Apophasis and Pseudonymity in Dionysius the Areopagite

German Colonialism, Visual Culture, and Modern Memory
There is no overarching master narrative in understanding the history of German colonialism, and over the past decade, the study of Germany’s colonial past has experienced a dramatic transformation in its scope of inquiry. Influenced by new theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of race, nationalism, and globalization, these new studies initiate a process of reevaluating and redefining the parameters within which German Colonialism is understood. The role of visual materials, in particular, is ideal for exploring the porousness of disciplinary boundaries, though visual culture studies pertaining to German history – and especially German colonialism – have previously bee...

"It is refreshing to find Plautus examined for what he undeniably was--a theatrical phenomenon."--Classical World.
