Hannah Arendt and Hermann Broch’s “The Death of Virgil” In On Revolution (1963) Hannah Arendt heads one of her chapters with the three La- tin words inscribed on the Great Seal of the United States of America: novus ordo se- clorum, modified from magnus ab integro saeclorum nascitur ordo in line 5 of Virgil’s fourth Eclogue.1 The men of the American revolution, Arendt famously argued, suc- ceeded in founding the political community in a sovereign act of inaugural legislation that instituted a “new order of the centuries” between the “no-longer” of old Euro- pean political and religious precedent and the “not-yet” of salvation on earth for all. In contrast to the French revolution, which failed to distinguish political power from a pre-political natural violence of the multitude, the American statesmen discerned that a revolution carried its authority neither from belief in an immortal legislator nor from the promises of a future state of reward but rather from a pure act of the foun- ding and constituting of freedom itself. The Founding Fathers in this sense “solved the problem of the beginning, of an unconnected, new event breaking into the con- tinuous sequence of historical time”. In altering Virgil’s “the great cycle of periods is born anew” to the “new order of the ages”, the American revolutionaries felt

  • 1 GLOSSARY Abolition
    GLOSSARY Abolition: Movement advocating the immediate end of slavery. The abolitionist movement began in earnest in the United States in the 1820s and expanded under the influence of the Second Great Awakening, a Christian religious movement that emphasized the equality of all men and women in the eyes of God. Most leading abolitionists lived in New England, which had a long history of anti-slavery activity, but the movement also thrived in Philadelphia and parts of Ohio and Indiana. Acrylic paint: Paint made with pigment (color) suspended in acrylic polymer (a synthetic medium), rather than in natural oils, such as linseed, used in oil paints. It is a modern medium that came into use in the 1950s. Unlike oil paint, it is fast drying and water soluble. Additive sculpture: Three-dimensional art made by building up material (such as clay) to produce forms, instead of carving it away. Albumen print: Type of photograph that is printed on paper coated with silver salts (the substance that turns dark when it is exposed to light in a camera) suspended in egg whites (albumen). Albumen prints were more popular than daguerreotypes, which they replaced, because multiple copies could be printed and they were less expensive. Albumen prints were often toned with a gold wash, which gives them a yellowish color. Allegory: Symbolic representation of an idea, concept, or truth. In art, allegories are often expressed through symbolic fictional figures, such as “Columbia,” a woman who represents America; or Father Time, an old man with an hourglass and scythe. 1 Amateur: Someone who studies a subject or participates in a line of work for his or her own enjoyment rather than for financial benefit.

Jupiter's Legacy: The Symbol of the Eagle and Thunderbolt in Antiquity and Their Appropriation by Revolutionary America and Nazi Germany Siddhartha Hayes GRST 360-04 Senior Thesis Introduction The thunderbolt and the eagle, the armament and armour-bearer of Jupiter – these symbols had profound cultural significance to the ancients. At first one may think that what was sacred for the Romans has no bearing on modern society, but in truth these icons retain much of their meaning and importance even over two-thousand years later. The Western world has been obsessed with and reverent towards ancient Rome since its fall, and consequently, many different groups have associated themselves with the Latin city and its people, holding aloft its ideas and culture in an attempt to take up the legacy of the “best and greatest” power.

  • The Great Seal of the United States
    1 The Great Seal of the United States Before it adjourned on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress of the newly independent United States passed a resolution: Resolved, that Dr. Franklin, Mr. J. Adams and Mr. Jefferson, be a committee, to bring in a device for a seal for the United States of America. Thus, three of the five men who had drafted the Declaration of Indepen- dence were brought together in further service to their country. The revolution- aries needed an emblem and national coat of arms to give visible evidence of a sovereign nation and a free people with high aspirations and grand hopes for the future. The task proved far more difficult than anticipated; it took six years, two more committees, and the combined efforts of 14 men before the Great Seal of the United States became a reality on June 20, 1782. 2 Designing a Seal The First Committee The challenge facing the committee was to translate intangible principles and ideals into graphic symbols. Three of the best minds of the Age of Enlightenment— Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson—struggled unsuccessfully with Biblical and classical themes, including the Children of Israel in the Wilderness and the Judgement of Hercules. Finally they sought the help of a talented “drawer” and portrait artist, Portrait artist Du Pierre Eugene du Simitiere. To the post of Simitiere’s design for consultant, Du Simitiere brought some Franklin, Adams, and knowledge of heraldry—the art of describ- Jefferson suggested ing coats of arms—and also experience in shield, Eye of Provi- designing seals.

While researching this study, my veneration for this profession doubled every time I used interlibrary loan. Writing a dissertation while teaching full-time at a community college is a difficult enterprise, and when the college is located in the New Mexican desert, at least a hundred miles from the nearest research university, dust and cacti are sometimes easier to find than scholarly books.
