Paperback. Condición: New. A body of theory has developed about the role and function of memory in creating and maintaining cultural identity. Yet there has been no consideration of the rich Mediterranean and Near Eastern traditions of laments for fallen cities in commemorating or resolving communal trauma. This volume offers new insights into the trope of the fallen city in folk-song and a variety of literary genres. These commemorations reveal memories modified by diverse agendas, and contains narrative structures and motifs that show the meaning of memory-making about fallen cities. Opening a new avenue of research into the Mediterranean genre of city lament, this book examines references to, or re-workings of, otherwise lost texts or ways of commemorating fallen cities in the extant texts, and with greater emphasis than usual on the point of view of the victors.…

Hardcover. Condición: Fair. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 2015 OUP hardcover edition. Some reading wear, annotated throughout by previous owner else good condition. From the dustjacket: Lament seems to have been universal in the ancient world. As such, it is an excellent touchstone for the comparative study of attitudes towards death and the afterlife, human relations to the divine, views of the cosmos, and the constitution of the fabric of society in different times and places. This collection of essays offers the first ever comparative approach to ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern traditions of lament. Beginning with the Sumerian and Hittite traditions, the volume moves on to examine Bronze Age iconographic representations of lamentation, Homeric lament, depictions of lament in Greek tragedy and parodic comedy, and finally lament in ancient Rome. The list of contributors includes such noted scholars as Richard Martin, Ian Rutherford, and Alison Keith. Lament comes at a time when the conclusions of the first wave of the study of lament-especially Greek lament-have received widespread acceptance, including the notions that lament is a female genre; that men risked feminization if they lamented; that there were efforts to control female lamentation; and that a lamenting woman was a powerful figure and a threat to the orderly functioning of the male public sphere. Lament revisits these issues by reexamining what kinds of functions the term lament can include, and by expanding the study of lament to other genres of literature, cultures, and periods in the ancient world. The studies included here reflect the variety of critical issues raised over the past 25 years, and as such, provide an overview of the history of critical thinking on the subject. Contents: 1) Introduction, (2) Sumerian Gala Priests and Eastern Mediterranean Returning Gods: Tragic Lamentation in Cross-Cultural Perspective (3) 'When You Go to the Meadow.': The Lament of the Taptara-Women in the Hittite Sallis Wastais Ritual, (4) Mycenaean Memory and Bronze Age Lament, (5) Reading the Laments of Iliad 24, (6) Keens from the Absent Chorus: Troy to Ulster, (7) Death Becomes Her: Gender and Athenian Death Ritual, (8) Male Lament in Greek Tragedy, (9) Greek Comedy's Parody of Lament, (10) Lament and Hymenaios in Erinna's Distaff, (11) Lament in Lucan's Bellum Civile, and (12) Nenia: Gender, Genre, and Lament in Ancient Rome.…
