Hence the predominant emphasis, in this volume, is on Greek topics rather than on Latin. I am indebted to the papyrologist Professor Gerald M. Browne, who served as assistant to the editor for the volume. The publication of this volume was possible thanks to a substantial grant by an extremely generous private donor who prefers to remain anonymous. My gratitude to the donor is sincere and immense. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Mark Naoumides (1931- 1977), Professor of Classics in the University of Illinois at Urbana (1962- 1977)- Opinions expressed by contributors are not necessarily shared by the editor.

FINCH Mark Naoumides (1931-1977): List of Publications 273 1 Xenophanes on Drinking-Parties and Olympic Games^ MIROSLAV MARCOVICH Unlike the early Presocratics (Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes) , the thinkers between 550 and 450 B.C. (Pythagoras, Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles) all had the ambition of being enlighteners. In their endeavors, some even invoked divine assistance and authority (Pythagoras, Parmenides, Empedocles). The traveling sage Xenophanes of Colophon lived a long life of at least ninety-five years (ca. 570-475). He himself attests to his writing elegiac poetry at the age of ninety-two (B 8 Diels-Kranz). Of his rich harvest, however, only 120 lines survive. They fall into three categories, (i) A philosophical poem in hexameters, probably called Tlepl cpvaios andvTwv ("On the essence of all things"), dealing with God, with human know- ledge, and with natural phenomena (only 28 lines are extant). (2) At least four or five books of UlWoi, short parodies in hexameters and iambics, ridiculing almost everybody: Homer and Hesiod, Epimenides (B 20), Pythagoras (B 7), Simonides (B 21), Lasos of Hermione (A 16), and others (only 24 lines survive). (3) The lion's share, however, belongs to Xenophanes' elegiac poetry (with 68 extant lines). This is a poetry of exhortation and good advice, and I think it is this TrapaiveriKov yevos which enabled the wandering sage to keep soul and body together, while traveling from one Greek city to another and reciting his practical philosophy in verse-form, all the way from Colophon and Paros to Zancle, Catana, and the rich court of Hieron of Syracuse in Sicily. Thanks to Athenaeus two of his elegies survive complete (or almost complete). But for some reason 1 This is an enlarged version of a lecture delivered at the Johns Hopkins University, at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, and at the University of Illinois at Urbana. I am indebted to Professors Bernard M. W. Knox, Georg Luck, James H. Oliver, and James W.

Typological Studies of Ancient Theatre Architecture: The Tree vs. the Rhizome Model Zeynep Aktüre This paper aims to draw attention to a comparatively recent paradigm shift in studies on ancient theatre architecture that has resulted in a transformation of the rather familiar theatre typology based on Greek-Roman binarism to one which stresses a multiplicity in the ancient performance building types that escapes a representation of the binary model; and explains this change by a parallel shift of emphasis from the idea of commonness to that of plurality in the conceptualisation of European cultural identity. Such contextualisation of the modern historiography on ancient theatre architecture in contemporary Europe, where we find the origins of archaeology as a discipline, would conform to the idea that ‘archaeological interpretation is necessarily a subjective process which is influenced by the socio-political context in which it takes place’ (Jones and Graves-Brown 1996: 19).

  • Graphic Narrative: Comics in Contemporary Art
    An Elective Course for Undergraduate and Graduate Students of any discipline and for English Language Students GRAPHIC NARRATIVE IN CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE & ART: EVOLUTION OF COMIC BOOK TO GRAPHIC NOVEL Basic Requirements: Appropriate language skills required by the University. This course should be of interest to anyone concerned with verbal & visual communications, popular forms, mass culture, history and its representation, colonialism, politics, journalism, writing, philosophy, religion, mythology, mysticism, metaphysics, cultural exchanges, aesthetics, post-modernism, theatre, film, comic art, collections, popular art & culture, literature, fine arts, etc. This course may have a specific appeal to fans and/or to those who are curious about this vastly influential, widely popular, most complex and thought-provoking work of contemporary literature and art form, the ‘Comics’; however it does not presume a prior familiarity with graphic novels and/or comics, just an overall enthusiasm to learn new things from a new angle and an open mind. Prerequisites: FA489: ‘By consent’ selection of students. FA490: Upon successful completion of FA489. Co-requisites: FA489: Freshmen who graduated from a high school with an English curriculum or passed BU proficiency test with an A; & sophomore, junior, senior students.

Idea Description: Is ‘comics’ a form of both literature and art? Certainly the answer is “yes” but there are many people who reject the idea, yet many other people call those people old-school intellectuals. However, in recent years, many scholars, critics and faculty alike have accepted ‘comics’, often dubbed by many publishers as ‘graphic novel’, as a respected form of both literature and art.

  • “AN EFFEMINATE PRINCE”:GENDER CONSTRUCTION in SHAKESPEARE’S FIRST TETRALOGY Miguel Angel González Campos Universidad De Málaga
    id3022796 pdfMachine by Broadgun Software - a great PDF writer! - a great PDF creator! - http://www.pdfmachine.com http://www.broadgun.com “AN EFFEMINATE PRINCE”:GENDER CONSTRUCTION IN SHAKESPEARE’S FIRST TETRALOGY Miguel Angel González Campos Universidad de Málaga In the emphatically masculine world of Shakespeare’s History Plays, the king Henry VI shows some unequivocally feminine features. This character is particularly revealing to understand the underlying gender ideology in the first tetralogy. The aim of this paper is to approach this “effeminate prince,” as he is called in the play, who neglects his duties as a ruler and as a man, and to discuss the implications of his behaviour in order to analyse how these plays construct a gender system in which femininity and masculinity are defined by mutual opposition and in which power, an element clearly belonging to the male sphere, can have disastrous consequences when it is exerted by weak non-masculine men. In the first scene of 1 Henry VI Gloucester uses the expression “an effeminate prince” (I1.35) to refer to the King. In the “emphatically masculine” world (Kahn 1981: 47) of Shakespeare’s History Plays the adjective “effeminate” has a priori an undeniable pejorative sense. However, the loyalty and the respect to the King which Gloucester displays at all times throughout the play suggest that these words are used with a strictly descriptive rather than offensive intention to represent the figure of Henry VI. Although some critics such as J. P. Brockbank have explicitly denied the “feminine character” of this king (1961: 97) it seems clear that a certain feminine quality exists in the figure of Henry VI.

  • Riegl and Darwin: Evolutionary Models of Art and Life Harriet Kate Sophie Mcatee Bsc, Barts (Hons)
    Riegl and Darwin: Evolutionary Models of Art and Life Harriet Kate Sophie McAtee BSc, BArts (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Communications and Arts Harriet McAtee Abstract Austrian art historian Alois Riegl (1858-1905), a core member of the first Vienna School of Art History that flourished during the late-nineteenth century, is widely acknowledged as one of the key figures of art history leading into the twentieth century, and remembered for his then-radical treatises that used formal analysis to narrate a history of the evolution of artistic forms. The uniqueness of Riegl’s project, in which he developed a model that emphasised both the instances of continuity and innovation in the history of art, stands alone amongst his contemporaries, and has kinship with the evolutionary theories proposed by Charles Darwin (1809-1882). Riegl was preoccupied with delineating the uninterrupted history of art’s evolution, which accounted not only for changes in form and style, but also the function and role of art in society. However, despite intriguing analogies between Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection and Riegl’s model for the continuous evolution of art, the relationship between Riegl and Darwin has remained largely unexplored. Over the past two decades, contemporary interest in Riegl has surged, as art historians uncover his ongoing relevance to questions which preoccupy their current investigations. However, interaction with Riegl has largely been delineated by a framework of Hegelian aesthetics and art history, which as this thesis will demonstrate, does not appropriately account for the uniqueness of Vienna’s intellectual context, in which Darwinism was hugely popular.

  • Die Alte Geschichte in Wien Und Die Aktuelle Österreichische Forschung Zum Antiken Barbaricum
    DIE ALTE GESCHICHTE IN WIEN UND DIE AKTUELLE ÖSTERREICHISCHE FORSCHUNG ZUM ANTIKEN BARBARICUM Kurt Tomaschitz & Igor Lisový Abstract The paper deals with the question of research of Classical Antiquity in Austria, first of all at the University of Vienna, and also problems of „barbaricum“ in the contemporary Austrian historiography. The emphasis is put on the role of G. Dobesch, Professor of the University of Vienna. Zum 65. Geburtstag von Gerhard Dobesch, O. Prof. für Römische Geschichte, Altertumskunde und Epigraphik an der Universität Wien In der Geschichte des Instituts für Alte Geschichte und Altertumskunde, Papyrologie und Epigraphik der Wiener Universität1 sind zwei Daten von besonderer Bedeutung: das Jahr 1876, als das Archäologisch-epigraphische Seminar gegründet wurde, das schon vor dem ersten Weltkrieg zu einem der bekanntesten europäischen Zentren für die Erforschung der Geschichte und der Kultur des Altertums wurde, und das Jahr 1984, als aus dieser Institution zwei neue entstanden—das Institut für Klassische Archäologie und das Institut für Alte Geschichte, Altertumskunde und Epigraphik. Zur Entwicklung der Altertumswissenschaften, vor allem der Klassischen Archäologie, trug maßgeblich Alexander Conze († 1914) bei, der besonderen Wert auf die Kenntnis nicht nur der archäologischen, sondern auch der schriftlichen Quellen legte; seit dem Jahre 1869 war er Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Klassische Archäologie2. Seit 1876 führte er gemeinsam mit Professor Otto Hirschfeld—zuvor Professor der Universitäten in Göttingen und in Prag und Schüler Theodor Mommsens—das Archäologisch-epigraphische Seminar und ein Jahr später begann er die „Archäologisch-epigraphischen Mitteilungen aus Österreich-Ungarn“ herauszu- geben, die nach dem Jahr 1898 durch die „Jahreshefte des Österreichischen Archäo- logischen Instituts“ ersetzt wurden.

Shakespeare's H enriadic Monarchy and ChaucerianlElizabethan Religion Paul A. Olson Shakespeare, interpreting late medieval English history from the ages of Geoffrey and Thomas Chaucer, gives us a second tetralogy (1595-99) that less defends the "Tudor myth" than creates a lens for viewing the formation of a unitary religious/political culture. Writing near the end of Elizabeth's reign, after serious Catholic insurrection had quieted, he examines how Act of Supremacy sacerdotal monarchy eschew rebellion and decadence, creat­ ing eidola paralleling Chaucer s Canterbury Tales ones. ill the latter, Chaucer presented, to the court narratives of Catholic clerical failure Jovinian deca­ dence and th po Ibility of reformed penance. However Sbakespeare tw-ns, for his salvific, from honest penance-Chaucer's solution-to royal contri­ tion and honest action. The second Henriad debunks old polarities of con­ formity and non-confomuty by celebrating the monarch's sen e of nationa.l religion and recapitulating unifying themes about celibacy, repentance and rebellion from the age of Chaucer, bringing Elizabethan religious polemics to the stage in a fashion that emulates Chaucer's dramatic court readings in his time and place.
