Il teatro greco racchiude in sè tre componenti (politica, religiosa e agonale) che l'hanno caratterizzato facendone una delle più significative testimonianze della cultura occidentale. In questa monografia se ne ripercorrono i tratti peculiari relativi alla messa in scena ed alla drammaturgia. L'autore ha orientato la propria ricerca su due filoni precipui: lo studio dell'Historia Augusta (e.g. La Vita Aelii dell'H.A., Aracne 2007; Avidio Cassio. Aspetti storici e letterari di una secessione, Aracne, 2011, in stampa), e quello del dramma antico attraverso l'esame di alcune figure del mito e delle loro rielaborazioni moderne nonché degli elementi strutturali della drammaturgia grecoromana (e.g. Il teatro antico a Roma, Libellula, 2009; Andromaque, je pense à vous: il viaggio di Andromaca, in "Zetesis", XXIX 2 (2009), pp. 22-37; Eracle: il semidio, in "Zetesis", XXX 2 (2010), pp. 48-69.). Attualmente è cultore della materia in lingua latina presso la Facoltà di Lettere di Cagliari.

I. Ziogas, Law and Love in Ovid

Ioannis Ziogas, Law and Love in Ovid. Courting Justice in the Age of Augustus, Oxford, 2021.

In classical scholarship, the presence of legal language in love poetry is commonly interpreted as absurd and incongruous. Ovid's legalisms have been described as frivolous, humorous, and ornamental. Law and Love in Ovid challenges this wide-spread, but ill-informed view. Legal discourse in Latin love poetry is not incidental, but fundamental. Inspired by recent work in the interdisciplinary field of law and literature, Ioannis Ziogas argues that the Roman elegiac poets point to love as the site of law's emergence.
The Latin elegiac poets may say 'make love, not law', but in order to make love, they have to make law. Drawing on Agamben, Foucault, and Butler, Law and Love in Ovid explores the juridico-discursive nature of Ovid's love poetry, constructions of sovereignty, imperialism, authority, biopolitics, and the ways in which poetic diction has the force of law. The book is methodologically ambitious, combining legal theory with historically informed closed readings of numerous primary sources.

800 pages
ISBN : 9780198703013
£ 110.00

Biography is one of the most widespread literary genres worldwide. Biographies and autobiographies of actors, politicians, Nobel Prize winners, and other famous figures have never been more prominent in book shops and publishers' catalogues. This Handbook offers a wide-ranging, multi-authored survey on biography in Antiquity from its earliest representatives to Late Antiquity. It aims to be a broad introduction and a reference tool on the one hand, and to move significantly beyond the state-of-the-art on the other. To this end, it addresses conceptual questions about this sprawling genre, offers both in-depth readings of key texts and diachronic studies, and deals with the reception of ancient biography across multiple eras up to the present day. In addition, it takes a wide approach to the concept of ancient biography by examining biographical depictions in different textual and visual media (epigraphy, sculpture, architecture) and by providing outlines of biographical developments in ancient and late antique cultures other than Graeco-Roman.
Highly accessible, this book aims at a broad audience ranging from specialists to newcomers in the field. Chapters provide English translations of ancient (and modern) terminology and citations. In addition, all individual chapters are concluded by a section containing suggestions for further reading on their specific topic.

ISBN : 978-90-04-44502-4

Usages of the Past in Roman Historiography contains 11 articles on how the Ancient Roman historians used, and manipulated, the past. What did they seek to accomplish by participating in its re-creation, what tools did they have at their disposal to do so, and which underlying conceptualisations of history can we glimpse behind their efforts? Key themes include the impact of the transformation from Republic to Empire on the production of history, the nature of intertextuality in historical writing, and the frontiers between history and other literary genres. The volume, edited by Aske Damtoft Poulsen and Arne Jönsson, encompasses diverse approaches to the study of Roman history and historiography, with contributors from the UK, US, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, and Italy.

Le professeur Charles Guittard, spécialiste, notamment, d'histoire et de religion romaines, a mis fin à sa carrière à l'Université en 2017. À cette occasion Mathilde Simon et Étienne Wolff, deux de ses proches collègues et amis, ont préparé en son honneur ce recueil de Mélanges. Plus de cinquante contributions, dues à des savants reconnus, français et étrangers, et centrées sur les domaines d'intérêt de Charles Guittard, comme on peut le voir par sa bibliographie qui figure en tête du volume. Au-delà d'une variété inhérente au genre, le livre présente donc une claire unité. Ses élèves, ses amis, ses collègues, y continuent le dialogue intellectuel qu'ils ont toujours entretenu avec lui.

Sur la commune de Barzan (Charente-Maritime), se trouve une agglomération romaine qui a été durant l'Antiquité un des principaux ports de la façade atlantique, le port de la capitale provinciale que fut Saintes. Des fouilles réalisées entre 2002 et 2009 par l'université Bordeaux Montaigne ont mis au jour un vaste entrepôt à cour qui témoigne de la fonction économique du site. Le monument a connu une histoire complexe durant un laps de temps relativement bref au cours du IIe s. p.C. Des études pluridisciplinaires permettent d'en saisir tous les aspects. Ce type de construction organisé autour d'une cour correspond à des édifices de grande taille dont on retrouve de nombreux exemples à Ostie, le port de Rome. Un catalogue des entrepôts de Gaule permet de mettre en perspective le bâtiment de Barzan qui apparaît comme une construction majeure des provinces gauloises.
