"To what extent did mythological figures such as Circe and Medea influence the representation of the powerful 'oriental' enchantress in modern Western art? What role did the ancient gods and heroes play in the construction of the imaginary worlds of the modern fantasy genre? What is the role of undead creatures like zombies and vampires in mythological films? Looking across the millennia, from the distrust of ancient magic and oriental cults, which threatened the new-born Christian religion, to the revival and adaptation of ancient myths and religion in the arts centuries later, this book offers an original analysis of the reception of ancient magic and the supernatural, across a wide variety of different media--from comics to film, from painting to opera. Working in a variety of fields across the globe, the authors of these essays deconstruct certain scholarly traditions by proposing original interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations, showing to what extent the visual and performing arts of different periods interlink and shape cultural and social identities."-- To what extent did mythological figures such as Circe and Medea influence the representation of the powerful 'oriental' enchantress in modern Western art?

Durant les décennies centrales du XIXe siècle, au moment de la réalisation des unifications italienne et allemande, Turin et Berlin avaient noué d'étroits liens scientifiques. À l'Académie des Sciences de Berlin, Theodor Mommsen travaillait au grand projet du Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, dont le cinquième volume contient les inscriptions piémontaises. Mommsen se rendit à plusieurs reprises en Piémont, mais, comme partout ailleurs, il compta surtout sur l'aide des savants locaux jugés dignes de sa confiance. Son meilleur ami et collaborateur à Turin fut l'architecte et historien Carlo Promis : celui-ci était le véritable point de référence d'un important réseau d'intellectuels italiens, parmi lesquels on compte Carlo Baudi di Vesme et Ariodante Fabretti, mais aussi le frère de Carlo Promis, Domenico, et son neveu, Vincenzo. Ce volume propose l'édition commentée de l'intégralité de la correspondance entre Mommsen et les trois Promis, et retrace le contexte historique, politique et culturel dans lequel le cinquième volume du CIL fut achevé.
