Description
Framing Classical Reception Studies contains a representative number of analytic and synthetic contributions by scholars from diverse parts of the field of Classical Reception Studies. Together, they afford a synoptic view and typology of an extremely large and continuously diversifying discipline. Attentive to questions such as what, by whom, in what contexts and to what ends Classics have functioned and are functioning in our culture, all contributors ask themselves from what conceptual or disciplinary frame they approach the reception of the cultures of classical Greek and Roman antiquity. Within this questioning format, the book also contains suggestions for future agendas of research, and forcefully argues for the political, cultural and cognitive relevance of classical receptions in the Academy.
Reviews / Votes
"Il faut redire l'excellente impression que nous laisse la lecture de cet ouvrage, dans lequel les articles sont accessibles et peu jargonneux. Les quelques images en couleur sont les bienvenues et les exemples developpes au fil des chapitres sont assez originaux compte-tenu des publications antecedentes sur le meme sujet. Les << cadres >> analytiques tres riches et les enjeux poses par les editeurs sont largement respectes, et de maniere convaincante." - Mathieu Scapin, in: Anabases. Traditions et Receptions de l'Antiquite 29.10.2021"'Insgesamt liefert der Band aber einen sehr anregenden UEberblick ueber die neuste Forschung zum Thema; nuetzlich ist auch der ausfuehrliche kommentierte Abschnitt mit weiterfuehrender Literatur am Ende jedes Beitrags." - Balbina Baebler, in: Sehepunkte. Rezensionsjournal fuer die Geschichtswissenschaften 02.2022
