paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Zustand: Gut. XII, 248 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Scratches and friction on the dustjacket. Overall good and clean. - Current interpretations of Apuleius Golden Ass cover the entire spectrum from a religious autobiography to an incongruous collection of titillating stories. The goal of this book is to explain the extraordinary polyphony of Apuleius novel as a product of the 2nd century CE context, in which elite culture (philosophy and sophistic oratory) and popular entertainment not only share the same venues and appeal to the same audiences but also engage in active exchange of subject matter and histrionic techniques. The book argues that Apuleius narrative represents a mosaic of discourses each of which possesses a respectable pedigree in the world of Greco- Roman paideia. It further traces the ensuing ambiguity to the Second Sophistic rhetoric and concludes that the particular thrill of reading the novel consists in the ironic frustration of any attempt to discover a centripetal force in an irreducibly multi-polar text.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Greek Literature and the Ideal contends that the development of Greek literature was motivated by the need to endow political geography with a sense of purposeful structure. Alexander Kirichenko argues that Greek literature was a crucial factor in the cultural production of space, and Greek geography a crucial factor in the production of literary meaning. The book focuses on the idealizing images that Greek literature created of three spatial patterns of power distribution: a decentralized network of aristocratically governed communities (Archaic Greece); a democratic city controlling an empire (Classical Athens); and a microcosm of Greek culture located on foreign soil, ruled by quasi-divine royals, and populated by immigrants (Ptolemaic Alexandria). Kirichenko draws connections between the formation of these idealizing images and the emergence of such literary modes of meaning making as the authoritative communication of the truth, the dialogic encouragement to search for the truth on one's own, and the abandonment of transcendental goals for the sake of cultural memory and/or aesthetic pleasure. Readings of such canonical Greek authors as Homer, Hesiod, the tragedians, Thucydides, Plato, Callimachus, and Theocritus show that the pragmatics of Greek literature (the sum total of the ideological, cognitive, and emotional effects that it seeks to produce) is, in essence, always a pragmatics of space: there is a strong correlation between the historically conditioned patterns of political geography and the changing mechanisms whereby Greek literature enabled its recipients to make sense of their world. Alexander Kirichenko argues that the development of Greek literature was motivated by the need to endow political geography with a sense of purposeful structure. The discussion focuses on how power and space were understood in the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods.

Zustand: Neu. Senecas Tragödien und die Rhetorik des Sehens. Die moderne Rezeption der Tragödien Senecas wird von den Oppositionen zwischen Rhetorik und Theater und zwischen Philosophie und Literatur dominiert. Die Studie hat zum Ziel, dieses dualistische Denken zu überwinden. Das gelingt vor allem durch eine Analyse der rhetorischen Mechanismen, die dazu dienen, den visuell überwältigenden Effekt der senecanischen Rhetorik in einen kognitiven Prozess zu transformieren. Senecas Rhetorik des Sehens wird anschließend sowohl im Kontext der kaiserzeitlichen visuellen Ästhetik als auch innerhalb von Senecas philosophischem Oeuvre betrachtet. Als Folge entsteht ein differenzierteres Porträt des 'Seneca tragicus', dessen Rhetorik zutiefst theatralisch ist, dessen dramatische Dynamik durch die statische Rhetorik ihre Kraft überhaupt erst entfalten kann, der literarische Anspielungen zu philosophischen Zwecken verwendet und gerade in seinen philosophischsten Momenten vor allem ein Dichter bleibt. Die Untersuchung der tragischen Poetik Senecas gliedert sich in einen analytischen ersten Teil "Ekphrasis und Metatheater" (Einzelstudien der sieben Tragödien) und einen synthetischen zweiten Teil "Schock und Erkenntnis" (zwei Kontextualisierungen und einen synthetisch abschließender Gesamtblick auf Senecas tragisches Werk als Ganzes). -- Teil 1 des Buches besteht aus sieben 'close readings'. Dabei wird jede Tragödie als eigenständiges (und einzigartiges) Konstrukt einzeln gewürdigt. Nicht nur die Ähnlichkeiten, sondern auch die nicht weniger bedeutsamen Unterschiede zwischen einzelnen Stücken sollen zum Vorschein kommen. Die Abfolge der senecanischen Tragödien bildet eine für die tragische Poetik Senecas so charakteristische Steigerung, die mit der Besprechung des "entfesselten Überbietungskünstlers" Atreus in Kapitel 7 ihren Gipfelpunkt erreicht. Dem ersten analytischen Teil folgen drei verallgemeinernde Kapitel von Teil 2: In Kapiteln 8 und 9 werden zwei verschiedene Aspekte der senecanischen Rhetorik des Sehens aus dem zeitgenössischen kulturellen Kontext heraus erklärt. Zunächst wird Senecas überbietende visuelle Ästhetik im Kontext dessen, was man am ehesten als kaiserzeitliche Popkultur bezeichnen könnte analysiert, womit vor allem die mit der römischen Arena verbundene Unterhaltungsindustrie und deren Einfluss auf die zeitgenössische Literatur und Kunst gemeint ist. Anschließend wird Senecas Betonung des kognitiven Aspektes des Sehens im Kontext seines gesamten literarischen Oeuvres betrachtet. Ziel ist dabei zu zeigen, dass seine philosophischen Schriften, vor allem die Briefe, auf einer ähnlichen Rhetorik des Sehens basieren wie die Tragödien. Durch diese Erkenntnis kommt die philosophische Bedeutung der Tragödien viel deutlicher (und gleichzeitig viel weniger erzwungen) zum Vorschein als bei den meisten in der Vergangenheit unternommenen Versuchen, in ihnen Spuren der stoischen Orthodoxie aufzudecken. Kapitel 10 widmet sich der senecanischen Chorpartien. Es wird gezeigt, dass die wichtigste Funktion des Chors darin besteht, uns vorzuführen, welche Wirkung Senecas Rhetorik des Sehens auf den Rezipienten haben kann. Das schauspielerische, metatheatralische Oszillieren des Chors zwischen der Bühnenwelt und einer äußeren Zuschauerperspektive, zwischen emotionaler Nähe und philosophischer Distanz, dient dazu, unser Verständnis der Tragödien als einer Reihe lehrreicher Trugbilder, die gerade mittels eines erschütternden visuellen Schocks zur Erkenntnis führen, weiter zu verstärken. -- Aus dem Inhalt: 1.
