Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 1 month ago
Jednym z następstw, związanych z publikacją Orientalizmu Edwarda W. Saida, było zainicjowanie badań Martina Bernala nad historią starożytnej Grecji i jej późniejszymi reprezentacjami w historiografii, literaturze i filozofii. Nie byłoby w tym fakcie zapewne nic dziwnego, gdyby nie to, że ten Brytyjczyk urodzony w 1937 roku w Londynie, wywodzący…[Read more]

Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 4 months ago
Over the last four decades of the 18th century, the image of Sparta began to include a few characteristic elements that later became an important point of reference for 19th-century writers, philosophers and historians. Issues of Spartan equality of citizens, fully responsible for their country, and also soldierly honour and Sparta’s military c…[Read more]

Whenever we think of “literary travel,” or “travel literature”, we are liable to encounter the history and poetics of genres forming an essential part of what we call literary history.
In this paper I seek to explore the “great literary voyages” that were to substantially contribute to the Western canon. The travels and trials of Odysseus in…[Read more]Miklos Mezosi deposited Két új Szapphó-vers első magyar fordítása in the group

Ernest Metzger deposited Roman Law in the group
Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 5 months, 3 weeks ago
The Romans developed a sophisticated body of law over one thousand years. The law was consulted and used in medieval and modern Europe, and from Europe it was exported around the world. Many modern legal systems are based, or partly indebted to, Roman law. The Roman legal tradition endured, even as specific rules fell away. The success of the…[Read more]

Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 5 months, 3 weeks ago
The book is dedicated to the presence of Greek history in the works of Cyprian Norwid. According to the poet, the Greek origins contributed to the creation of mechanisms that make it possible to diagnose the spiritual condition of the contemporary times through analyzing its relation to the Greek myth of the “Golden Age”. Ideologization of the way…[Read more]

Wir verfügen insgesamt über wenige Quellen zur Verfassungsgeschichte und dem

Aus historischer Sicht sind genauere Definitionen, Abgrenzungen und ethnische Zuweisungen der

Roland Steinacher deposited Wenden, Slawen, Vandalen. Eine frühmittelalterliche pseudologische Gleichsetzung und ihre Nachwirkungen in the group
Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 1 year, 6 months ago
Aufgrund der Vorstellungen der ‚fränkischen Völkertafel‘ erlaubte die Gleichung Wenden = Vandalen die Einordnung der Slawen in die anerkannten Völkergenealogien. Die Gleichsetzung Wenden = Vandalen zeugt von den Schwierigkeiten, die ethnische Landschaft Osteuropas im Frühmittelalter zu klassifizieren. Diese Gleichsetzung wurde vor dem Stadium…[Read more]

Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 1 year, 6 months ago
Zusammenfassung: Aus der schriftlichen Überlieferung der antiken Ethnographie kennen wir ethnische Bezeichnungen oder Gentilnamen, deren Bedeutungen und Bedeutungskontinuitäten oft nur schwer zu fassen sind. In den Peripherieräumen des Imperiums agierten gentes bzw. ἔθνη. Die römische und griechische Literatur bietet diesbezüglich aber keine…[Read more]

Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 1 year, 6 months ago
For more than four hundred years, up to the accession of the present king Carl XVI Gustaf in 1973, did the Swedish monarchs hold the title “King of the Wends“. The first evidence of this claim dates from the reign of Gustav I Vasa (1523-1560), who adopted the title Sveriges, Göthes och Wendes Konung in official sources around the year 1540. In L…[Read more]

This essay will show, however, that the text is not linked to diplomas, but belonged to an African version of Prosper’s chronicle. I will propose a new edition, which will put the text back in its original context. Rather than looking for ‘good’ and ‘bad’ texts according to 19th-century categories, I will try to analyze the specific character…[Read more]

In this article Stephe Harrop combines theatre history and performance analysis with contemporary agonistic theory to re-conceptualize Greek tragedy’s contested spaces as key to the political potentials of the form.

Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 2 years ago
This chapter examines the impact of a putative oral Homer upon the work of recent performance-makers. The influence of oral-poetic theories is (as yet) an under-explored area of study, neglected by scholars whose literary expertise leads them to focus on dramatic texts and production histories, with each revisionary text or production regarded as…[Read more]

This essay examines Giambattista Vico’s philology as a contribution to democratic legitimacy. I outline three steps in Vico’s account of the historical and political development of philological knowledge: first, his merger of philosophy and philology, and the effects of that merger on the relative claims of reason and authority; second, his use…[Read more]

Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 2 years, 9 months ago
The Middle Commentary on Aristotle’s Poetics by the Andalusian philosopher Ibn Rushd (d. 1198) has been treated by commentators as wide-ranging as Borges, Renan, and Kilito as an exemplary case of the failure of translation. Critics who presume Ibn Rushd’s failure often concentrate on his rendering of Aristotle’s tragedy and comedy by praise…[Read more]

Classical Tradition on Humanities Commons 2 years, 10 months ago
This paper has two parts. First, I examine Basil of Caesarea’s theological anthropology and show how he understands the human being as a body-soul unity. The body is the good instrument of the soul. It is marvelous because it has been molded by God’s own hands. In the second part, I examine what I call Basil’s theological physiology, which flows…[Read more]
