TY - JOUR A1 - Carlà-Uhink, Filippo A1 - García Morcillo, Marta T1 - Problemas y desafíos de la investigación histórica sobre la corrupción BT - la República romana JF - Eunomía : Revista en Cultura de la Legalidad N2 - El artículo analiza la corrupción como un fenómeno complejo y con frecuencia ambiguo, relacionado con comportamientos y mentalidades individuales y colectivas, que son percibidos como ilegítimos o inmorales y, por lo tanto, desviados de normas establecidas. Más allá de un acercamiento reduccionista u objetivista a lugares comunes de la corrupción política, o a delitos tipificados por la ley, esta contribución pretende destacar la relevancia del análisis histórico del discurso en el estudio del tema. Este enfoque nos permite reconstruir contextos en los que se identifica la corrupción, así como analizar relatos, no siempre unánimes, sobre estas prácticas. El trabajo se adentra en una época lejana, pero a la vez cercana a nuestro tiempo, el último siglo la República romana. La evidencia nos permite evaluar críticamente aspectos fundamentales de la construcción retórica de la corrupción y de sus zonas grises, como la distinción, a menudo borrosa, entre regalo y soborno. N2 - The article analyses corruption as a complex, often ambiguous, phenomenon linked to individual and collective behaviors and mentalities that are perceived as illegitimate or immoral, and thus as deviated from established norms. Beyond reductionist and objectivist approaches to common places of political corruption, or to typified criminal acts, this contribution seeks to highlight the importance of historical discourse analysis for the study of the topic. This approach permits to reconstruct contexts in which corruption is identified, as well as analyse multisided discourses about such practices. This piece proposes an insight into a remote period, yet in some respects also close to us, the last century of the Roman Republic. The available evidence allows to critically evaluate fundamental aspects of the rhetoric construction of corruption and its grey -zones, such as the sometimes - blurred distinction between gift and bribery.

This also applied of course to Ancient Rome; in both the Republic and Principate lawgivers tried to define the limits of acceptable transfers and thus also to identify what we might call ‘corruption’. Yet, such definitions remained to a large extent blurred, and what was constructed was mostly a ‘code of conduct’, allowing Roman politicians to perform their own ‘honesty’ in public duty – while being aware at all times that their involvement in different kinds of transfer might be used by their opponents against them and presented as a case of ‘corrupt’ behaviour.

Indeed, Soviet prisoners of war were the largest victim group of all National Socialist annihilation policies after the European Jews. Before the launch of Operation Barbarossa, it was clear to the Wehrmacht planning departments on exactly what scale they could expect to capture Soviet troops. Yet, they neglected to make the necessary preparations for feeding and sheltering the captured soldiers, who were viewed by the economic staffs and the military leadership alike as direct competitors of German troops and the German home front for precious food supplies. The number of extra mouths to feed was incompatible with German war aims. The obvious limitations on their freedom of movement and the relative ease with which large numbers could be segregated and their rations controlled were crucial factors in the death of over 3 million Soviet POWs, the vast majority directly or indirectly as a result of deliberate policies of neglect, undernourishment, and starvation while in the ‘care’ of the Wehrmacht. The most reliable figures for the mortality of Soviet POWs in German captivity reveal that up to 3.3 million died from a total of just over 5.7 million captured between June 1941 and February 1945 — a proportion of almost 58 percent. Of these, 2 million were already dead by the beginning of February 1942. In English, there is still neither a single monograph nor a single edited volume dedicated to the subject. This article now provides the first detailed stand-alone synthesis in that language addressing the whole period from 1941 to 1945.

Hier entwickelte sich in den 1950er Jahren ein Kommunikationszentrum, in dem eine Hochschule Priester für den Osten ausbildete und vielfältige Medien über die Lage hinter dem Eisernen Vorhang informierten. Von Königstein ging die Kapellenwagenmission aus, die katholische Gläubige in der westdeutschen Diaspora aufsuchte. Nostalgische Rückbesinnung verband sich mit der Errichtung eines modernen Tagungsbaus. Seit den 1970er Jahren gerieten die Königsteiner Unternehmungen in eine grundlegende Krise. Mit der Gründungsgeneration starben die auf den Osten bezogene Mentalität und letztlich auch die Königsteiner Anstalten. Das Ende des Kalten Kriegs verschob die Nachkriegszeit der katholischen Vetriebenen endgültig in die Erinnerungskultur.

Most of them belong to vase painting pieces (3,448). This current work analyze the Amazonian emblems that appear in a high percentage of these representations (725), together with the few examples associated with other artistic supports. In that way, we will study the chosen designs, which of them achieved greater popularity and the possible reasons why some of them were more popular in certain contexts. According to the results, we can discover that the Amazons present a type of emblem very similar to that used by the hoplites who fought against them in the same representation of the Amazonomachy. It is true that we appreciate a greater interest in certain models within a broad group of options that became traditional for Amazonian representations, but the results of this study suggest that the artists freely chose between them. However, his decision could be influenced by aspects such as the predominant trends in each period, the tastes of the export markets or the influence generated by other types of works (mainly paintings, reliefs or sculptures) whose popularity made them models.

T1 - ‘Crazy Man-Killing Monsters’ BT - The Inimical Portrayal of the Amazons in Supernatural’s ‘Slice Girls’ JF - thersites 17 N2 - The Amazons have a long legacy in literature and the visual arts, extending from antiquity to the present day. Prior scholarship tends to treat the Amazons as hostile ‘Other’ figures, embodying the antithesis of Greco-Roman cultural norms. Recently, scholars have begun to examine positive portrayals of Amazons in contemporary media, as role models and heroic figures. However, there is a dearth of scholarship examining the Amazons’ inherently multifaceted nature, and their subsequent polarised reception in popular media. This article builds upon the large body of scholarship on contemporary Amazon narratives, in which the figures of Wonder Woman and Xena, Warrior Princess dominate scholarly discourse. These ‘modern Amazon’ figures epitomise the dominant contemporary trend of portraying Amazons as strong female role models and feminist icons. To highlight the complexity of the Amazon image in contemporary media, this article examines the representation of the Amazons in the Supernatural episode ‘Slice Girls’ (S7 E13, 2012), where their portrayal as hostile, monstrous figures diverges greatly from the positive characterisation of Wonder Woman and Xena. I also consider the show’s engagement with ancient written sources, to examine how the writers draw upon the motifs of ancient Amazon narratives when crafting their unique Amazon characters. By contrasting the Amazons of ‘Slice Girls’ to contemporary figures and ancient narratives, this article examines how factors such as feminist ideology, narrative story arcs, characters’/audience’s perspectives and male bias shape the representation of Amazons post-antiquity.

T1 - Lycaon and classical versipelles in MTV’s Teen Wolf JF - thersites 17 N2 - The modern conception of the werewolf is heavily influenced by Gothic reinterpretations of medieval European stories. This kind of werewolf is the one that has appeared on screen and written fiction for decades, but MTV’s Teen Wolf, a re-boot of the 1980s film which aired between 2011 – 17, is different. In this young adult supernatural drama, werewolves descend directly from Lycaon, and a substantial proportion of the show’s werewolf lore derives from Graeco-Roman stories about wolf-shifters and versipelles. This paper wants to explore the extent of the use in the show of the myth of Lycaon in particular, of Classical versipelles in general, the significance of these two references for the narrative, and the degree of innovation in modern supernatural fiction of this adaptation of Greek and Roman stories.

These topics are explored through the ever-developing character of Lucifer himself, who, like other recent anti-hero depictions, is initially presented in a manner that is very different from traditional portrayals of the Devil, and is, in fact, far closer to that of the Greek Olympian gods. Over the course of six seasons, the depiction of Lucifer alters, however, as he becomes a figure that is in many ways Christ-like, but with a 21st century twist that places the individual in an exalted position that is superior to that of divinity.

In the first volume of InSEXts, set in Victorian London, there are allusions to the Furies and Pandora, linked with the discourse of the repression of women. In the second volume, set in the late nineteenth century Paris art world, the representation of classical subjects in art becomes a means to repress women, and a goddess with a Gorgon-like appearance takes revenge on the male repressors. In Eros/Psyche the story of Eros and Psyche and broken statues forms the backdrop and context for a tale of love and deception at a girls’ school, and in Porcelain a girl is faced with a choice of paths towards Eros or Thanatos, like Herakles at the crossroads choosing between the paths of virtue and vice.

T1 - Varieties of Supernatural Depictions BT - Classics in Contemporary Media JF - thersites 17 N2 - This article proposes several conceptual frameworks for examining the widespread use of classical intertexts depicting the supernatural in popular media. Whether the supernatural is viewed as reality or simply a trope, it represents the human capacity and desire to explore worlds and meanings beyond the obvious and mundane. Representations of classical gods, heroes, and monsters evoke the power of mythic stories to probe and explain human psychology, social concerns, philosophical questions, and religious beliefs, including belief about the paranormal and supernatural. The entertainment value of popular media allows creators and audiences to engage with larger issues in non-dogmatic and playful ways that help them negotiate tensions among various beliefs and identities. This paper also gives an overview of the other articles in this journal issue, showing overlapping themes and patterns that connect with these tensions. By combining knowledge of classical myths in their original contexts with knowledge about contemporary culture, classical scholars contribute unique perspectives about why classical intertexts dominate in popular media today.

T1 - Gods and Magic in Megan Whalen Turner’s The Thief JF - thersites 17 N2 - Megan Whalen Turner’s series The Queen’s Thief (1996 – 2020) centres on the political intrigues in a group of countries which are at once very like – but also very unlike – Bronze Age and archaic Greece threatened by a powerful Persian Empire. The first book in the series, The Thief (1996), begins as a political adventure haunted by stories of the gods. When those gods directly influence the action, the narrative changes from present political intrigue to a fantasy from the distant past. The mythology in The Thief reflects, imitates and distorts archaic Greek creation myths – stories about how the earth and sky were formed, the divine pantheon and heroes. I examine the presentation of this divine pantheon against the narratives about the gods in Hesiod, the Homeric hymns and Homer’s epics. I evaluate how the supernatural element interacts with the largely political narrative of The Thief. In so doing, I explore how the text blends a ‘classical supernatural’ with a world that is like – but in many ways very unlike – Bronze Age and archaic Greece.

T1 - Resurrecting the Argo BT - Supernatural Re-makings in Robert Holdstock’s Merlin Codex JF - thersites 17 N2 - This paper analyses the relationship between the figure of the Argo (ship and character) and the supernatural in the mythic fantasy of Robert Holdstock’s Merlin Codex. It shows how Holdstock’s re-writing of the Argonautica draws on various versions from the Argonautic tradition, including Euripides’ Medea, Apollonius, Valerius Flaccus, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Treece and the 1963 film Jason and the Argonauts. It sets Holdstock’s Argo alongside other representations, as divine herself, possessed by divinity, and a channel of communication with the divine, and in the context of Holdstock’s previous work, particularly Mythago Wood, Lavondyss and Merlin’s Wood. The paper argues that Holdstock uses the Argo as a reflection of myth itself, a version of the forest in Mythago Wood, as well as a metapoetic image for the challenges and complexities of adapting a well-known story, bringing multiple mythological traditions (Arthurian, Finnish and Argonautic) together. It reflects on Holdstock’s relationship to the ancient genres of epic and tragedy, as well as Argo as plot facilitator and mechanism of transformation and transition. Holdstock’s relationship with ancient literature is richer and deeper than previously acknowledged; his self-conscious plays reveal a deep understanding of the polymorphous nature of mythical traditions.

T1 - The Persistence of Memory BT - Forgiveness, Forgetting, and Cultural Assimilation JF - thersites 17 N2 - The 2017 Pixar film Coco and the 2021 Disney film Encanto form a small part of an increasing modern wave of media focused on parent-child conflicts caused by intergenerational trauma and rejection. Other recent works in this genre include the video game Hades, the films Turning Red and Everything Everywhere All At Once, and the television series Ms. Marvel. The traumas in all these films, some directed explicitly at a younger audience and some pitched more broadly, serve as a distinct set of meditations on the immigrant experience, even while not necessarily focusing on literal immigration. They also all invoke imagery of ghosts and death, both echoing specific classical Mediterranean motifs and tropes and incorporating a wide variety of other cultures’ supernatural traditions. These works’ concern with familial traumas of separation, culture shock, and loss of ancestral memories and connections contrasts sharply with the individual-focused myth of the American Dream common to earlier generations of American media, in which a lone individual typically emigrates, assimilates, and succeeds in a new culture, forming a new family and set of myths. However, themes of assimilation and questions of cultural imperialism also form a bridge between ancient Roman and modern North American anxieties and traditions.

Der Relevanzwahrnehmung in Lehr-Lern-Situationen werden indes motivations- und interessensförderliche Effekte und dadurch Einflüsse auf den Wissenserwerb zugeschrieben. Der Beitrag stellt eine auf Theorien zur Relevanzeinschätzung und einem besonderen, auf Lehr-Lern-Kontexte anwendungsbezogenen Fachwissen basierende Interventionsmaßnahme im Bachelorgeschichtsstudium an der Universität Potsdam vor: eine spezielle Vorlesung und Online-Tutorium mit Lehr-Lern-Videos, die auf die Erhöhung der Relevanzwahrnehmung von Lehramts- und Fachstudierenden abzielt. Eine fragebogengestützte Erhebung zu den Relevanzeinschätzungen der Studierenden nach dem Besuch der Lehrveranstaltung zeigt, dass alle Geschichtsstudierenden die Inhalte der Vorlesung und des Online-Tutoriums als relevant für Studium und Beruf einschätzen. Insbesondere die Inhalte des Online-Tutoriums, das anwendungsbezogenes Fachwissen vertieft, werden als berufsrelevant eingestuft, Fachstudierende könnten aber noch besser adressiert und Reflexionsfragen zur eigenen Generierung von Relevanz seitens der Studierenden eingebaut werden. Die Studie belegt insgesamt Gelingensfaktoren für die Konzeption fachwissenschaftlicher Vorlesungen, die auch an anderen Universitätsstandorten die mangelnde Relevanzeinschätzung erhöhen könnten. N2 - According to surveys among students in the training program for aspiring teachers, perceived relevance is mediocre, especially in regard to academic content that is discipline-specific. The perception of relevance in teaching and learning situations is associated with motivational and interest-promoting effects, influencing knowledge acquisition. The article explores the role of the ‘relevance construct’ as well as possible support measures in the first phase of teacher education. The development of lectures based on vocational knowledge constructs is considered a possible starting point. The developed model “erweitertes Fachwissen in verschiedenen geschichtskulturellen Anwendungsbezügen” (extended subject knowledge in various historical-cultural contexts: eFWaK) forms the basis of a project at the University of Potsdam. The description and theoretical derivation of the model is part of the article. The focus is on the presentation of an intervention measure regarding the study of history at the University of Potsdam. This intervention aims to increase the perception of relevance and the eFWaK among regular history students and those participating in the teacher training programme through specific overview lectures and teaching-learning videos. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated using a questionnaire that was specifically developed to assess possible changes of the perceived relevance after attending the lecture. The research team presents the evaluation and results in order to discuss the intervention measure and the usage for future surveys on the basis of the knowledge gained.

Jahrhundert JF - Die Preußische Seehandlung zwischen Markt, Staat und Kultur : 40 Jahre Stiftung Preußische Seehandlung N2 - Im 19. Jahrhundert waren Konversationslexika, wie der Name schon andeutet, dazu gedacht, die Konversation in Salon und Vereinen mit Informationen zu bereichern. In den einzelnen Artikeln wurde auf Präzision, Genauigkeit und Überprüfbarkeit gesetzt, um der Leserschaft auch ein eigenes Urteil zu ermöglichen. Die „Seehandlungs-Societät in Preußen“ oder „Seehandlung, preußische“, wie sie in deutschen Lexika vorkommt, wandelte sich im 19. Jahrhundert zur Staatsbank. In der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts fielen die Urteile der Lexika meist ablehnend aus: Die Seehandlung erschien als eine wirtschaftspolitisch katastrophale Fehlentwicklung. Eine besondere Rolle spielte der Präsident Christian (von) Rother, der die Seehandlung zum selbständigen Unternehmen gemacht hatte. Der Wandel der allgemeinen Lexika in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts veränderte auch die Sicht auf die Seehandlung. Die Geschäfte der Bank wurden positiv hervorgehoben, die Beurteilungen verwiesen auf Statistiken und Bilanzen. Der Fokus rückte von den leitenden Personen der Seehandlung hin zum Kampf um Handelsmonopole und den preußischen Landtag als öffentlichem Forum. Das vernichtende Urteil der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts war einer differenzierten Bewertung der Bankentätigkeit gewichen. N2 - In the 19th century, German Konversationslexika, as the name suggests, were intended to help with conversation in salons and private clubs for an educated public. Precision, accuracy and verifiability were emphasised in the descriptions of these works in order to enable the readership to come to comprehensive conclusions. Eventually, the Seehandlung was transformed into a state bank. During the first half of the 19th century, judgements by the encyclopedias tended to be quite negative, and the Seehandlung was portrayed as an economic-political catastrophe, severely damaging commerce. Particularly frequent reference was made to president Christian Rother, who was mainly responsible for turning the Seehandlung into an independent company. In the second half of the 19th century, public perception was thoroughly altered. By referring to statistics and balance sheets, the characteristics of the bank were emphasized. The focus of many articles shifted away from the leading figures onto the fight against trade monopolies and to the Prussian parliament as decisive actor. The scathing judgement about the Seehandlung of the first half of the 19th century was gradually replaced by a differentiated assessment of the bank’s activity.

Vor allem für die Jahrzehnte nach 1870, als die Seehandlung zur preußischen Staatsbank wurde, bleibt vieles unbekannt. Mit Alliiertem Kontrollratsbeschluss vom 15. Februar 1947 wurden das Land Preußen und auch die Seehandlung aufgelöst. Die Abwicklung der Geschäfte dauerte bis 1983. Mit dem Restvermögen wurde die heute existierende Stiftung gegründet, die sich der Förderung von Wissenschaft und Forschung, Kunst und Kultur widmet. Die von der Stiftung geförderten Aktivitäten reichen von Wissenschafts- und Literaturstipendien über den Ankauf von Nachlässen und Sammlungen bis hin zu Kulturpreisen, v.a. dem Theaterpreis Berlin. N2 - The research on the history of the Preußische Seehandlung as an organization of business promotion has only been partially begun. Especially for the decades after 1870, when the Seehandlung finally became the state bank, much remains unknown. In 1947, the allies of the Second World War ordered the state of Prussia and the Seehandlung to be dissolved. The winding up of the business lasted until 1983. The remaining assets were used to establish the public foundation that exists today, which is dedicated to the promotion of science and research, art and culture. The activities supported by the foundation range from scientific and literary scholarships to the purchase of estates and collections to cultural prizes, especially the Berlin Theaterpreis.

Als deren Direktor und dann als preußischer Finanzminister initiierte er zwischen 1782 und seinem Tod im Jahr 1804 bereits maßgeblich den langen Transformationsprozess der Seehandlung vom königlichen Wachs- und Salzmonopol hin zu einer Staatsbank, der erst im 20. Jahrhundert zum Abschluss kommen sollte. In dem Beitrag wird Struensee sowohl als Wirtschaftstheoretiker in den ökonomischen Diskursen der Aufklärung zwischen Physiokratie und Frühliberalismus situiert als auch als ein Finanzpolitiker mit konsequent europäischem Handlungshorizont vor dem Hintergrund einer beschleunigten globalen und kolonialen Mächtekonkurrenz porträtiert. N2 - The article portrays the most important protagonist in the first decades of the Preußische Seehandlung, Carl August von Struensee. Serving as its director and then as Prussian minister of finances during the years between 1782 and his death in 1804, he decisively initiated the long process of transformation of the Seehandlung from a royal wax and salt monopoly to a state bank, a process that was not to be completed until the 20th century. Struensee is discussed as an author and theorist in the economic discourses of the Enlightenment as well as a politician with a genuinely European horizon facing the challenges of accelerated global and colonial competition.

In einem zweiten Schritt wird versucht, die Stellung dieser Gebäude im urbanen Kontext zu verorten. Der dritte Teil rekonstruiert an Beispielen, welch markanten Beitrag die Preußische Seehandlung für die Berliner Museen und insbesondere für die im Berliner Schloss lozierte Kunstkammer wie auch für das Museum für Naturkunde geleistet hat, indem seine Großsegler Meteor und Princess Louise von ihren Weltreisen jeweils reich beladen mit naturkundlichen und völkerkundlichen Exponaten zurückkamen, die durch Austausch oder Kauf oder auch als Geschenk erworben worden waren. N2 - The article examines the architectural history of the building of the Preußische Seehandlung up to its demolition and new construction in 1901–1903 and then traces the changes of this building up to the present. In a second step, an attempt is made to locate the position of these buildings within their urban context. The third part reconstructs by examples the distinctive contribution of the Preußische Seehandlung to the Berlin museums and in particular to the Kunstkammer located in the Berlin Palace as well as to the Museum für Naturkunde. Its tall ships Meteor and Princess Louise returned from their world voyages richly laden with natural history and ethnological exhibits, which had been acquired by exchange or purchase, or also as gifts.

Zunächst war dies die Adelsrepublik Polen. Polen beabsichtigte er zusammen mit der Zarin Katharina II. von Russland und Kaiserin Maria Theresia zu zerteilen. Dies geschah am 5. August des Jahres. Der geraubte Landgewinn führte bei Friedrich II. zu wirtschaftlichen Überlegungen. Mit und in den annektierten Gebieten wollte er den preußischen Handel intensivieren, zuvörderst den Salzhandel, und zwar am liebsten mit Spanien, einem Land, mit dem er schon seit geraumer Zeit versuchte, einen Handelsvertrag abzuschließen. Dazu gründete er u. a. die Preußische Seehandlungs-Gesellschaft, die, um sich zu behaupten, verschiedene weitreichende Privilegien erhielt. Ein schneller Erfolg der Bemühungen blieb jedoch aus. Trotz aller gewährten Privilegien florierten die Geschäfte der Seehandlungs-Gesellschaft in den ersten Jahren nach ihrer Gründung nicht in dem erhofften Maß. Zu Lebzeiten des Königs kam auch kein Handelsvertrag mit Spanien zustande. Bis die Seehandlung durch die Vorteile, die sie aus dem annektierten Polen ziehen konnte, profitierte, dauerte es noch einige Jahre. N2 - In 1772, three matters that were to retain their importance for a long time occupied the Prussian King Frederick the Great. First was the noble republic of Poland. He intended to partition Poland together with Tsarina Catherine II of Russia and Empress Maria Theresa. This happened on August 5 of that year. The land gain resulting from this act of robbery led Frederick II. to economic considerations. Based on and with the help of the annexed territory, he wanted to intensify Prussian trade, first of all the salt trade and this preferably with Spain, a country with which he had been trying to conclude a trade treaty for quite some time. For this purpose, he founded, among others, the Prussian Sea Trading Company (Preußische Seehandlung), which, to assert itself, received various far-reaching privileges. However, the efforts were not quickly successful. Despite all the privileges granted, the business of the “Seehandlungs-Gesellschaft” did not flourish to the extent hoped for in the first years after its foundation. During the king's lifetime, no trade agreement with Spain was concluded either. It took some time before the Seehandlung profited from the advantages it could derive from annexed Poland.

Der anlässlich des Stiftungsjubiläums erscheinende Band wirft einen Blick auf die Gründungskonstellation 1772, als König Friedrich II. die Gewerbe in Preußen fördern wollte. Er zeichnet die Aktivitäten von Männern an der Spitze der Seehandlung nach, wie Finanzminister Carl August von Struensee und dem unter- nehmerisch denkenden Karrierebeamten Christian Rother. Das Gebäude der Seehandlung wurde nach 1900 neu erbaut und ist heute in der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie am Gendarmenmarkt lebendige Gegenwart. Die Seehand- lung erhielt von ihren Zeitgenossen im 19. Jahr- hundert ambivalente Urteile.

Jahrhundert. Seine Lebensgeschichte als Sohn eines schlesischen Bauern zeugt von sozialem Aufstieg und einer eindrucksvollen Beamtenkarriere. Rother formte die Seehandlung zu einem Konglomerat von gewerblichen Unternehmen, die durch Bankengeschäfte, Chausseebauprogramme und das Engagement des Staates in der Wirtschaftsförderung leistungsstark gemacht werden sollten. Der Erfolg blieb allerdings unterschiedlich. In den 1840er Jahren stießen diese Bemühungen darüber hinaus auf Kritik von unternehmerischen Konkurrenten. Bleibende Bedeutung behauptete eine von Rother gegründete soziale Einrichtung, die in Berlin ansässige Rother-Stiftung für arme und unverheiratete Töchter von Beamten und Offizieren. N2 - Christian (von) Rother, head of the Preußische Seehandlung 1820–1848, is probably the most influential figure of the institute in the 19th century. His life story as the son of a Silesian farmer bears witness to social advancement and an impressive civil service career. Rother shaped the Seehandlung into a conglomerate of commercial enterprises, which were to be made powerful through banking transactions, road construction programs and the state's involvement in economic development. It met with only partial success. In the 1840s, moreover, these efforts met with criticism from entrepreneurial competitors. A social institution founded by Rother, the Berlin-based “Rother-Stiftung” for poor and unmarried daughters of civil servants and officers, claimed lasting significance.

Das Schiff fungierte u. a. als Überbringer diplomatischer Geschenke zwischen Herrschern und Herrscherfamilien. Von der ersten Weltumsegelung brachte es den berühmten Federmantel mit, den der hawai’ianische Monarch Kamehameha III. dem preußischen König Friedrich Wilhelm III. zum Geschenk machte. Bei der zweiten Weltumsegelung wurden wiederum Gaben des preußischen Königs nach Hawai‘i transportiert. Die Princess Louise brachte aber darüber hinaus auch Gebrauchsgegenstände wie Kleidung, Waffen, Körbe, Tongefäße und Fächer aus der Südsee und Südamerika nach Europa. Solche ethnographischen Objekte der Vergangenheit können nicht zuletzt mit und durch zeitgenössische Kunst Fragen an die Gegenwart stellen. N2 - The merchant ship Princess Louise, built in Bremen and to a certain extent the flagship of the Preußische Seehandlung, sailed around the world six times between 1825 and 1844. Among other things, the ship acted as a courier of diplomatic gifts between rulers and ruling families. From the first circumnavigation, it brought back the famous feather cloak gifted by the Hawai’ian monarch Kamehameha III to the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. During the second circumnavigation, gifts from the Prussian king were transported back to Hawai’i. The Princess Louise also brought everyday objects such as clothing, weapons, baskets, clay vessels and fans from the South Seas and South America to Europe. Ethnographic objects of the past can pose questions to the present, not least with and through contemporary art.

Las obvias limitaciones a su libertad de movimiento y la relativa facilidad con la que grandes cantidades de ellos pudieron ser segregados y sus raciones controladas fueron factores cruciales a la hora de explicar la muerte de más de tres millones de prisioneros de guerra soviéticos, la inmensa mayoría de ellos como consecuencia directa o indirecta del hambre y la desnutrición. El proceso se inició con un claro desinterés por encargarse debidamente de aquella gente, pero con la llegada del otoño derivó en la decisión clara y meditada de matar de hambre a todos los que no pudieran aportar su trabajo a la economía de guerra o a los ejércitos alemanes.

Mal. Zu diesem Anlass fand am Zentrum für Buchwissenschaft der LMU München eine Tagung statt, bei der buchhandelsgeschichtliche Kontexte des Romans dargelegt, neue Interpretationen diskutiert sowie die Rezeption des Robinson Crusoe untersucht wurden. In der Einleitung des Sammelbandes legt Christine Haug dar, unter welchen presse- und buchgeschichtlichen Voraussetzungen sich Daniel Defoe im frühkapitalistischen London als Bestsellerautor und politischer Journalist etablieren konnte. Die folgenden Beiträge behandeln motivgeschichtliche, ökonomische, kultur- und rechtsgeschichtliche Aspekte des Robinson Crusoe (Oliver Bach, Anne Enderwitz, Hania Siebenpfeiffer, Daniel Syrovy), befassen sich mit der Gattung der Robinsonade ( Iwan Michelangelo d'Aprile, Norbert Bachleitner, Wolfram Malte Fues, Wynfrid Kriegleder), mit jugendliterarischen Bearbeitungen des Stoffes (Andrew O`Malley, Peter Pohl, Hans-Heino Ewers) und mit der Robinson-Rezeption in der Lyrik und im Roman des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts (Bill Bell, Daniela Jancsó). Der vorliegende Sammelband gehört zu den wenigen neuen Neuerscheinungen, die zum Robinson-Jahr veröffentlicht wurden. Erstmals wird darin im deutschsprachigen Raum die aktuelle internationale Forschung zu Defoe ausführlich dargestellt und mit einer innovativen Sicht auf den in Entstehung begriffenen globalen Buchmarkt verbunden. N2 - The year 2019 marked the 300th anniversary of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. His novel was a huge success right away and was soon followed by bootlegs and translations. With the robinsonade, an independent genre of adventure literature was born. These contributions examine the novel within the context of bookselling history, provide new interpretations, and shed light on its multifaceted adaptation history up into the twenty-first century.

Especially the war's impact on Wilhelmine foreign and world policy (Weltpolitik) has been largely neglected. However, the events in East Asia had a profound influence on the political leadership in Berlin. The Wilhelmstrasse's attitude towards the conflict changed rapidly when the course of the war in Northeast Asia made a collapse of the Qing Empire increasingly likely. Afraid of the prospect of being left empty handed in an upcoming scramble for China, German diplomacy got active in early 1895. Driven by a hectic activism which soon should become a dominant feature of Weltpolitik, Berlin concluded an ad-hoc alliance with St. Petersburg and Paris. In April 1895, this unlikely coalition intervened against Tokyo. While the Triple Intervention served primarily Russia's interest to maintain the status quo on the Chinese mainland, Germany aimed at the acquisition of a military and commercial base in Northeast Asia. Driven by public opinion, the naval leadership and the Emperor Wilhelm II., the formerly neutral and reserved German diplomacy changed towards an aggressive and unstable imperialist policy, which ultimately resulted in the acquisition of Qingdao in November 1897.

This article uses the example of the Happy World ride at Happy Valley Beijing (China) to discuss theme park imitations, that is, the fact that theme parks frequently borrow individual elements (themes, technologies, visuals, layouts, names) and/or entire units (rides, restaurants, themed areas) from each other. Opened in 2014 in the Greek-themed Aegean Harbour section of Happy Valley Beijing, Happy World may upon first sight look like an almost exact copy of Disney’s ‘it’s a small world’ (opened at Disneyland in California in 1966) but turns out to be, upon closer examination, a complex refunctionalization of central elements of ‘it’s a small world’ that establishes meaningful connections between (ancient) Greece and the city of Beijing via the theme of the Olympic Games: drawing on the origins of ‘it’s a small world’ in the 1964–5 New York World’s Fair and the latter’s motto of ‘Peace through Understanding’, Happy World takes visitors on a journey from the ancient Olympiad to contemporary Beijing (the site of the 2008 Summer and the 2022 Winter Olympic Games) to offer a theme park rendition of the 2008 Olympic torch relay as an homage to ‘the spirit [of peace, respect, and friendship] in the people’s [sic] of the world’.

After explaining the regional power hierarchy, the paper describes how the EU defines like-mindedness as an explicit partnership category in the Indo-Pacific and which of the countries qualify. Finally, the paper also examines the structural problems the EU faces when projecting power into a faraway region such as this one. The paper argues that for China’s rise to remain peaceful and in the absence of fully regional security arrangements, other Asian actors are increasingly looking for new regional structures that combine elements of cooperation, competition and containment vis-à-vis China - including a more pronounced EU role in the region.

Education and development history have recently been studied together, but this article focuses on the history of refugee higher education, which, it argues, needs to be understood within the development framework of human-capital theory, meant to support political pan African concerns for a decolonized continent and merged with humanitarian arguments to create a hybrid form of humanitarian developmentalism. The article zooms in on higher-education scholarships, above all for refugees from Southern Africa, as a means of support for human-capital development. It shows that refugee higher education was both a result and a driver of increased international exchanges, as evidenced at the 1967 conference.

They are not often considered as works of Classical Reception. These films’ influence on subsequent ancient world movies has been understudied, and undervalued. A common model of cinematic Greece and Rome in the twenty-first century looks solely back to Gladiator. Undoubtedly Gladiator, and its commercial success, is important to how ancient world movies developed; but focussing solely on Gladiator does not explain a move away from Roman history towards Greek mythology, culminating in a flurry of movies about Greek mythological heroes. Lord of the Rings is an overlooked factor. Already in Troy two LOTR stars are in key roles, and the battle scenes seek to imitate those of Jackson’s trilogy. 300 mythologizes far beyond Frank Miller’s graphic novel, adding several monsters; LOTR’s influence is at play here. LOTR’s influence was one factor in a complex process that saw ancient world movies change in the twentyfirst century. LOTR fed into an atmosphere that moved ancient world movies towards Greece, away from Rome, through promoting the appeal of a combination of epic and the fantastic.

This article aims to show how the majority of contemporaneous Latin textbooks, however, fail to use this potential by being limited to mono-perspective and Eurocentric approaches to the ancient world. In spite of didactical claims to foster students’ intercultural competence, most of the textbooks depict the city of Rome as an ethnically and culturally homogeneous sphere. At the same time, they present the Roman Empire nearly exclusively from the perspective of representatives of Italian-born, powerful upper-class families firmly connected to ‘Roman’ culture. In doing so, the Latin textbooks falsify the ancient historical realities and deprive students of the perspectives of figures like provincials or slaves. Furthermore, the textbooks’ narrative scope clearly focusses on Rome and Greece, still paying noticeable attention to West-European provinces, with the African and Asian ones being remarkably excluded. Only few exceptions among the textbooks apply alternative approaches which allow students to engage with the Roman Empire’s intercultural dynamics in a more differentiated and multi-perspective way.

The event focused on PLAYFUL CLASSICS, and was hosted from Göttingen University by the organizers Juliette Harrisson, Antje Kuhle and Martin Lindner. The keynote by Dunstan Lowe on „The Danger of Seriousness: Play and the Future of Classics“ outlined the potential of researching classical reception as a creative process. The following sections brought this to life with in-depth treatments of the underlying mechanics of constructing and deconstructing, playful learning, the „Faces of Antiquity“, forms of interaction and national/nationalistic traditions. The programme combined scholarly contributions with presentations and workshops by various artists and open discussion elements. The shift to an online format allowed the participation of an unusually international audience, while the interactive elements – including a thematic game as a continuous side event – especially encouraged a large number of students to participate actively. Therefore, this conference report will not just summarize the content of the event, but also provide a student perspective on attending a conference on classical reception – a research area which is mostly neglected in the teaching curriculum.

These ‘palaces’ allow the player to explore locations far removed from the game’s real-world, contemporary backdrop. One episode creates an ancient Egyptian world. This article examines how this world has been produced and the different transmedial tropes and other influences that its developers have drawn upon. Many references are recognisable to a broad audience (pyramids, gods, hieroglyphs), while others reflect Japanese pop-cultural trends (in various manga and anime), including the mention of an obscure Egyptian god, Medjed. The intentionally fictitious nature of these ‘palaces’ means that the Egypt that appears in this game is not bound by the need to replicate an ‘accurate’ landscape. Instead, the developers were free to design a gamescape that combines multiple and diverse receptions of ancient Egypt.

As the issue of political populism and rhetoric still attracts a high degree of interest among a wide range of people, the author, a singer-songwriter, attempts to ‘revive’ these ancient sources and to adapt them into a lyrical/musical format for modern audiences, in order to test different strategies of manipulation and gauge the reactions of modern audiences. The following article describes the process of adapting and performing two of these experiments, as well as the results and feedback from audiences. The ancient case studies chosen for this are Thucydides’ description of how Alcibiades lead the Athenians into a fatal expedition to Sicily, and Xenophon’s blames of two public orators for executing Athenian generals after the battle of Arginusae through their manipulative speeches.

They normally posit a gradual degradation (moral and ontological) from an idealized Golden Age, which went hand-in-hand with increasing detachment of gods from mortal affairs. Narratives of decline are also at the core of Tolkien’s mythology, constituting yet another underresearched aspect of classical influence on Tolkien. Such Classical narratives reverberate e.g. in Tolkien’s division of Arda’s history into ages, from an idealized First Age filled with Joy and Light to a Third Age, described as “Twilight Age (…) the first of the broken and changed world” (Letters 131). More generally, these narratives are related to Tolkien’s notorious perception of history as a “long defeat” (Letters 195) and to that “heart-racking sense of the vanished past” which pervades Tolkien’s works – the emotion which, in his words, moved him “supremely” and which he found “small difficulty in evoking” (Letters 91). The paper analyses the reception of narratives of decline in Tolkien’s legendarium, pointing out similarities but also contrasts and differences, with the aim to discuss some key patterns of (classical) reception in Tolkien’s theory and practice (‘renewal’, ‘accommodation’, ‘focalization’).

These peoples are differentiated principally by their dominant desires, but also by their speech, diet, and realms. I argue that these three races are significantly inspired by the three aspects that characterize the Republic’s tripartite soul—logistikon, thumoeides, and epithumetikon—along with their respective principal desires: desire for truth, greatness, and material goods. For Tolkien, therefore, these races have a corporate or political psychology that explains who they are as peoples in the history of Middle-earth. I offer a comprehensive view of the major races, connecting the dwarves with the appetitive artisans of the Republic, humans with the honour- and glory-seeking auxiliaries, and elves with the ruling guardians. This treatment explains the artisanal dwarves, as well as the battle-loving men (and women) of Rohan and Gondor, and the nostalgic, ‘anamnetic’ condition of exile that distinguishes the elves. Indeed, the condition of elves in many descriptions recalls a Platonic philosopher returned to the Cave, as well as the Neo-Platonic sagacity pictured in the biographies of Plotinus and Proclus.

In the first part, I compare the lay with Virgilian and Ovidian versions of Orpheus’ myth. This comparison shows the anonymous author’s deep knowledge of the ancient texts and complex way of rewriting them through stealing and hybridization. The lay was highly esteemed by Tolkien, who translated it and took inspiration from it while describing the Elven kingdom in The Hobbit and building the storyline of Beren and Lúthien in The Silmarillion. Through this key tale, Orpheus/Orfeo’s romance has a deep influence also on Aragorn and Arwen’s story in The Lord of the Rings. The most important element that Tolkien takes from the Sir Orfeo figuration of the ancient story is undoubtedly the insertion of political theme: the link established between the recovery of the main character’s beloved and the return to royal responsability. The second part of the paper is, thus, dedicated to the reception of Sir Orfeo and the classical myth in Tolkien. It shows how in his work the different steps of the tradition of Orpheus’ story are co-present, creating an inextricable substrate of inspiration that nourishes his imagination.

BT - Livy, Macaulay, and Tolkien on the Horatius Cocles Episode JF - thersites 15 N2 - This article analyzes Tolkien’s narrative of the Battle of Helm’s Deep as a retelling of the Horatius Cocles episode from Livy’s AUC, which contains descriptions of the defenses and the bridge, a rally encouraged by Horatius, his bold stand both with his companions and alone, and the honors paid to him after the battle. Tolkien’s Battle of Helm’s Deep contains the same elements split across two narratives: the defense of the causeway leading to the gates of the Deep by Aragorn, Éomer, and Gimli; and, after the fall of the Deeping wall, Aragorn’s defiant stand alone on the stairway leading to the inner doors of the Hornburg. Aragorn’s double action demonstrates a fulfillment of Livy’s exemplary arc. Tolkien’s knowledge of Macaulay’s “Horatius” provides a possible intermediary that accounts for various additions to the story. However, the larger structure of Tolkien’s narrative as well as the imagery that resonates throughout the text distinctly evoke the vivid descriptions of Livy. While both sets of heroes make brave stands against their enemies, Tolkien’s warriors represent a civilizing force in their efforts to build and restore their defenses while Livy’s Roman heroes destroy the bridge to save their state.

The Fall of Gondolin, written in 1916, was modeled upon the Aeneid, whose second book shares many similarities with the description of Gondolin’s last day. For instance, the attack that seals the fate of the city takes place during a feast in both works, whereas both protagonists (Aeneas and Tuor) leave wives and sons to fight the enemy and witness deaths of their kings (Priam/Turgon). Other analogies include the topos of the fall of the tallest tower of the city as well as the scenes of Creusa/Idril clasping the knees of her husband and begging him not to go back to the battle. Tolkien chose the Aeneid as his main model because, in his opinion, the Aeneid and The Fall of Gondolin evoked the air of antiquity and melancholy. Vergil’s nostalgia for a “lost world” conveyed in the Aeneid greatly resembles the nostalgia pervading both Tolkien’s writing and life.

Smith’s “Elzevir Cicero” and the Construction of Queer Immortality in Tolkien’s Mythopoeia JF - thersites 15 N2 - Following the death of J. R. R. Tolkien in 1973, an obituary appeared in The Times quoting Tolkien as having said that his “love for the classics took ten years to recover from lectures on Cicero and Demosthenes.” This contentious relationship between Tolkien and the Greco-Roman past contrasts with the work of unabashedly classicizing poet Geoffrey Bache Smith, a school friend of Tolkien’s who was killed in the Great War. When Tolkien collected Smith’s poems for posthumous publication, this paper shows, Smith’s engagements with the ancient world became part of Tolkien’s own philosophy of immortality through literary composition. Within his 1931 poem “Mythopoeia,” and his 1939 speech “On Fairy-Stories,” Tolkien articulated a unified method of mythmaking by looking back to his lost friend’s understanding of mythology as a type of ancient story-craft that enabled poets to preserve the dead against the ravages of time. By tracing a triangular path through the relationships between Tolkien, Smith, and the classical past inhabited by figures like Cicero, this paper argues that Tolkien not only recovered a “love for the classics,” but used classical texts to “recover” his lost friend, granting Smith a queer, classical immortality in return.

This paper aims to ascertain the late antique and mediaeval sources of inspiration behind Tolkien’s creation of the throne room in Minas Tirith. As a starting point, we shall compare the setting of the two thrones in Minas Tirith with a motive in Christian iconography, the hetoimasia, and its architectural expression in the Chrysotriklinos, the throne room in the Byzantine Great Palace in Constantinople. Next, we shall show that Tolkien intentionally obscured his appropriation of the Byzantine throne room to create a multi-layered image of rulership, in accordance with his aesthetics of applicability and allegory. In conclusion, we shall formulate some remarks on the interpretation of the association between the Byzantine Chrysotriklinos and the Gondorian Great Hall. As a form of Tolkien’s literary process of sub-creation, the description of the throne room in Minas Tirith serves to emphasise the significance of The Return of the King as a retelling of Christ’s restoration of the fallen world, placing the work of Tolkien in the context of a strong personal Catholic piety.

Fangorn Forest is clearly a sacred site as defined by Seneca, made even more sacred by the presence of the Ents. Thus, to violate it would be a terrible act of desecration, not unlike Lucan’s narrator’s shock at Caesar’s desecration of the sacred grove at Massilia (Lucan BC 3.447 – 8, quoted in the title of this paper). After exploring the relationship between Ents and sacred groves, the paper will compare the fate of Caesar to that of Saruman, who violated Fangorn Forest. Just as Augoustakis (2006) argues that the violation of the grove foreshadows Caesar’s death, so too Saruman’s death at the hands of Wormtongue becomes a fitting punishment for his violation of Fangorn.

Wie aber realisiert sich diese Funktion in den einzelnen Fächern an der Universität Potsdam und welche Folgen ergeben sich für die Ausbildung der Lehramtsstudierenden ? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wurde eine Analyse der Verankerung der FTP in allen Studienordnungen hinsichtlich qualitativer (Inhalte und Ziele, Prüfungsformen, Belegungsvoraussetzungen) und quantitativer (Leistungspunkte, Semesterwochenstunden) Kriterien durchgeführt. Leitfadengestützte Interviews mit verantwortlichen Fachdidaktikerinnen und Fachdidaktikern dienten der Untersuchung der konkreten Umsetzung und der Relevanzzuschreibung. Ziel war es, durch das Zusammenführen beider Zugänge – der realiter existierenden Curricula, der individualisierten Praktiken sowie der subjektiven Überzeugungen – ein Verständnis eben jener „studienleitenden Funktion“ zu erlangen und anschließend Diskussions- und Handlungsfelder für die Weiterentwicklung des FTP herauszuarbeiten. N2 - The teaching internship (FTP) in the bachelor’s degree program has always been one core element of the Potsdam model of teacher education, which is assigned nothing less than a “study guiding function”. But how is this function interpreted and put into practice by the different departments of the University of Potsdam, and what are the consequences for the training of pre-service teachers ? In order to answer these questions, this article examines how the FTP is implemented in the study regulations with regard to qualitative criteria (contents and goals, forms of examination, requirements for enrollment) and quantitative criteria (credit points, workload). It also asks for the relevance of the FTP by conducting guided interviews with responsible lecturers. Combining both approaches – the analysis of existing curricula and the individualized practices as well as the subjective believes of the lecturers – we gain an understanding of the so-called “study guiding function” of the FTP and are thus able to elaborate areas for discussion for the development of the FTP.
