TY - JFULL ED - Carlà-Uhink, Filippo ED - Lindner, Martin T1 - Imagines BT - classical receptions in the visual and performing arts N2 - This series seeks to broaden the scholarly community’s understanding of the reception of classical antiquity in the visual and performing arts. 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. The reason for this, we argue, is...

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. Badges of rank or jewellery of Roman wives? N2 - This article aims at a critical assessment of Roman jewellery and its social function. The literary sources in general take a moralising stance towards jewellery and the external appearance of women, particularly of those from families of the nobility. An analysis of legal and pictorial evidence shows that the ornamenta uxoria had more than a decorative function. They clearly indicated wealth, rank and merit. Furthermore, a change of junction from republican to imperial times can be detected: during the republic, a noblewoman's ornamenta were indicative of the status of her family (gens). Later, in imperial times, women were allowed ornamenta for individual merits (motherhood being first among them) Y1 - 2005 SN - 0971-9458 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Kunst, Christiane ED - Juneja, Monica ED - Signori, Gabriela T1 - Ornamenta uxoria : badges of rank or jewellery of Roman wives?

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. While Hitler had relied on the conservative elites, including the Foreign Ministry and the military, their influence on decision-making was waning by 1938-1939 Y1 - 2004 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Angelow, Jürgen T1 - The "event of war in Serbia" as a volition therapy : operative planning, political mentalities and visions before and at the beginning of the First World War Y1 - 2004 SN - 0204-8906 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - von Treskow, Isabella T1 - Art, culture and civil war : forms of the cultural argument with civil war force in the 20th century : a conference report Y1 - 2004 ER -
