Description & Specifications

This book examines, within the context of cultural history, the change of "paradigm" regarding perceptions and uses of the human body during its transition from Roman to Byzantine culture as a means to achieve Christian salvation, made possible through the combination of self-imposed and self-regulatory practices and pain-sensing practices.

This interpretative-explanatory framework of God's incorporation, which will define the identity of Byzantine culture, was shaped in the early Christian centuries. The self-imposed and pain-sensing practices of managing the Christian body not only opened the boundaries of the human body but also overturned entrenched racial and power mechanisms that had persisted for centuries, thereby granting access to models of male masculinity to Christian women martyrs and ascetics.

"[...] Syrian anchoretic asceticism, with its extreme way of attributing meaning to the body, which could, under different climatic conditions, become fatal for the survival of its bearer, crafted new cultural paradigms for human nature. The anchorites emerged as the inverted 'zealots of Dionysus,' to repeat a successful formulation of Friedrich Nietzsche, who, abandoning urban centers and retreating to the desert, became living examples of animalistic nature, with the difference that the mystical renunciation of self was no longer connected to Dionysian intoxication, but to the self-imposed training of impulses."
