Les Classiques après l'Antiquité

Cette série explore la relation complexe entre les traditions classiques et le monde antique qui les a inspirées. Elle examine comment les héritages littéraires, historiques et culturels de la Grèce et de la Rome antiques ont été adoptés et réinterprétés au fil des siècles, de la période médiévale à nos jours. Chaque volume révèle comment les époques ultérieures se sont efforcées de réinventer et de comprendre cet héritage, souvent tiraillées entre l'acceptation et le rejet. La série aborde également la pertinence durable des institutions et des idées antiques dans le discours contemporain et les défis qu'elles posent à notre époque mondialisée.

    This book explores the surprising versatility of Homer's epics of wandering and homecoming for the radical formal experiments and changing sociopolitical agendas of modernist writers responding to war, tyranny, censorship, and empire. Of interest to students and researchers interested in classical receptions, modernism, twentieth-century literature, and comparative literature.

    Modernism and Homer
  • Nineteenth-century German classical philology underpins many structures of the modern humanities. This book shows how a language of love and a longing for closeness with a personified antiquity has lastingly shaped modern professional reading habits, notions of biography, and the self-image of scholars and teachers.

    Feeling and Classical Philology
  • Argues that immigration politics is a central - but overlooked - object of inquiry in the democratic thought of classical Athens. Thinkers criticized democracy's strategic investments in nativism, the shifting boundaries of citizenship, and the precarious membership that a blood-based order effects for those eligible and ineligible to claim it.
