TRANSLATED BY Fitzgerald’s swift rhythms, bright images, and superb English make Homer live as never before . This is for 640 pages • 978-0-374-52905-5 every reader in our time and possibly for all time.” —Library Journal TO THE TEACHER This teacher’s guide is keyed to the Robert Fitzgerald translation of The Iliad. Striking a balance between traditional poetic artistry and immediacy of language, WINNER Fitzgerald gives students the full measure of the original epic’s astonishing power. of THE HAROLD MORTON LANDON Little is certain when it comes to the origins of The Iliad or its partner epic and TRANSLATION AWARD sequel, The Odyssey. Both epics circulated from the dawn of Greek literature under the name of Homer, but who this fabled poet was, and when and where he lived, remain riddles. Already some ancient critics doubted a single poet wrote both epics, and most modern scholars prefer to ascribe the creation and initial shaping of both stories to oral tradition. As legends about heroes and their exploits were handed down from generation to generation over many centuries, bards developed highly formalized language to chant the stories in public performances. These singers had a large repertoire of tales from which they chose when aiming to satisfy a particular audience’s demand, or more likely the request of the local lord.

  • Were Constructed on Unacknowledged Hierarchies of Race, Class, and Gender
    Volume 48, Number 2, Fall 2016, pp. 171-178 Book Reviews 175 were constructed on unacknowledged hierarchies of race, class, and gender. Troublingly, Malin sees many similar contemporary examples of this deeply problematic rhetoric continuing to shape popular understandings of emerging technologies. In the final chapter, Malin critiques some of these contemporary examples of media physicalism, including the works of Steven Johnson, Nicholas Carr, and Gary Small & Gigi Vorgan. In place of what he argues are reductive and essentialist assumptions of this perspective, he advocates “theorizing media in a way that foregrounds the historical and rhetorical situatedness of our experiences with technology and emotion” in ways that make possible “a more self-conscious understanding of our discussions” (pp. 224-225). The book provides well-researched and carefully documented examples of how media physicalism shaped scholarly and popular understandings of emerging technologies in the early part of the twentieth century. Recent scholarship in media studies has included a growing interest in historical perspectives on the cultural impact of new media technologies, as well as the role of affect in mediated communication. Feeling Mediated brings these threads together in ways that make important contributions to the field. Thomas P. Oates University of Iowa Sahlstein Parcell, E., & Webb, L. M. (Eds.). (2015).

ISBN: 9781433123290 As a communication scholar and United States military veteran, I have often felt something was missing in my own discipline due to the dearth of scholarly resources focusing on a topic which I find to have an important impact on every researcher in this nation—the military, the defenders of freedom who provide us with the academic freedom to pursue whatever areas of research we choose.

  • Orality, Fluid Textualization and Interweaving Themes
    Orality,Fluid Textualization and Interweaving Themes. Some Remarks on the Doloneia: Magical Horses from Night to Light and Death to Life Anton Bierl * Introduction: Methodological Reflection The Doloneia, Book 10 of the Iliad, takes place during the night and its events have been long interpreted as unheroic exploits of ambush and cunning. First the desperate Greek leader Agamemnon cannot sleep and initiates a long series of wake-up calls as he seeks new information and counsel. When the Greeks finally send out Odysseus and Diomedes, the two heroes encounter the Trojan Dolon who intends to spy on the Achaeans. They hunt him down, and in his fear of death, Dolon betrays the whereabouts of Rhesus and his Thracian troops who have arrived on scene late. Accordingly, the focus shifts from the endeavor to obtain new knowledge to the massacre of enemies and the retrieval of won- drous horses through trickery and violence. * I would like to thank Antonios Rengakos for his kind invitation to Thessalo- niki, as well as the editors of this volume, Franco Montanari, Antonios Renga- kos and Christos Tsagalis. Besides the Conference Homer in the 21st Century,I gave other versions of the paper at Brown (2010) and Columbia University (CAM, 2011). I am grateful to the audiences for much useful criticism, partic- ularly to Casey Dué, Deborah Boedeker, Marco Fantuzzi, Pura Nieto Hernan- dez, David Konstan, Kurt Raaflaub and William Harris for stimulating conver- sations. Only after the final submission of this contribution, Donald E. Lavigne granted me insight into his not yet published manuscript “Bad Kharma: A ‘Fragment’ of the Iliad and Iambic Laughter” in which he detects iambic reso- nances in the Doloneia, and I received a reference to M.F.

  • Civilian Oversight: the Mod and Defence Secretariat: Mandate, Activities and Key Personalities
    Chapter 5 Civilian oversight: The MoD and Defence Secretariat: mandate, activities and key personalities It is well to remember that in a Parliamentary democracy, cabinet is meant to be merely an executive committee of the legislature. Ministers should therefore at all times accountable to Parliament, which normally maintains a number of non-executive committees to supervise departmental policy and to hold the executive, both ministers and officials, accountable for spending as well as the achievement of set goals. What is civil versus civilian oversight? The debate regarding the difference between civil and civilian, or in clearer terms, the distinction between democratic civil control of the armed forces, in contrast to merely having a civilian in charge, is a new, yet important, one in the field of civil-military relations (CMR). For a long time it was assumed that making the military answerable to a civilian was the same as making the armed services democratically accountable. CMR is largely a post-World War Two phenomenon, yet from the start it seemed to escape them that nearly all the military leaders of that conflict were civilians. Hitler was an elected leader turned despot, as was Mussolini, as was Robert Mugabe – several times over. Stalin did not believe in elections unless he knew the outcome in advance, but he too was a civilian until 1943 when he gave himself military rank – a development Churchill copied. In a recent paper 1 on CMR, Dr Anthony Foster, director of research at the Department of Defence Studies at King’s College, London, as well as at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, argued that “questions concerning civilian control of the armed forces in the Cold War period emphasised ‘civilian’ rather than ‘democratic’ control of the military.

  • Introduction What Is the Relationship Between the Role of the Modern
    Introduction What is the relationship between the role of the modern German military and the formation of German national identity today? Over fifty years have passed since the end of the Second World War and the trauma of the Nazi campaign still haunts the concept of a German military force. However, Germany’s authoritarian past did not prevent it from participating in NATO missions in Bosnia. It is unclear how Germany’s tragic history has affected its recent decision to station troops abroad. Indeed, Germany is grappling with both a “normalized” and nuanced military role. Given the tone of recent news coverage, political discourse and elements of pop culture regarding the military, I argue that the role of the military in Germany exemplifies the overarching problematic affecting the postwar norms of German national identity. As the largest country in the EU and third largest economy in the world, Germany’s actions and reputation prove to be regionally and internationally significant. German leadership and representation in international bodies communicate strategic interests and present strong voices in the formulation of policy, which inevitably achieve global impact. The military philosophy of the United States has pushed the European continent and the international community to prioritize the discussion of preemptive military ventures and foreign occupational forces and to articulate both oppositional and complementary security positions. It has therefore also become a political necessity for the German government and the extension of its power as a member of international organizations to deal with the heightened importance of issues of global terrorism (in particular, as dictated by the U.S.).
