A particular focus will be drawn on the 20th and 21st centuries and on media that have been traditionally neglected because considered “commercial” and/or “popular”, such as comics, advertising, digital media, design, fashion, and theme parks. It challenges traditional, and still very widespread, assumptions that distinguish “high” from “popular” culture, but also demonstrates the indisputable importance that classical antiquity enjoys in the modern and postmodern world, and all across the planet, carefully looking at forms of Classical Receptions outside the “traditional” regions object of such studies. Through a consistent shift from the traditional, academic approach, the series is the product of a continuous dialogue between scholars on the one side, and “producers” of classical reception – painters, sculptors, photographs, architects, designers, etc. –on the other, who write about their mechanisms of appropriation of the Ancient world . Each book highlights the popularity of antiquity today and reveals the forms and mechanisms of its reception. The series thus explains the choice of subjects and motives, the elaboration and re-mediatization processes taking place in the creative act, as well as the complexity of the “reception chains”, which make it today impossible, for instance, to visualize the ancient world without the filter of historical movies.

The Italic rebels were defeated militarily, yet they achieved their political aims. As such, this war – and its elaboration and memorialization in Roman cultural memory – provides a very interesting case study about how "victory" and "defeat" are constructed discursively after a disruptive war, and how its narration is "functionalized" for a re-foundation of the civic body.

Even Macurdy – the author of a pioneering study on Hellenistic queens and ‘woman-power’, in which she stressed the necessity of evaluating powerful women by the same standards as their male counterparts – could not avoid using an Orientalist flair when describing the most famous Ptolemaic queen. It is the aim of this book to show that Macurdy was and is anything but alone, and that discourses and images developed by the Orientalist imagination have dominated the ways in which powerful ancient women have been represented in modern reception.

Although the German states under the leadership of Prussia had prepared themselves for the operational requirements of a war against France in the years following 1866, they had underestimated the need for a mobilisation of their home country in order to achieve a successful outcome. Therefore private help had to be activated to fulfil important tasks at home coordinated by the states. A central requirement German governments faced at home was the care for the Wounded, the family members of drafted soldiers and French POWs. Since the states were able to provide neither money nor personnel for these tasks, they endeavoured systematically to acquire and exploit the necessary support of the population through the foundation and centralisation of patriotic relief associations. In the process, the authorities tried to gain maximum control over the associations through the state; to achieve this, they even accepted a partly reduced efficiency of the relief actions. The costs explosion and the declining support for the relief associations at home clearly indicate that in the course of the campaign, the war against France was seen more and more critically, and an initial war euphoria - if it had existed on a large scale at all - wore off quickly. Voluntary activities in medical orderly detachments, which had been stylised as a selfless patriotic sacrifice were often based on social pressure and sensation-seeking and thus can hardly be used as evidence for an alleged war euphoria. This, is illustrated by the work of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem which in general was rather counterproductive. The practice of collecting donations for support associations, increasingly enforced in the course of the war, and the growing involvement of women in the war effort on the home front demonstrate that the Franco-Prussian war had a much greater effect on Germany's social structures than had been recognised by research until now Y1 - 2005 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Kunst, Christiane T1 - Ornamenta uxoria.

Post-war statements by German diplomats portrayed the conservative elite as reluctant participants in Hitler's drive to war. However, an examination of the foreign policy views of German conservatives reveals a significant degree of convergence with Nazi goals in their desire to revise Germany's post-Versailles borders with Poland. In order to understand the role of the German diplomatic elite, it is also necessary to understand the degree to which foreign policy was subject to the same "polycracy" of decision-making instances that characterised the structure of the "Third Reich" in general.

La première partie de l’ouvrage, consacrée à l’exemplarité d’une histoire illustrée de gravures qui ont durablement marqué les représentations du passé, revisite la question des grands hommes, reproduit, traduit et analyse la circulation d’exemples édifiants entre les deux espaces. La deuxième partie traite d’un mode de représentation pédagogique de l’histoire qui suscitait, et suscite toujours, la fascination tout en posant un défi de méthode: l’usage pédagogique d’un tableau permettant de saisir d’un seul coup d’oeil toute l’histoire d’un peuple voire de l’humanité tout entière, et d’en tirer des leçons politiques. L’idée, encore structurante aujourd’hui, d’un modèle politique ou pédagogique allemand ou français d’une écriture de l’histoire couplée, ou non, à la géographie est examinée ici au prisme des contextes précis où elle a été pensée.

Der Hintergrund der Überlegungen ist die ‚monokulturelle‘ Kondition der polnischen Gesellschaft nach den Katastrophen des 20. Jahrhunderts, die u.a. in den literarischen Rückgriffen auf die vergangene kulturelle Pluralität in den letzten drei Dekaden kritisch reflektiert wurde, heute aber wieder – in der populistisch-nationalistischen Politik – affirmiert wird. Dabei ermöglicht eine historische Perspektive auf die kulturellen Verflechtungen des literarischen Schreibens in der polnischen Sprache einen Einblick in die historisch heterogenen Formen literarischer Transkulturalität, die von den jeweiligen politischen und sozialen Kontexten abhängen. Eine umfassende Behandlung des Schreibens in der polnischen Sprache unter Bedingungen des Sprachwechsels bzw. der Mehrsprachigkeit seit der frühen Neuzeit bis zum 20. Jh. bleibt ein Desiderat. Den Höhepunkt einer auf diese Art gedachten Literaturgeschichte bildet – so die These des Artikels – die spezifische Ausprägung der polnisch-jüdischen Literatur in der Zwischenkriegszeit, in welcher Konzepte einer hybriden Doppelzugehörigkeit in linguistischen und topographischen Chiasmen dramatisch auf die Spitze getrieben werden und somit die ungelösten Probleme der Zeit spiegeln.

One perspective has so far been neglected: the assessments of foreign military observers. This article examines American, British, German, and Austrian views on the operations and thereby also analyses the mindset of European officers at the time. The core argument emerging from these reports is that the war was perceived as a rather ‘normal’ colonial conflict. Neither the use of gas, nor the employment of aircraft against civilians was seen as a taboo or created significant outrage among the military observers. Instead, they lauded the Italians’ steady logistical efforts and employment of artillery and airpower to overcome nature and the enemy’s resistance.

Yet there are differences between the ways in which they present their theme. Some of these differences pertain to genre conventions of autobiography and Christian hagiographic writing, but these are further conditioned by the concrete expectations of the intended audience and the authors’ different religious beliefs. While both are primarily engaged in creating different types of role models, the charge of magic functions as a narrative moment that shapes the character of the relevant hero differentially.
