US conservatives have repeatedly turned to classical Greece for inspiration and rhetorical power. In the 1950s they used Plato to defend moral absolutism; in the 1960s it was Aristotle as a means to develop a uniquely conservative social science; and then Thucydides helped to justify a more assertive foreign policy in the 1990s. By tracing this phenomenon and analysing these, and various other, examples of selectivity, subversion and adaptation within their broader social and political contexts, John Bloxham here employs classical thought as a prism through which to explore competing strands in American conservatism. From the early years of the Cold War to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Bloxham illuminates the depth of conservatives' engagement with Greece, the singular flexibility of Greek ideas and the varied and diverse ways that Greek thought has reinforced and invigorated conservatism. This innovative work of reception studies offers a richer understanding of the American Right and is important reading for classicists, modern US historians and political scientists alike.

Автор: Anna Blennow, Stefano Fogelberg Rota Название: Rome and The Guidebook Tradition: From the Middle Ages to the 20th Century ISBN: 3110610442 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110610444 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 161100.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: To this day, no comprehensive academic study of the development of guidebooks to Rome over time has been performed. This book treats the history of guidebooks to Rome from the Middle Ages up to the early twentieth century. It is based on the results of the interdisciplinary research project Topos and Topography , led by Anna Blennow and Stefano Fogelberg Rota. From the case studies performed within the project, it becomes evident that the guidebook as a phenomenon was formed in Rome during the later Middle Ages and early Renaissance. The elements and rhetorical strategies of guidebooks over time have shown to be surprisingly uniform, with three important points of development: a turn towards a more user-friendly structure from the seventeenth century and onward; the so-called ’Baedeker effect’ in the mid-nineteenth century; and the introduction of a personalized guiding voice in the first half of the twentieth century. Thus, the ‘guidebook tradition’ is an unusually consistent literary oeuvre, which also forms a warranty for the authority of every new guidebook. In this respect, the guidebook tradition is intimately associated with the city of Rome, with which it shares a constantly renovating yet eternally fixed nature.

Holz, Jorg Peltzer, Maree Shirota Название: The Roll in England and France in the Late Middle Ages: Form and Content ISBN: 3110644835 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110644838 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 99110.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: In the Middle Ages, rolls were ubiquitous as a writing support. While scholars have long examined the texts and images on rolls, they have rarely taken the manuscripts themselves into account. This volume readdresses this imbalance by focusing on the materiality and various usages of rolls in late medieval England and France. Researchers from England, France, Germany and Singapore demonstrate in 11 contributions how this approach can increase our understanding of the rolls and their contents, as well as the contexts in which they were produced and used.

Описание: Im Mittelpunkt des Sammelbandes steht die Frage nach der Bedeutung, die der schriftlichen Fixierung offentlicher Botschaften wie privater Mitteilungen im offentlichen Raum der Antike, Spatantike und Mittelalter zukam. Inschriften befanden sich - damals wie heute - auf Mauern und Wanden von Hausern und Tempeln, in Innenraumen von Kirchen, auf der Agora oder dem Forum, auf oder an offentlich aufgestellten Bildwerken wie Statuen, Reliefs, Gemalden und Mosaiken. Die Gegenwart beschrifteter Objekte pragte und gestaltete den offentlichen Raum, und selbst wenn die Inschriften nicht – oder nur partiell – gelesen wurden, so luden sie den Betrachter durch ihre oft extrem auffallige Prasenz doch zur Wahrnehmung und Interaktion ein. Durch den Versuch, die Artefakte in ihrem originaren sozialen wie raumlichen Umfeld zu rekontextualisieren, eroffnen sich neue Deutungsperspektiven: Neben Beobachtungen zur konkreten Gestaltung des einzelnen Schriftzeugnisses gewinnen Fragen nach der raumlichen Beziehung zu benachbarten Monumenten, der Platzierung im offentlichen Raum und der sich damit wandelnden Rezeptionsbedingungen an Bedeutung.
