Der vorliegende Band 11 der Edition PEREGRINI BLICK AUS DEM FENSTER von Verena Paul-Zinserling stellt Gedichte vor, die aus starken Reiseeindrücken entstanden, aber auch alltägliches Geschehen und inneres Erleben, eingebettet in sich wandelndes Naturempfinden, gestalten.
Women in Greece and Rome
From the records of an age dominated by masculine values and characterized by the almost continuous exercise of the masculine arts of war, the author has undertaken the delicate task of piecing together the public and private lives of women ... The author recounts stories drawn from legend and from life: of goddesses, Homeric heroines, empresses, poetesses, wives of the famous, mothers, sisters, concubines. She searches out the other class of women, ignored by history--the obscure, the dispossesses, the slaves upon who exploitation the luxuries of the powerful depended. Describing the network of laws and sanctions that deprived women of the ancient world of the means to independent action, D...
A Different God?
Within modern frameworks of knowledge and representation, Dionysos often appears to be atypical for ancient culture, an exception within the context of ancient polytheism, or even an instance of a difference that anticipates modernism. How can recent research contribute to a more precise understanding of the diverse transformations of the ancient god, from Greek antiquity to the Roman Empire? In this volume, which is the result of an international conference held in March 2009 at the Pergamon Museum Berlin, scholars from all branches of classical studies, including history of scholarship, consider this question. Consequently, this leads to a new look on vase paintings, sanctuaries, rituals and religious-political institutions like theatre, and includes new readings of the texts of ancient poets, historians and philosophers, as well as of papyri and inscriptions. It is the diversity of sources or methods and the challenge of former views that is the strength of this volume, providing a comprehensive, innovative and richly faceted account of the “different” god in an unprecedented way.
Destroy the Copy – Plaster Cast Collections in the 19th–20th Centuries
Based on two international conferences held at Cornell University and the Freie Universität of Berlin in 2010 and 2015, this volume is the first ever to explicitly address the destruction of plaster cast collections of ancient Mediterranean and Western sculpture. Focusing on Europe, the Americas, and Japan, art historians, archaeologists and a literary scholar discuss how different museum and academic traditions – national as well as disciplinary –, notions of value and authenticity, or colonialism impacted the fate of collections. The texts offer detailed documentation of degrees of destruction by spectacular acts of defacement, demolition, discarding, or neglect. They also shed light on the accompanying discourses regarding aesthetic ideals, political ideologies, educational and scholarly practices, or race. With destruction being understood as a critical part of reception, the histories of cast collections defy the traditional, homogenous narrative of rise and decline. Their diverse histories provide critical evidence for rethinking the use and display of plaster cast collections in the contemporary moment.
