Pope Michael: Lucretius and the End of
Masculinity

Lucretius and the End of Masculinity

This book gathers a group of scholars whose work has been influenced by the distinctive dialogue between ancient philosophy (and rhetoric) and critical theory promoted by the scholarship of James I. Porter. A classicist who has pushed classics beyond itself - beyond its traditional boundaries - Porter has demonstrated that antiquity cannot be studied without participating in what is sometimes dismissively labeled "reception." The collection here does not simply celebrate the work of a major figure in the field of classics through a series of Porterian writing experiments, but locates the futures of classics in its predisposition to endless transformation, alteration, reconfiguration, and fugitive or exilic deterritorialization. Philology is a practice of philosophy in that contact with the ghosts of antiquity and its diachronic manifestations in modernity confronts the interpreter with opportunities for unlearning as well as learning, unthinking as well as thinking, and for engaging with impossibilities as well as possibilities. The essays gathered here, unified by these themes, include contributions on ancient philosophy (Democritus, the sophists, Aristotle, and Lucretius); reflections on the sublime, which Porter has pivotally elucidated; interventions on the theme of philology and exile (in Nietzsche, Marx, Freud, and Derrida); and theoretical musings on the "agony of immanence," the "biomatic," the "atmospheric," and the relationship between immigration and classical reception.

This study investigates how medieval intellectuals compared their own cultures with others. It aims to establish Cultural Comparisons as an area of medieval studies by looking at some of the outstanding texts, mainly from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries.

A vivid and musical rendering of the poetry of Catullus, whose passionate verses have captivated readers for centuries &nbsp; “Catullus’s verses still ring true, reminding readers that the habits of the heart haven’t changed in millennia.”—Publishers Weekly &nbsp; In the fourteenth century, a manuscript surfaced in Verona that had been lost for more than a thousand years: the poems of Catullus (c. 84–c. 54 BCE), considered by many to be one of the greatest poets who ever lived. These poems, with their beauty, wit, tenderness, and heartbreak, are still as alive and moving today as they were two thousand years ago. &nbsp; They are dense, subtle, witty, ardent, fearless, deeply uncensored, nasty (sometimes), petty (sometimes), and always beautiful. It’s especially his love poems that have earned readers’ admiration over the centuries; the joy and the savage self-inflicted torments that he underwent in his “miserable, disastrous love affair” have been shaped into poems that for honesty and emotional power have few parallels in world literature. &nbsp; Stephen Mitchell, who is known for bringing ancient texts to vibrant new life, has now translated Catullus’s poems for a new generation of readers. These are the first translations of Catullus to reimagine his rhythms in English and thus to let contemporary readers hear the formal beauty of his verse as well as its content, which Robert Lowell calls “much more raw and direct than anything in English.”

Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

This book explores textual and visual representations of breast milk and breastfeeding across a range of literary and artistic genres, beginning with Classical mythology, moving through late-antique and medieval gynaecological texts on wet nursing, and ending with late-medieval hagiographical and mystical literature. It argues that, while the act of breastfeeding and the fluid of breast milk were often categorized as natural and nourishing, their meanings, uses and risks were also debated, problematized, and used to serve specific cultural, political and textual purposes.

This book explores textual and visual representations of breast milk and breastfeeding across a range of literary and artistic genres, beginning with Classical mythology, moving through late-antique and medieval gynaecological texts on wet nursing, and ending with late-medieval hagiographical and mystical literature. It argues that, while the act of breastfeeding and the fluid of breast milk were often categorized as natural and nourishing, their meanings, uses and risks were also debated, problematized, and used to serve specific cultural, political and textual purposes.This volume traces how representations of breast milk were shaped by the shifting projects specific to particular textual and artistic genres, historical and cultural movements, and opinions, fears and desires about the female body, the role of women, and infancy. In this sense, it focuses on the semantic flexibility of breast milk by illustrating the variety of messages it was used to articulate. More broadly, the author explores common metaphors and fantasies about breast milk that coalesce from this broad inquiry – in particular, the construction of the female body as the container of a vacillating economy of fluids of great significance. Although Greco-Roman and medieval representations of breast milk prove this significance to be complex and often contradictory, the notion that this female body fluid had the power to effect profound changes – both psychological and physical – among those who provided it, consumed it, or even witnessed its exchange attests to its enduring value as a material and symbolic medium. This book will contribute significantly to women’s and gender studies and to the history of the body. It will also benefit students and scholars specializing in mythology, the history of medicine, the representation of women in classical and medieval art, early-Christian and medieval hagiography, medieval mysticism, and Marian studies.

How are comics and Latin elegy related? Comics tell their stories by placing individual images in a sequence, and Latin elegy builds narrative through sequence, encouraging readers to connect poems in order to reveal narrativity. Despite this, there has yet to be a definitive methodology that inspires readers to examine the function of this narrative tool. Examining Ovid's Amores, Swain argues a comics-based methodology can offer us important new insights into the ancient genre of Latin elegy. This book applies theories such as the gutter (the space that exists between two comics panels), Groensteen's braiding (the interaction of panels outside of a linear sequence), and the comics page-turn, all to release new readings that reveal the narrative found across the three books of this text. By analysing the way that Ovid creates a complex narrative mosaic in which key characters and motifs repeat across poems, this book explores how story segments are connected into a larger unified narrative.

Narrative in Ovid's Amores

What today we deem as characteristic of the city of Rome was largely the product of one particular ideology of Rome; our understanding of the city's spatial relationships and our sense of its visual familiarity have been orchestrated by the vision of one man, Benito Mussolini. Many students of antiquity are aware that the Fascist regime sponsored excavations throughout Italy and the Mediterranean. Yet perhaps more significant is the fact of Mussolini's creation of the physical vision of Roman antiquity, literally how we view and thereby interpret the Roman city. The dominant vistas from which we study the emblematic Roman monuments were all designed and constructed between 1925 and 1942.

What today we deem as characteristic of the city of Rome was largely the product of one particular ideology of Rome; our understanding of the city’s spatial relationships and our sense of its visual familiarity have been orchestrated by the vision of one man, Benito Mussolini. Many students of antiquity are aware that the Fascist regime sponsored excavations throughout Italy and the Mediterranean. Yet perhaps more significant is the fact of Mussolini’s creation of the physical vision of Roman antiquity, literally how we view and thereby interpret the Roman city. The dominant vistas from which we study the emblematic Roman monuments were all designed and constructed between 1925 and 1942. Mussolini was eager to reveal the ruins of the past to emphasize the ways in which Fascist Italy was a visible improvement on Imperial Rome, and how antiquity relied on modern policies for its very survival. Towards these ends, the Fascist regime was a great supporter of archaeological scholarship and many prominent archaeologists wrote analyses of Roman monuments in genuine support of Fascist principles. The construction of Fascist doctrine and aesthetics developed hand-in-hand with the rise of modern Roman archaeology. This volume seeks to excavate the cultural layer that Fascist ideology placed upon contemporary archaeology, and to understand the ways in which this context continues both to obscure and enlighten our vision of Roman antiquity.

The questions posed by disability studies scholarship are increasingly of interest to medieval studies scholars and there have been a wealth of books published on the intersection of these two fields of research over the past two decades. More recently, medieval scholars have developed a framework for considering more specifically medieval ways of thinking about disability, analyzing the medieval conception of the different or 'othered' body and thinking through 'medieval things': such as the responses to injury and resulting impairment in contemporary law, literature, and art; the impaired body as a site for miraculous transformation; the presence of physical and mental difference in different cultural modes than exist in the modern world; and the role of theosophical thought in characterizing difference. This is the first volume to survey this field as a whole, bringing together the most notable scholars in the field alongside up-and-coming academics, to analyse recent studies and to suggest directions for future research. Chapters are organized into four categories that treat broadly the current questions of the field as they apply to each contributor's area of expertise: Articulations of Difference; Critical Perspectives; Traditions of Medieval Thought; and Disability and Material Cultures. Each category is introduced by a leading figure in the field, and the volume is concluded with an Afterword.
