Pausanias, the Greek historian and traveler, lived and wrote during the second century AD, when Greece was part of the Roman Empire. The constant intermingling of cultures during this time, as voyagers criss-crossed imperial borders, fostered a prolific and sophisticated genre of travel literature. Pausanias's Periegesis (description) of Greece is by far the most important text of travel writing to have survived from this period. Pausanias work offers the authentic voice of a speaker of Ancient Greek traversing the Greek mainland and reflects the interesting complications of a provincial citizen writing about local culture in the context of the hegemony of the Roman Empire. The Periegesis has for centuries been key source of archaeologists and art historians researching the monuments and landscape of Ancient Greece, as well as one of the major document software Ancient Greek history and mythology. Pausanias: Travel and Memory in Roman Greece is a major new collection of specially commissioned essays addressing this important writer. These essays, written by many of the leading expertise in the field, unpack the contemporary dynamics that informed Pausanias writing of this text. They explore some significant case studies from the Periegesis and Cleary demonstrate the importance of Pausanias and Cleary demonstrate the importance of Pausanias in formulating modern attitudes about the topography, landscape, and ruins of Greece. The collection is divided into three sections: Pausanias and His Periegesis; Studies and Comparisons; and Nachleben- the powerful and much underestimated aftershock of Pausanias writings in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This volume also includes a number of short responses by specialist commentators, as well as twenty-seven illustrations of the territories described by Pausanias. The results is a landmark in the revival of Pausanias studies. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The passage from Imperial Rome to the era of late antiquity, when the Roman Empire underwent a religious conversion to Christianity, saw some of the most significant and innovative developments in Western culture. This stimulating book investigates the role of the visual arts, the great diversity of paintings, statues, luxury arts, and masonry, as both reflections and agents of those changes. Jas' Elsner's ground-breaking account discusses both Roman and early Christian art in relation to such issues as power, death, society, acculturation, and religion. By examining questions of reception, viewing, and the culture of spectacle alongside the more traditional art-historical themes of imperial patronage and stylistic change, he presents a fresh and challenging interpretation of an extraordinarily rich cultural crucible in which many fundamental developments of later European art had their origins.This second edition includes a new discussion of the Eurasian context of Roman art, an updated bibliography, and new, full colour illustrations.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Roman Empire during the reigns of Septimius Severus and his successors (AD 193-225) enjoyed a remarkably rich and dynamic cultural life. It saw the consolidation of the movement known as the second sophistic, which had flourished during the second century and promoted the investigation and reassessment of classical Greek culture. It also witnessed the emergence of Christianity on its own terms, in Greek and in Latin, as a major force extending its influence across literature, philosophy, theology, art and even architecture. This volume offers the first wide-ranging and authoritative survey of the culture of this fascinating period when the background of Rome's rulers was for the first time non-Italian. Leading scholars discuss general trends and specific instances, together producing a vibrant picture of an extraordinary period of cultural innovation rooted in ancient tradition.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Figurines are objects of handling. As touchable objects, they engage the viewer in different ways from flat art, whether relief sculpture or painting. Unlike the voyeuristic relationship of viewing a neatly framed pictorial narrative as if from the outside, the viewer as handler is always potentially and without protection within the narrative of figurines. As such, they have potential for a potent, even animated, agency in relation to those who use them.This volume concerns figurines as archaeologically-attested materials from literate cultures with surviving documents that have no direct links of contiguity, appropriation, or influence in relation to each other. It is an attempt to put the category of the figurine on the table as a key conceptual and material problematic in the art history of antiquity. It does so through comparative juxtaposition of close-focused chapters drawn from deep art-historical engagement with specific ancient cultures - Chinese, pre-Columbian Mesoamerican, and Greco-Roman. It encourages comparative conversation across the disciplines that constitute the art history of the ancient world through finding categories and models of discourse that may offer fertile ground for comparison and antithesis. It extends the rich and astute literature on prehistoric figurines into understanding the figurine in historical contexts, where literary texts and documents, inscriptions, or surviving terminologies can be adduced alongside material culture. At stake are issues of figuration and anthropomorphism, miniaturization and portability, one-off production and replication, and substitution and scale at the interface of archaeology and art history.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Featuring some of the major voices in the world of art history, this volume explores the methodological aspects of comparison in the historiography of the discipline. The chapters assess the strengths and weaknesses of comparative practice in the history of art, and consider the larger issue of the place of comparative in how art history may develop in the future. The contributors represent a comprehensive range of period and geographic command from antiquity to modernity, from China and Islam to Europe, from various forms of art history to archaeology, anthropology and material culture studies. Art history is less a single discipline than a series of divergent scholarly fields- in very different historical, geographic and cultural contexts- but all with a visual emphasis on the close examination of objects. These fields focus on different, often incompatible temporal and cultural contexts, yet nonetheless they regard themselves as one coherent discipline- namely the history of art. There are substantive problems in how the sub-fields within the broad-brush generalization called 'art history' can speak coherently to each other. These are more urgent since the shift from an art history centered on the western tradition to one that is consciously global.…
