Abstract

Senza trascurare la ricerca etimologica per le forme rare, la ricerca punta a: valutare tendenze e flussi dell'onomastica romana utilizzando una serie innovativa di indici statistici (dispersione, originalità, semiuniverso, conformismo, concentrazione, nomi dominanti, nomi ad altra frequenza, coefficiente demografico); individuare se nella formazione delle mode una ripartizione areale anticipi l'altra e se la grande città preceda i piccoli centri; rilevare l'eventuale esistenza di forme nominali socialmente connotate; confrontare i nomi personali dei residenti in Roma nativi con i nomi dei residenti non nativi, per valutare se esista - e quali aspetti eventualmente assuma - un'onomastica parallela degli immigrati italiani nella capitale; esaminare allotropi, varianti e alterati, con particolare attenzione alla microvariantistica. Inoltre lo studio intende verificare con criteri di cronografia e sociografia onomastica la scelta di nomi personali da parte di autori romani - nei campi della letteratura, teatro, cinema, sceneggiati televisivi, canzoni - per valutare quali influenze abbiano maggiormente inciso nel battesimo dei personaggi, tentando di formulare ipotesi nel merito del processo di formazione delle mode. Tabelle e grafici documentano gli aspetti più prettamente statistici, connotano le forme lungo l'asse diatopico, diacronico e diastratico; evidenziano le varianti meno comuni. Il tentativo di collocare la situazione romana in un quadro europeo o mondiale risponde non soltanto all'esigenza di una necessaria comparazione, ma anche all'attualità del moltiplicarsi dei contatti interlinguistici e delle forme nominali allotrie tra i cittadini italiani.

Abstract

"Is 21st-century Rome a global city? Is it part of Europe's core or periphery? This volume examines the "real city" beyond Rome's historical center, exploring the diversity and challenges of life in neighborhoods affected by immigration, neoliberalism, formal urban planning, and grassroots social movements. The contributors engage with themes of contemporary urban studies-the global city, the self-made city, alternative modernities, capital cities and nations, urban change from below, and sustainability. Global Rome serves as a provocative introduction to the Eternal City and makes an original contribution to interdisciplinary scholarship"--

Abstract

"The Republican Aventine and Rome's Social Order is about one hill in particular, the Aventine, and its segregation from and integration into the residential fabric of Rome. My chronological focus is the Roman Republic, with studies peering into the Augustan principate. Throughout the text, all dates are BCE unless otherwise noted, and the title's reference to Roman social order reflects this monograph's twin themes: the plebs and urban stability. First, this book destabilizes the long-standing scholarly tradition that the Aventine was the citadel and headquarters for Rome's politically vibrant plebs. Second, it demonstrates that the development of the Aventine as a region mirrors the overall evolution of the urbs. The caput mundi was characterized by an extraordinary degree of socioeconomic integration, and the book concludes by proposing that this transurban heterogeneity may have contributed to the city's relative tranquility up until the final decades of the republic. This book^ aims to offer a deeply textured reconstruction of the Aventine as a literary and conceptual construct, on the one hand, and as a physical space, on the other. The city map is intentionally blank. Though we know which monuments stood on the Aventine in the Republic, we do not know where they stood. The ruins that have been recovered remain anonymous or assigned amid great conjecture. This book is not a topographical manual or an archaeological survey guide. It does not seek to attach famous figures to known archaeological sites or to assign residents to a map. A flurry of recent and ongoing scholarship has made that sort of work possible. The publication of the Lexicon Topographicum Urbis Romae in particular ensures that Rome's cultural geography will remain a very fertile and dynamic field within classical studies. The contribution of this monograph is that it applies fresh, critical readings to the literary tradition, material culture, and comparative urban studies, to offer a new ass essment of one of Rome's canonical hills and to theorize broadly about republican Rome's residential practices"--Preface. "The Aventine--one of Rome’s canonical seven hills--has long been identified as the city’s plebeian district, which housed the lower orders of society and served as the political headquarters, religious citadel, and social bastion of those seeking radical reform of the Republican constitution. Lisa Marie Mignone challenges the plebeian-Aventine paradigm through a multidisciplinary review of the ancient evidence, demonstrating that this construct proves to be a modern creation. Mignone uses ancient literary accounts, material evidence, and legal and semantic developments to reconstruct and reexamine the history of the Aventine Hill. Through comparative studies of premodern urban planning and development, combined with an assessment of gang violence and ancient neighborhood practices in the latter half of the first century BCE, she argues that there was no concentration of the disadvantaged in a "plebeian ghetto." Thus residency patterns everywhere in the caput mundi, including the Aventine Hill, likely incorporated the full spectrum of Roman society." -- Publisher's description

Abstract

Spanning the entire history of the city of Rome from Iron Age village to modern metropolis, this is the first book to take the long view of the Eternal City as an urban organism. Three thousand years old and counting, Rome has thrived almost from the start on self-reference, supplementing the everyday concerns of urban management and planning by projecting its own past onto the city of the moment. This is a study of the urban processes by which Rome's people and leaders, both as custodians of its illustrious past and as agents of its expansive power, have shaped and conditioned its urban fabric by manipulating geography and organizing space; planning infrastructure; designing and presiding over mythmaking, ritual, and stagecraft; controlling resident and transient populations; and exploiting Rome's standing as a seat of global power and a religious capital.
