and the 'common prostitute,' the scholarship on women, both citizen and foreign, is focused almost exclusively on women in the reproductive and sexual economy of the city. This book examines the position of metic women in Classical Athens, to understand the social and economic role of metic women in the city, beyond the sexual labor market. This book contributes to two important aspects of the history of life in 5th century Athens: it explores our knowledge of metics, a little-researched group, and contributes to the study if women in antiquity, which has traditionally divided women socially between citizen-wives and everyone else. This tradition has wrongly situated metic women, because they could not legally be wives, as some variety of whores. Author Rebecca Kennedy critiques the traditional approach to the study of women through an examination of primary literature on non-citizen women in the Classical period. She then constructs new approaches to the study of metic women in Classical Athens that fit the evidence and open up further paths for exploration. This leading-edge volume advances the study of women beyond their sexual status and breaks down the ideological constraints that both Victorians and feminist scholars reacting to them have historically relied upon throughout the study of women in antiquity"--

Double names have a long history in Egypt. They are already attested on Old Kingdom funerary monuments, where concern about eternal life required a correct identification of the deceased. When Greek and Egyptian cultures came into contact under the Ptolemies, bilingual polyonymy (i.e. the combination of an Egyptian and a Greek name) became more popular. During this period, Greek ethnicity was valued as a symbol of power and social status, and was used to create borders between the rulers and the ruled. At the same time, however, it was a flexible concept and this made it a useful tool for crossing the very same boundaries it constructed. As ethnicity became a crucial aspect of one's identity, it is not surprising that bilingual polyonymy was well attested among those that formed a bridge between the ruling class and the Egyptian population : particularly military, administrative and priestly officials. Since they moved between largely separated ethnic contexts, combining names of different linguistic origins was a way to negotiate their ethnic identities. Rather than serving as a reliable source for ethnic origin, names can therefore be interpreted as an expression of the ethnic identity of an individual in a certain space or context.

La notion de " dignité humaine ", étroitement associée à l'idée de nature humaine, soulève de nombreuses questions philosophiques et ses usages dans le domaine de la bioéthique et du biodroit suscitent des réserves ou des critiques justifiées. II n'est pas rare qu'en dépit de son fréquent rapprochement avec l'autonomie kantienne, l'invocation de la dignité entre en conflit tant avec le respect des libertés individuelles qu'avec la reconnaissance de la diversité et du pluralisme. Prétendre y lire un fondement univoque et universel fait souvent le jeu implicite d'une tradition dans laquelle de nombreux philosophes, scientifiques et citoyens ne se reconnaissent pas. La définition de ce qui est indiscutablement contraire à la dignité humaine est un enjeu politique qui se dissimule comme tel et dont les attendus philosophiques, théologiques ou idéologiques sont rarement explicités. La " diversité "- naturelle, culturelle, technique... - est une valeur dont la reconnaissance a progressé au cours de ces dernières décennies. Bien des débats bioéthiques n'ont cessé de l'illustrer. Plutôt que de s'en désoler, il faut s'en réjouir, en veillant à ce que la diversité ne soit pas synonyme de discrimination. Les derniers chapitres soulèvent la question des limites de l'auto-diversification future de l'espèce humaine à l'aide de moyens technoscientifiques et pas seulement symboliques ou externes : des transgressions ou transcendances opératoires qui mobilisent nature et dignité humaines.
