Between Memory Sites and Memory Networks
Between Memory Sites and Memory Networks Kerstin P. Hofmann Reinhard Bernbeck Ulrike Sommer (eds.) BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD their past? And how did they do so before the age of computers, print- ing, writing? This book takes stock of earlier work on memory in the fi elds of history and the social sciences. Our collection also takes a new look at how past and present social groups have memorialized events and rendered them durable through materializations: con- tributors ask how processes and incidents perceived as negative and disruptive are nonetheless constitutive of group identities. Papers also contrast the monumental- izing treatment given to singular events imbued with a hegemonic meaning to more localized, diverse memory places and networks. As case studies show, such mem- oryscapes invite divergent, multivocal and subversive narratives. Various kinds of these imagined geographies lend themselves to practices of manipulation, preserva- tion and control. The temporal scope of the volume reaches from the late Neolithic to the recent past, resulting in a long-term and multi-focal perspective that demonstrates how the perception of past events changes, acquires new layers and is molded by di erent groups at di erent points in time. As several contributions show, these manipula- tions of the past do not always produce the anticipated results, however. Attempts at “post-factual history” are countered by the socially distributed, but spatially and materially anchored nature of the very process of memorialization. 45 · 45 Between Memory Sites and Memory Networks Kerstin P.

Representations of Truth and Falsehood in Hellenistic Poetry
Representations of Truth and Falsehood in Hellenistic Poetry A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of Classics Of the College of Arts and Sciences by Kathleen Kidder B.A. University of Texas at Austin February 2018 Committee Chair: Kathryn J. Gutzwiller, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation examines how five Hellenistic poets represent the processes of evaluating truth and falsehood. Applying the philosophic concept of a criterion of truth, I demonstrate that each poetic persona interrogates truth by suggesting a different kind of criterion. Due to the indebtedness of Hellenistic poetry to previous literature, the second chapter summarizes the evolution of pertinent vocabulary for truth and falsehood, tracking the words’ first appearances in early poetry to their reappearance in Hellenistic verse. In my third chapter, I discuss notions concerning the relationship between truth and poetry throughout Greek literary history. The fourth chapter covers Aratus’ Phaenomena and Nicander’s Theriaca, two poems containing scientific subject matter framed as true. Yet, as I argue, the poems’ contrasting treatments of myths attest to the differences in the knowability of the respective material. In the Phaemomena, a poem about visible signs, Aratus’ myths offer a model for interpreting an ordered Stoic universe via regular and perceptible signs. By contrast, Nicander’s myths replicate the uncertainty of his subject matter (deadly creatures and remedies) and the necessity of direct experience as a criterion. The dichotomy between certainty and uncertainty applies also to the fifth chapter, which analyzes the narratorial voices of Callimachus in the Aetia and Apollonius of Rhodes in the Argonautica. -
