Marriage Discourses
Marriage was historically not only a romantic ideal, but a tool of exploitation of women in many regards. Women were often considered commodities and marriage was far away from the romantic stereotypes people relate to it today. While marriages served as diplomatic tools or means of political legitimization in the past, the discourses about marital relationships changed and women expressed their demands more openly. Discourses about marriage in history and literature naturally became more and more heated, especially during the "long" 19th century, when marriages were contested by social reformers or political radicals, male and female alike. The present volume provides a discussion of the role of marriage and the discourses about in different chronological and geographical contexts and shows which arguments played an important role for the demand for more equality in martial relationships. It focuses on marriage discourses, may they have been legal or rather socio-political ones. In addition, the disputes about marriage in literary works of the 19th and 20th centuries are presented to complement the historical debates.

Tra marginalità e integrazione
Questo volume raccoglie gli interventi presentati nelle Giornate di studio tenute presso l’Università Europea di Roma nei giorni 7-8 novembre 2012 e dedicate al tema dell’«assistenza sociale» nel mondo greco e romano. Negli ultimi anni ha molto attirato l’attenzione di una parte dell’antichistica lo studio dei poveri e della povertà; minore interesse, al contrario, ha riscosso il tema individuato per queste giornate di studio, tanto che mancano opere di carattere sistematico su di esso, sia per la difficoltà nel definirne precisamente i contorni, sia per una certa distanza che separa la nostra sensibilità in merito a tale problema da quella del mondo greco e romano. Proprio a c...
