About this book deutschenglish

Sexual identity and the theme of being trapped in the wrong body have recently gained relevance in discussions on diversity. Interestingly, these themes are timeless since even in antiquity sexual identity, diversity and their perception are covered.

The Metamorphoses of Apuleius deal with the theme of consciousness in the wrong body in a sometimes humorous way. In this only completely preserved Latin novel, the protagonist is magically transformed into a donkey but retains his human consciousness. Thus, he is put in the position that his new appearance makes him an unrecognized listener and witness of numerous human inclinations, excesses and perversities, which he in turn shares with his readers.

The extent to which he succeeds in conceding individual traits and judgments to the other narrating characters is the subject of this book, which contains the first coherent narratological analysis for the entire XI books of Apuleiusʼ Metamorphoses. The analysis has been conducted using Gérard Genetteʼs instrumentarium.
