Visual culture, performance and spectacle lay at the heart of all aspects of ancient Greek daily routine, such as court and assembly, cult and ritual, and art and culture. Seeing was considered the most secure means of obtaining knowledge, with many citing the etymological connection between 'seeing' and 'knowing' in ancient Greek as evidence for this. Seeing was also however often associated with mere appearances, false perception and deception. Gazing and visuality in the ancient Greek world have had a central place in the scholarship for some time now, enjoying an abundance of pertinent discussions and bibliography. If this book differs from the previous publications, it is in its emphasis on diverse genres: the concepts 'gaze', 'vision' and 'visuality' are considered across different Greek genres and media. The recipients of ancient Greek literature (both oral and written) were encouraged to perceive the narrated scenes as spectacles and to 'follow the gaze' of the characters in the narrative. By setting a broad time span, the evolution of visual culture in Greece is tracked, while also addressing broader topics such as theories of vision, the prominence of visuality in specific time periods, and the position of visuality in a hierarchisation of the senses.

This volume examines whether dramatic fragments should be approached as parts of a greater whole or as self-contained entities. It comprises contributions by a broad spectrum of international scholars: by young researchers working on fragmentary drama as well as by well-known experts in this field. The volume explores another kind of fragmentation that seems already to have been embraced by the ancient dramatists: quotations extracted from their context and immersed in a new whole, in which they work both as cohesive unities and detachable entities. Sections of poetic works circulated in antiquity not only as parts of a whole, but also independently, i.e. as component fractions, rather like quotations on facebook today. Fragmentation can thus be seen operating on the level of dissociation, but also on the level of cohesion. The volume investigates interpretive possibilities, quotation contexts, production and reception stages of fragmentary texts, looking into the ways dramatic fragments can either increase the depth of fragmentation or strengthen the intensity of cohesion.

Dieser Sammelband analysiert unterschiedliche Prozesse in den Digitalen Altertumswissenschaften für Wissenschaftler, die sich bisher noch nicht intensiv mit diesem Thema auseinandergesetzt haben. Dabei handelt es sich um eine selektive Bestandsaufnahme zu einzelnen zentralen Entwicklungen und Problemfeldern. Auf diese Weise erhält der Leser einen instruktiven Einblick in verschiedene Debatten, die ihn wiederum andere, hier weniger angesprochene Themen schneller verstehen und erfassen lassen. Neben Erörterungen grundsätzlicher Sachfragen und Tendenzen (neue Arbeitsmethoden, digitales Publizieren, Arbeiten mit Datenbanken und Informationssystemen) vereinigt der Band auch eine paradigmatische Diskussion zu den digitalen Editionen, um bestimmte Spezialfragen zu präsentieren und damit verbundene Debatten exemplarisch für die allgemeine Diskussion über Digitalisierung in den Altertumswissenschaften nachzuzeichnen. Gerade in einem oftmals schwer zu überblickenden fließenden Prozess, bei dem viele gleichzeitige Entwicklungen sich überschneiden, versteht sich der Band als Angebot, zwischenzeitliche Ergebnisse, Errungenschaften, Potentiale oder Sackgassen zu thematisieren und auf diese Weise Orientierung zu bieten.

Die Neo-Latin Studies erlebten in den letzten Jahrzehnten einen wahren Boom und erfassten unlängst auch die Pléiade. Diese stellt unbestritten eine der wichtigsten literarischen Bewegungen der Renaissance dar, war bisher aber v.a. mit ihren französischsprachigen Werken Gegenstand der Forschung. Der Band, der aus dem von den Universitäten Freiburg im Breisgau und Mulhouse-Colmar gemeinsam veranstalteten 12. Freiburger Neulateinischen Symposion hervorgegangen ist, zieht eine kritische Bilanz dieses Umschwungs. Dabei stehen zwei Themenfelder im Vordergrund: der Status der neulateinischen Sprache als Medium literarischer Kommunikation und die Frage nach den antiken und zeitgenössischen (besonders auch volkssprachlichen) Vorbildern der im Frankreich des 16. Jahrhunderts produzierten neulateinischen Dichtung.

Ancient Greek comedy relied primarily on its text and words for the fulfilment of its humorous effects and aesthetic goals. In the wake of a rich tradition of previous scholarship, this volume explores a variety of linguistic materials and stylistic artifices exploited by the Greek comic poets, from vocabulary and figures of speech (metaphors, similes, rhyme) to types of joke, obscenity, and the mechanisms of parody. Most of the chapters focus on Aristophanes and Old Comedy, which offers the richest arsenal of such techniques, but the less ploughed fields of Middle and New Comedy are also explored. Emphasis is placed on practical criticism and textual readings, on the examination of particular artifices of speech and the analysis of individual passages. The main purpose is to highlight the use of language for the achievement of the aesthetic, artistic, and intellectual purposes of ancient comedy, in particular for the generation of humour and comic effect, the delineation of characters, the transmission of ideological messages, and the construction of poetic meaning. The volume will be useful to scholars of ancient drama, linguists, students of humour, and scholars of Classical literature in general.
