Anita Di Stefano et Marco Onorato (éd.), Lo specchio del modello. Orizzonti intertestuali e Fortleben di Sidonio Apollinare, Napoli, 2020.
Éditeur : Paolo Loffredo
Collection : Collana di Studi Latini
486 pages
ISBN : 978 88 32193 33 6
38,50 €
Il volume, che ospita gli atti di un convegno internazionale tenutosi a Messina nel 2018, si avvale del contributo di tredici specialisti della letteratura latina tardoantica per indagare alcuni versanti ancora inesplorati della prassi intertestuale e della fortuna di Sidonio Apollinare. Dalla tendenza ad effettuare un'incisiva e spesso dissimulata revisione dei materiali tradizionali e a correlare il dialogo con gli auctores ad alcuni temi-chiave del dibattito ideologico e culturale della Gallia del V secolo si deduce che lo scrittore lionese guarda ai modelli non solo come prezioso repertorio di suggestioni espressive e tematiche, ma anche come specchio a cui attingere la coscienza del proprio peculiare statuto letterario, in una feconda dinamica destinata a ripetersi quando saranno invece le sue opere a
giungere nelle mani di dotti lettori delle epoche successive.

Filippo Carlà-Uhink et Anja Wieber (éd.), Orientalism and the Reception of Powerful Women from the Ancient World, London, 2020.

Why is Cleopatra, a descendent of Alexander the Great, a Ptolemy from a Greek–Macedonian family, in popular imagination an Oriental woman? True, she assumed some aspects of pharaonic imagery in order to rule Egypt, but her Orientalism mostly derives from ancient (Roman) and modern stereotypes: both the Orient and the idea of a woman in power are signs, in the Western tradition, of 'otherness' – and in this sense they can easily overlap and interchange.

Filippo Carlà-Uhink, Representations of Classical Greece in Theme Parks, London, 2020.
Éditeur : Bloomsbury Academic
Collection : MAGINES – Classical Receptions in the Visual and Performing Arts
280 pages
ISBN : 9781474297844
£ 59.50
Theme park studies is a growing field in social and cultural studies. Nonetheless, until now little attention has been dedicated to the choice of the themes represented in the parks and the strategies of their representation. This is particularly interesting when the theme is a historical one, for example ancient Greece. Which elements of classical Greece find their way into a theme park and how are they chosen and represented? What is the “entertainment” element in ancient Greek history, culture and myth, which allows its presence in commercial structures aiming to people's fun? How does the representation of Greece change against different cultural backgrounds, e.g. in different European countries, in the USA, in China?

Stanislas Bossard, Les souterrains gaulois en Bretagne et en Normandie occidentale, Rennes, 2020.
Éditeur : Presses Universitaires de Rennes
Collection : Archéologie et culture
232 pages
ISBN : 9782753579859
35 €
Explorés et fouillés depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle, les souterrains de l'âge du Fer constituent l'un des traits caractéristiques des fermes gauloises de la péninsule armoricaine. Depuis les années 1980 a été révélée l'existence de structures similaires dans la plaine de Caen et dans le Bessin en Normandie occidentale, mais aussi de caves boisées. L'étude de plus de 460 aménagements a permis de dresser une typologie des architectures souterraines, d'en préciser les particularités, leur mode de creusement et de construction, leurs liens avec les habitats qui les accueillent et de considérer leur évolution au cours de l'âge du Fer.
