Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Form in Greek Literature explores the relationship between form and political life specifically in Greek textual culture. In the last generation or so, classicists (and their counterparts in other disciplines) have begun to pay greater attention to the socio-historical contexts of literary production and sought to historicize aesthetic practice. However, historicism (and in particular New Historicism) is only one mode of approaching the question of form, which is increasingly brought into dialogue with a number of other issues (e.g. gender). Bringing together contributions from a range of experts, this volume examines these and other related approaches, assessing their limitations and discussing possibilities for the future. Individual chapters discuss an array of ancient authors, including Homer, Sophocles, Euripides, Plato, Aristotle, Callimachus, and more, and sketch out the specifically Greek contribution to the debate, as well as the implications for other disciplines. What emerges from this book are new ways of thinking about form, and indeed about politics, that will be of value to scholars and students across the humanities and social sciences.

Download or read book Antiquity in Print written by Daniel Orrells and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Orrells examines the ways in which the ancient world was visualized for Enlightenment readers, and reveals how antiquarian scholarship emerged as the principal technology for envisioning ancient Greek culture, at a time when very few people could travel to Greece which was still part of the Ottoman Empire. Offering a fresh account of the rise of antiquarianism in the 18th century, Orrells shows how this period of cultural progression was important for the invention of classical studies. In particular, the main focus of this book is on the visionary experimentalism of antiquarian book production, especially in relation to the contentious nature of ancient texts. With the explosion of the Quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns, eighteenth-century intellectuals, antiquarians and artists such as Giambattista Vico, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, the Comte de Caylus, James Stuart, Julien-David Leroy, Giovanni Battista Piranesi and Pierre-François Hugues d'Hancarville all became interested in how printed engravings of ancient art and archaeology could visualize a historical narrative. These figures theorized the relationship between ancient text and ancient material and visual culture - theorizations which would pave the way to foundational questions at the heart of the discipline of classical studies and neoclassical aesthetics.
Download or read book Antiquitates et Lumi res written by Marco Cavalieri and published by Presses universitaires de Louvain. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si le XVIIIe siècle est généralement qualifié de «Siècle des Lumières», cette période se caractérise également par un véritable «retour à l'antique» au sein des différents États européens. Cet engouement, conforté par de nombreuses découvertes archéologiques dont les premières fouilles à Herculanum et à Pompéi (1738 et 1748), se manifeste notamment dans le domaine des recherches portant sur l’Antiquité romaine: les textes des Anciens font l’objet d’une relecture critique tandis que les antiquaires, ces érudits collectant et étudiant les objets et les monuments antiques, développent de nouvelles approches permettant d’analyser les traces archéologiques. L’étude et la réception de l’Antiquité romaine au cours du XVIIIe siècle constituent un domaine de recherche relativement peu traité mais particulièrement riche et fécond: il fournit un éclairage intéressant non seulement sur l’histoire intellectuelle du Siècle des Lumières mais aussi sur l’histoire politique – les autorités «éclairées» prenant à coeur de mettre en valeur le passé romain des régions qu’elles administraient – et sur l’histoire sociale de cette période – les antiquaires travaillant souvent collectivement dans le cadre d’académies ou par le biais d’une correspondance. Ce volume propose un panorama vaste mais structuré illustrant les liens existant entre antiquarisme, histoire romaine et Lumières.

Download or read book Kant and his German Contemporaries Volume 2 Aesthetics History Politics and Religion written by Daniel O. Dahlstrom and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kant's philosophical achievements have long overshadowed those of his German contemporaries, often to the point of concealing his contemporaries' influence upon him. This volume of new essays draws on recent research into the rich complexity of eighteenth-century German thought, examining key figures in the development of aesthetics and art history, the philosophy of history and education, political philosophy, and the philosophy of religion. The essays range over numerous thinkers including Baumgarten, Mendelssohn, Meyer, Winckelmann, Herder, Schiller, Hamann and Fichte, showing how they variously influenced, challenged, and revised Kant's philosophy, at times moving it in novel directions unacceptable to the magister himself. The volume will be valuable for all who are interested in this distinctive period of German philosophy.

Download or read book Rome in the Age of Enlightenment written by Hanns Gross and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-22 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only scholarly work in the English language on the city of Rome in the Age of the Enlightenment, and the only book in any language to treat this fascinating city in all its multifarious aspects. Professor Gross combines extensive archival research with the latest findings of other scholars to produce a uniquely rounded portrait of the papal capital, elegantly illustrated with contemporary engravings by Piranesi and others. The book is divided into two sections, in the first of which Professor Gross discusses the material and institutional structures of the city, including its demography, economy, food supply, and judicial systems. The second section considers aspects of intellectual, cultural, and artistic life. Professor Gross contends not only that ancien-regime Rome witnessed a decline in Counter-Reformation fervour, but that this decay resulted in a marked dissonance in the political, social, and cultural life of the city.
