Описание: The presumed dichotomy between a Greco-Roman paradigm of Western humanism and new theoretical currents in the humanities is exploded in this volume, which explores the myriad ways in which Greek and Roman philosophy and literature can be understood as foregrounding the non-human rather than simply reflecting the ideals of classical humanism.
Автор: Whitmarsh Tim Название: Beyond the Second Sophistic: Adventures in Greek Postclassicism ISBN: 0520344588 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780520344587 Издательство: Wiley Рейтинг: Цена: 31680.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The Second Sophistic traditionally refers to a period at the height of the Roman Empire's power that witnessed a flourishing of Greek rhetoric and oratory, and since the nineteenth century it has often been viewed as a defense of Hellenic civilization against the domination of Rome. This book proposes a very different model. Covering popular fiction, poetry, and Greco-Jewish material, it argues for a rich, dynamic, and diverse culture that cannot be reduced to a simple model of continuity. Shining new light on a series of playful, imaginative texts that are left out of the traditional accounts of Greek literature, Whitmarsh advances a more adventurous, exploratory approach to later Greek culture. Beyond the Second Sophistic offers not only a new way of looking at Greek literature from 300 BCE onward but also a challenge to the Eurocentric, aristocratic constructions placed on the Greek heritage. Accessible and lively, it will appeal to students and scholars of Greek literature and culture, Hellenistic Judaism, world literature, and cultural theory.

Описание: Classical reception in early modern Europe is often perceived in modern scholarship as being dominated by engagements with Greece and Rome. The essays in this volume aim to challenge this prevailing view by collectively arguing for the significance and familiarity of the ancient near east to early modern Europe as part of a wider classical world.

Автор: Patrick Baker, Johannes Helmrath, Craig Kallendorf Название: Beyond Reception: Renaissance Humanism and the Transformation of Classical Antiquity ISBN: 3110635771 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110635775 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 99110.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Beyond Reception applies a new concept for analyzing cultural change, known as ‘transformation', the study of Renaissance humanism. Traditional scholarship takes the Renaissance humanists at their word, that they were simply viewing the ancient world as it actually was and recreating its key features within their own culture. Initially modern studies in the classical tradition accepted this claim and saw this process as largely passive. 'Transformation theory' emphasizes the active role played by the receiving culture both in constructing a vision of the past and in transforming that vision into something that was a meaningful part of the later culture. A chapter than explains the terminology and workings of 'transformation theory' is followed by essays by nine established experts that suggest how the key disciplines of grammar, rhetoric, history, poetry, and philosophy in the Renaissance represent transformations of what went on in these fields in ancient Greece and Rome. The picture that emerges suggests that Renaissance humanism as it was actually practiced both received and transformed the classical past, at the same time as it constructed a vision of that past that still resonates today.
Begriffe wie "Kunstsammlung" und "Kunstkabinett" und "Wunderkammer" sind im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts stark verankert. Sie basieren auf der Annahme, dass ein formgebundenes Kunstverstandnis einen hoheren kulturellen Wert hat, dass Sammlungen den "Geschmack" und die "Leidenschaft" ihrer Besitzer widerspiegeln und dass Kunst keinen praktischen Nutzen hat. Diese Begriffe wurden verwendet, um zu beschreiben, wie Objekte lange vor dem 18. Jahrhundert unter sehr unterschiedlichen kulturellen Bedingungen angehauft wurden.
Dieser Band stellt Analogien zu zeitgenossischen Sammlungen, Institutionen und Wissensformen her, um die Anhaufung und Prasentation von Objekten seit der griechischen Antike erklaren zu konnen.
Seit der Renaissance bemuht sich die Altertumswissenschaft um die Wiedergewinnung der antiken Musik, die erst durch Papyrusfunde des 19. und 20. Jh.s wieder wirklich greifbar geworden ist. Der vorliegende Band mit ausgewahlten Schriften von Egert Pohlmann beleuchtet diverse Bereiche, die in diesen Prozess der Wiedergewinnung einflie?en, darunter eine Abhandlung zur Oralen Tradition griechischer Musik bei Ps.Plutarch, Aufsatze zur Musik in den Werken des Aristophanes, eine Abhandlung zu den ambrosianischen Hymnen und dem Einfluss romischer Musik in der Spatantike sowie auch eine Schrift zur Tradition antiker griechischer Musik im Mittelalter und in der Renaissance. Somit bildet diese Sammlung einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Fortleben der antiken Musik und Literatur.

Описание: Dante`s "Comedy" is a puzzling poem because the author wanted to lead his readers to understanding by engaging their curiosity. While many obscure matters are clarified in the course of the poem itself, others have remained enigmas that have fascinated Dantists for centuries. This work explores different ways to read the "Comedy."

Описание: The thirteen chapters in this collection open up new horizons for the study of biblical drama by putting special emphasis on multitemporality, the intersections of biblical narrative and performance, and the strategies employed by playwrights to rework and adapt the biblical source material in Catholic, Protestant and Jewish culture. -- .
Interpretation of ancient Greek literature is often enough distorted by the preconceptions of modern times, especially on ancient morality. This is often equivalent to begging the question. If we think e.g. of arete, which has different meanings in different contexts, we shall think in English (or in Modern Greek or in French or in German) and shall falsify the phenomena. If we are to understand the Greek concept e.g. of arete we must study the nature of the situations in which it is applied. For it is an important fact in the study of Greek society that the Greeks used the one word (e.g. arete) where we use different words. If we are to understand properly the texts, we have to view them in their historical and social context. Ancient Greek thought needs to be studied together with politics, ethics, and economic behaviour. Moreover, the best insights can be found in those who confine themselves to the terms of each ancient author's analysis. From this principle each of the contributions of the volume begins.

Collected Studies CS1062
This volume brings together a selection of the major articles of Alexandra F. Johnston, which along with similar volumes by the late David Mills, Peter Meredith and Meg Twycross makes up a set of "Shifting Paradigms in Early English Drama Studies." Alexandra Johnston, the founding director of the research project, Records of Early English Drama, is one of these four key scholars whose work has had a profound influence on the study of medieval and early modern English drama.
This collection of essays focuses especially on the York plays: on the Mercers' documents that initiated the project itself; on the theology and christology of the plays; on the relationship between the plays and contemporary administrative bodies, both civic and national; and on the performance of the York plays in modern times. A further group of articles considers documentary evidence for the wide range of drama and mimetic ceremony in the Midlands and the West Country, reinforcing our understanding that these events took place predominately on a local parish level. The collection is rounded out with a survey of the immense changes that our reading of early English drama have undergone over the past half century.
