‎ANCIENT GREEK WOMEN IN FILM‎

‎Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2014. Hardcover. 0199678928 . This volume examines cinematic representations of ancient Greek women from the realms of myth and history. It discusses how these female figures are resurrected on the big screen by different filmmakers during different historical moments and are therefore embedded within a narrative which serves various purposes depending on the director of the film its screenwriters the studio the country of its origin and the sociopolitical context at the time of its production. Using a diverse array of hermeneutic approaches such as gender theory feminist criticism psychoanalysis viewer-response theory and personal voice criticism the essays aim to cast light on cinema's investments in the classical past and decode the mechanisms whereby the women under examination are extracted from their original context and are brought to life to serve as vehicles for the articulation of modern ideas concerns and cultural trends. The volume thus aims to investigate not only how antiquity on the screen depicts and in this process distorts compresses contests and revises antiquity on the page but also more crucially why the medium follows such eclectic representational strategies vis-a-vis the classical world. ; Classical Presences; 400 pages .

‎THE LANGUAGES OF PARADISE Race Religion and Philology in the Nineteenth Century‎

‎Harvard University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0674510526 . Former owner's name in pencil and blindstamp to ffep. Else book is fine. DJ spine sunned. ; The comparative study of languages was inspired by Renaissance debates over what language was spoken in the Garden of Eden. By the eighteenth century scholars were persuaded that European languages shared a common ancestor. With the adoption of positivist “scientific” methods in the nineteenth century the hunt for the language of Eden and the search for a European Ursprache diverged. Yet the desire to reconcile historical causality with divine purpose remained. Because the Indo-European languages clearly had a separate line of descent from the biblical tongues the practitioners of the new science of philology many of whom had received their linguistic training from the Church turned their scholarship to the task of justifying the ascendance of European Christianity to the principal role in Providential history. To accomplish this they invented a pair of concepts Aryan and Semitic That by the end of the century had embarked on ideological and political careers far outside philology. Supposed characteristics of the respective languages were assigned to the peoples who spoke them: thus the Semitic peoples primarily the Jews were like their language passive static and immobile while the Aryans principally Western Europeans became the active dynamic Chosen People of the future. Olender traces the development of these concepts through the work of J. G. Herder Ernest Renan Friedrich Max Müller Adolphe Pictet Rudolph Grau and Ignaz Goldziher. He shows that despite their different approaches each of these men struggled more or less purposefully “to join romanticism with positivism in an effort to preserve a common allegiance to the doctrines of Providence. ”; 228 pages .

‎I. B. Tauris. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 1850438315 . Former owner's name in pencil and blindstamp to ffep. Else very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; This study in comparative mythology interprets the Greek myths in the light of the mythologies of other Indo-European cultures - Indian Celtic Scandinavian Roman Greek Iranian and Ossetian. The author uses a modified version of the schema proposed by the French theorist Dumezil to consider the profound connections between such works as the "Iliad" the "Odyssey" the Indian epics - the "Ramayana" and the "Mahabharata" - the Iranian "Book of Kings" and the Scandinavian "Yaglingasaga". The book includes a long critical exposition of the discipline of comparative mythology from its 18th-century origins to the revival of the discipline by Dumezil and his followers from 1938 to the present. It also reassesses the profound critique of Dumezil which linked him with Nazi ideology. ; 256 pages . I. B. Tauris hardcover‎

Diese schließt sich eng an den lateinischen Text an. Bewusst werden freie Übersetzung und geglättete Sprache vermieden um die Eigenart von Senecas Stil auch im Deutschen durchscheinen zu lassen denn bei ihm sind in besonderem Maße Form und Inhalt miteinander verwoben. Im Anhang zu Band 5 gibt der Herausgeber einen knappen Überblick über Senecas Leben und Werk und ein Verzeichnis wichtiger und informativer Literatur zu Seneca. Er sieht »Seneca als eine ›Gestalt von welthistorischem Rang‹ an zwar nicht frei von Schwächen und Widersprüchen aber doch auch als einen Mann der sich ›nicht mit einer Interpretation der Welt begnügte‹ sondern sie zu verändern versuchte als einen Mann der als Dichter und Denker tiefe Spuren in der europäischen Geistesgeschichte hinterlassen hat. « Eine »gediegene und für jede ernsthafte Beschäftigung mit Senecas Philosophie vielfältig nützliche Ausgabe«." ; 5 Volume Set COMPLETE; Vol. 1/5/2025 .
