  • Greek Past”: Religion, Tradition, Self
    Acts of Identification and the Politics of the “Greek Past”: Religion, Tradition, Self by Vaia Touna A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Religious Studies University of Alberta © Vaia Touna, 2015 ABSTRACT This study is about a series of operational acts of identification, such as interpretations, categorizations, representations, classifications, through which past materials have acquired their meaning and therefore identity. Furthermore, this meaning- making will be demonstrated always to be situational and relational in the sense that the meaning of past material is a historical product created by strategic historic agents through their contemporary acts of identification and, as situated historical products, they are always under scrutiny and constant re-fabrication by yet other historical agents who are on the scene with yet other goals. It will also be evident throughout this study that meanings (identities) do not transcend time and space, and neither do they hide deep in the core of material artifacts awaiting to be discovered. The Introduction lays the theoretical and methodological framework of the study, situating its historiographical and sociological interests in the study of identities and the past, arguing for an approach that looks at the processes and techniques by which material and immaterial artifacts acquire their meaning. In Chapter 1 I look at scholarly interpretations as an operational act of identification; by the use of such anachronisms (which are inevitable when we study the past) as the term religion and the idea of the individual self, a certain widely-shared, and thoroughly modern understanding of Euripides’ play Hippolytus was made possible.

Promoting the Athenian Amphiaraos as the Healer and Protector of Attika 6. Conclusions 1. Introduction Ancient Greek medicine has only enjoyed a marginal role in the history of medicine. Scientific aspect of medicine was more of interest, so its history was mainly aimed at tracing back the birth of scientific thoughts. Therefore, the focus of ancient Greek medicine was given mainly to investigating the surviving Hippocratic corpus and its philosophy. The healing gods of the Greek world and their magical treatments seemed This work was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF-2019S1A6A3A04058286). * Research Professor, Ancient Greek History, the HK+ Institute for Integrated Medical Humanities, the Institute of Humanities, Kyung Hee University, Korea / email: [email protected] 275│ 醫史學 제29권 제1호(통권 제64호) 275-310, 2020년 4월 │275 LEE Sangduk : Amphiaraos, the Healer and Protector of Attika less appealing to the researchers.
