The Ancient Emotion of Disgust
The study of emotions and emotional displays has achieved a deserved prominence in recent classical scholarship. The emotions of the classical world can be plumbed to provide a valuable heuristic tool. Emotions can help us understand key issues of ancient ethics, ideological assumptions, and normative behaviors, but, more frequently than not, classical scholars have turned their attention to "social emotions" requiring practical decisions and ethical judgments in public and private gatherings. The emotion of disgust has been unwarrantedly neglected, even though it figures saliently in many literary genres, such as iambic poetry and comedy, historiography, and even tragedy and philosophy.

The Orators and Their Treatment of the Recent Past
This volume focuses on the representation of the recent past in classical Athenian oratory and investigates the ability of the orators to interpret it according to their interests; the inability of the Athenians to make an objective assessment of it; and the unwillingness of the citizens to hear the truth, make self-criticism and take responsibility for bad results. Twenty-eight scholars have written chapters to this end, dealing with a wide range of themes, in terms both of contents and of chronology, from the fifth to the fourth century B.C. Each contributor has written a chapter that analyzes one or more historical events mentioned or alluded in the corpus of the Attic orators and covers ...

This book represents a simple, practical resource for all healthcare professionals working with dermatological patients with psychological aspects to their disease.

Comprehensive in coverage, but concise in its delivery of information, Psychodermatology in Clinical Practice presents an idealized approach to management of psychodermatology patients within a global perspective, and provides practical tools to aid assessment of patients and in the decision-making process. It is suitable for dermatologists, psychiatrists and psychologists, dermatology nursing staff, primary care physicians and pediatricians.
Sadness or Depression?
The World Health Organization states that depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and predicts that by 2030 the epidemic of depression raging across the world will be the single biggest contributor to the overall burden of disease of all health conditions. Yet this gloomy picture masks a number of paradoxes concerning the diagnosis and cultural interpretation of depression that appear to challenge the claimed prevalence rates on which it is based. This book’s essays by some of the world’s leading researchers and scholars on depression explores these anomalies in detail from multidisciplinary and multicultural perspectives, and in doing so reshapes the debate on the natur...
Romantic Antiquity
This work argues that Rome is relevant to the Romantic period not as the continuation of an earlier neoclassicism, but rather as a concept that is simultaneously transformed and transformative: transformed in the sense that new models of historical thinking produced a changed understandings of historicity itself.
›Mos Uetustissimus‹ - Tito Livio e la Percezione Della Clemenza
La clemenza occupa uno spazio significativo tra i Wertbegriffe caratterizzanti l'ideologia liviana. In questo volume le viene riservata un'analisi ad ampio spettro, al fine di rilevarne il grado di incidenza e il profilo di distribuzione nelle Storie. La clemenza è sollecitata, esercitata o negata all'interno di diversi ambiti, tutti connotati da una relazione non paritaria tra coloro che decidono o meno di esercitarla e coloro che eventualmente ne beneficiano: l'ambito familiare, a livello del rapporto padre-figlio, l'ambito giudiziario e quello militare. La concezione che emerge è tutt'altro che monolitica, ma si evolve attraverso le decadi e presuppone vari personaggi e situazioni. In t...
