| CLA514/COM514 - Problems in Greek Literature: Biography and Personification |
| We tend to think, maybe mistakenly, that a narrative understanding of life is self-evident. The aim of this course is to analyze the preconceptions and strategies of biography as a lasting literary genre, and to look at its attendant rhetorical forms such as personification, prosopopoeia and apostrophe. What are the consequences of thinking of people of the past in terms of 'Lives', and of objects or features of the past in terms of 'people'? |
| Professor Constanze M. Güthenke |
| Seminar: 9:00-11:50am Th |
| CLA545 - Problems in Roman History: The City of Rome during the Republic |
| This course will offer a cross-disciplinary study of life, politics, and culture in the city of Rome during the Republic, from the early fourth century to the late first centuries BC. Literary, epigraphical, numismatic, and archaeological sources will be used to study the following topics in a specifically urban and Roman context: religion and festivals, topography and architecture, politics and oratory, spectacle and games, city administration, police and security, the law and the courts, city markets and the economy, the urban population and its composition, demography, and the quality of life in the city.. |
| Professor Harriet I. Flower |
| Seminar: 9:00-11:50 W |
| CLA547/PAW501/HLS501 - Problems in Ancient History: The Language of the Gods: Prophecy, Oracles and Divination |
| This seminar will explore the function, representation, and techniques of divination in the Ancient World from the second millennium BCE until Late Antiquity. Topics will include the language and semiotics of divine communication, the usefulness of divination in both public and private decision-making, and the social role of the seer/diviner/prophet. The method will be interdisciplinary, employing anthropological theory and case studies as well as a broad range of ancient sources (literary texts, inscriptions, papyri, artistic representations, and archaeological remains). The class will travel to Greece during the midterm break. |
