More than a century ago, filmmakers made their primary focus innovative and widely promulgated visions of antiquity, creating a profound effect on the critical, popular, and scholarly reception of antiquity. In this volume, scholars from a variety of countries and varying academic disciplines have addressed film’s way of using the field of Classical Reception to investigate, contemplate, and develop hypotheses about present-day culture, society, and politics, with a particular emphasis on gender and gender roles, their relationship to one another, and how filmic constructions of masculinity and femininity shape and are shaped by interacting economic, political, and ideological practices.

Der Band bietet einen Überblick über Sukzession in Religionen als Mittel der Legitimation von Autorität und Wissen sowie über die mit Sukzessionen verbundene Ausbreitung von Wissen. An einzelnen regional und sozial differenzierten Fallbeispielen aus der Zeit vom 2. Jt. v. Chr. bis ins 16. Jh. n. Chr. werden Nachfolgestrukturen typologisch klassifiziert und erörtert. Der geographische Horizont spannt sich vom Mittelmeerraum bis nach Japan. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Religionen, die über eine Kette von Amtsinhabern verfügen, die bis auf eine mythische, literarisch fiktive oder historisch greifbare Gründerfigur zurückgeht und mittels oder zwecks Autoritätslegitimierung Wissen, Befähigung u.a. weitergibt. Bei der Nachzeichnung dieser Weitergaben lassen sich Individuen und Gruppen in Raum und Zeit verorten und die Konstruktion von Identitäten einzelner Dynastien, Kasten oder Schulen aufweisen. Die in diesem Band gesammelten religionssoziologischen und religionsgeschichtlichen Studien erhellen grundsätzlich den Zusammenhang von Wissen, Autorität und Personalität und thematisieren speziell Wissensketten und -netzwerke in Religionen der Antike und des Alten Orients sowie in Judentum, Christentum, Islam, Hinduismus, Buddhismus und Daoismus. Using case examples extending from the 2nd century to the present, the study typologically classifies religious structures of succession and examines the dissemination of knowledge associated with them. The geographical scope ranges from the Mediterranean region to Japan. A focus is placed on religions with a chain of incumbency that can be traced back to mythical, literary fictional, or historical founders.

Just as we speak of "dead" languages, we say that religions "die out." Yet sometimes, people try to revive them, today more than ever. 'New Antiquities' addresses this phenomenon through critical examination of how individuals and groups appeal to, reconceptualize, and reinvent the religious world of the ancient Mediterranean as they attempt to legitimize developments in contemporary religious culture and associated activity. 0Drawing from the disciplines of religious studies, archaeology, history, philology, and anthropology, this book explores a diversity of cultic and geographic milieus, ranging from Goddess Spirituality to Neo-Gnosticism, from rural Oregon to the former Yugoslavia. As a survey of the reception of ancient religious works, figures, and ideas in later twentieth-century and contemporary alternative religious practice, New Antiquities will interest classicists, Egyptologists, and historians of religion of many stripes, particularly those focused on modern Theosophy, Gnosticism, Neopaganism, New Religious Movements, Magick, and Occulture.
