Through the emblematic work of acclaimed French novelist Gustave Flaubert, this book contributes to the controversial discussion of modernity's relationship to religion.
Zola and Film
French novelist Emile Zola, noted for his championship of the Naturalist novel, has been one of the most adapted authors in world literature. There have been approximately 80 film adaptations of his late 19th century novels and short stories, many of which occurred during the silent era of international film production (1895-1927). While the aesthetic elements of Zola's fiction continue to appeal to international cinema, the author's thematic naturalism and his "scientific methodology" have provided an ideological framework that incorporates art, science and history into the many cinematic adaptations of his work. This collection of essays, contributed by scholars of French literature and fi...
Venus as Muse
This volume deals with the enduring presence of one of Western culture's most fascinating and influential figures in ancient, modern, and postmodern art and literature: Venus/Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. The collection, which is the first of its kind, seeks to explore Venus's significance as a figure of beauty and creativity across cultures and disciplines, engaging a range of media, theoretical approaches, and cultural perspectives. Thirteen international scholars—including Elisabeth Bronfen, Tom Conley, Laurence Rickels, and Barbara Vinken—illuminate Venus's lasting value as a multifaceted figure of the creative in Western culture, from Lucretius to Michel Serres.

Civil War and the Collapse of the Social Bond
Can civil war ever be overcome? Can a better order come into being? This book explores how the Roman civil wars of the first century BCE laid the template for addressing perennially urgent questions. The Roman Republic's collapse and Augustus' new Empire have remained ideological battlegrounds to this day. Integrative and disintegrative readings begun in antiquity (Vergil and Lucan) have left their mark on answers given by Christians (Augustine), secular republicans (Victor Hugo), and disillusioned satirists (Michel Houellebecq) alike. France's self-understanding as a new Rome – republican during the Revolution, imperial under successive Napoleons – makes it a special case in the Roman tradition. The same story returns repeatedly. A golden age of restoration glimmers on the horizon, but comes in the guise of a decadent, oriental empire that reintroduces and exposes everything already wrong under the defunct republic. Central to the price of social order is patriarchy's need to subjugate women.
The Historiography of Late Republican Civil War

Du Bellay und Petrarca
Das Verhältnis der Renaissance zur Antike läßt sich am eindrücklichsten in all seinen Ambivalenzen an Rom illustrieren. Um Rom als Dreh- und Angelpunkt aller Hoffnung auf Veränderung kreist das Denken der Humanisten in Euphorie und Melancholie. Francesco Petrarca (1304–1374) schreibt als Vergil ohne Rom in weltreformistischer Perspektive gegen die Selbstvergessenheit Roms an, das aus dem Exil durch eine restauratio Romae zurückgeholt werden soll. Die Wiedergeburt Roms, die durch ein Überblenden von Stein- und Textcorpus in Petrarcas Schriften gelingen soll, ist das sine qua non einer geschichtswürdigen Geschichte. Joachim Du Bellay (1522–1560) hingegen geht es in seinen römische...
