Ostraka in the Collection of New York University
A comprehensive edition and commentary of 77 ostraka Ostraka in the Collection of New York University is a comprehensive edition and commentary of 77 ostraka, or potsherds with ancient texts written on them, from Greco-Roman and late antique Egypt. Seventy-two of these ostraca are housed in NYU Special Collections, originally purchased by Caspar Kraemer in 1932, then the chair of the NYU Classics Department. Although Kraemer advertised the imminent publication of the texts in 1934 and later collaborated with the famed papyrologist Herbert Youtie, neither completed the project. The ostraka in this small collection span the 2nd century BCE to the 8th century CE and include both Greek and Copti...
Being Alone in Antiquity
This volume aims to provide an interdisciplinary examination of various facets of being alone in Greco-Roman antiquity. Its focus is on solitude, social isolation and misanthropy, and the differing perceptions and experiences of and varying meanings and connotations attributed to them in the ancient world. Individual chapters examine a range of ancient contexts in which problems of solitude, loneliness, isolation and seclusion arose and were discussed, and in doing so shed light on some of humankind’s fundamental needs, fears and values.

Aufbau und Komponenten der umbrischen Ritualbeschreibungen: die Iguvinischen Tafeln II, III und IV
Die Iguvinischen Tafeln sind das längste schriftliche Zeugnis der altumbrischen Sprache. Es handelt sich um sieben bronzene Tafeln, auf denen ungefähr zwischen dem Ende des 3. und dem Ende des 2. Jahrhunderts vor Chr. mehrere Texte eingeritzt wurden. Dieses sehr umfangreiche Korpus enthält detaillierte Ritualbeschreibungen sowie Regelungen für das öffentliche Priesterkollegium, das für die Ausführung der Rituale zuständig war. Die vorliegende Monographie befasst sich mit dem Aufbau von vier dieser Rituale aus religionsgeschichtlicher Sicht und mit der Vertextlichung der zeremoniellen Vorgänge aus sprachwissenschaftlicher Sicht. Hierbei wird der Versuch unternommen, das meta-rituelle Gedankengut der Spezialisten zu erörtern, die für die Gestaltung der Rituale und der entsprechenden Texte verantwortlich waren. Ziel der Untersuchung ist es zum einen, den tatsächlichen Ablauf der Rituale zu erschließen und der Vergleichsbasis der römischen Opferrituale entgegenzusetzen, und zum anderen, die terminologischen und redaktionellen Entscheidungen, die bei der Abfassung der betreffenden Ritualbeschreibungen getroffen wurden, anhand textlinguistischer Methoden zu rekonstruieren.
Comunicazioni
Il quattordicesimo volume delle Comunicazioni dell’Istituto Papirologico «G. Vitelli» è, come altri della Serie, suddiviso in tre sezioni: Edizioni e riedizioni di testi; Note critiche; Chronique de lexicographie papyrologique de la vie matérielle. La prima sezione accoglie l’edizione di un inedito di Cambridge, e la riedizione di due testi appartenenti alle collezioni di Lipsia e Vienna. La seconda sezione comprende due contributi, uno su un frammento di Archiloco e l’altro sulle lettere festali. Infine, la Chronique de lexicographie, relativa alla sezione lessicografica del progetto internazionale Contextes et mobiliers, de l’époque hellénistique à l’époque mamelouke. Approches archéologiques, historiques et anthropologiques (coordinato dall’IFAO), accoglie le tre consuete sezioni: aggiornamento bibliografico (Bulletin), correzioni a testi già editi (Corr.Lex.Mat.), e studi specifici su particolari termini del lessico ‘materiale’ (Études).
Tragedy and Otherness
This book presents a new account of the complex relationship between psychoanalytic theory and the key tragic dramas by Sophocles and Shakespeare in which it has often sought exemplars and prototypes. Examining the close historical and theoretical connections between Freud's interpretative appeal to tragic drama and his professed abandonment of the 'seduction' hypothesis in 1897, the author explores the ways in which otherness has subsequently been simplified out of both psychoanalytic theory and the dramatic texts it endeavours to comprehend. Drawing on Jean Laplanche's critical reformulation of the seduction theory, the book offers close rereadings of Oedipus Tyrannus, Julius Caesar and Hamlet in order to outline an approach to tragedy which takes account of the constitutive priority of the other in the itinerary of the tragic subject. By reopening the theme of seduction in relation to these key literary dramas, the book aims to generate a better understanding both of the function which psychoanalysis has called upon tragedy to perform, and the radical modes of otherness within tragedy for which psychoanalysis has hitherto remained unable to account.
Organizational Traps
Anyone who has spent time in an organization knows that dysfunctional behavior abounds. Conflict is frequently avoided or pushed underground rather than dealt with openly. At the same time, the same arguments often burst out again and again, almost verbatim. Turf battles continue for extended periods without resolution. People nod their heads in agreement in meetings, and then rush out of the room to voice complaints to sympathetic ears in private. Worst of all, when people are asked if things will ever change, they throw up their hands in despair. They feel like victims trapped in an asylum. And people often are trapped. But they are not trapped by some oppressive regime or organizational s...
Micro and Macro Philosophy: Organicism in Biology, Philosophy, and Politics
What role can philosophy play in a world dominated by neoliberalism and globalization? Must it join universalist ideologies as it has in past centuries? Or might it turn to ethnophilosophy and postmodern fragmentation? Universalist cosmopolitanism and egocentric culturalism are not the only alternatives.
