Introduction
(2020)
In 1932, Grace Harriet Macurdy, Professor of Greek at Vassar College, wrote about Cleopatra’s and Marc Antony’s lifestyle in Egypt: In a manner of living as though taken from the Arabian Nights Entertainment, they gambled, drank, hunted and fished together, and wandered about Alexandria by night in disguise. . . 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...

The Tetrarchy as Ideology
(2023)
The 'Tetrarchy', the modern name assigned to the period of Roman history that started with the emperor Diocletian and ended with Constantine I, has been a much-studied and much-debated field of the Roman Empire. Debate, however, has focused primarily on whether it was a true 'system' of government, or rather a collection of ad-hoc measures undertaken to stabilise the empire after the troubled period of the 3rd century CE. The papers collected here aim to go beyond this question and to present an innovative approach to a fascinating period of Roman history by understanding the Tetrarchy not as a system of government, but primarily as a political language. Their focus thus lies on the language and ideology of the imperial college and court, on the performance of power in imperial ceremonies, the representation of the emperors and their enemies in the provinces of the Roman world, as well as on the afterlife of Tetrarchic power in the Constantinian period.

Sardinien
(2023)
Die antike Geschichte Sardiniens ist noch heute ein sichtbarer Bestandteil der insularen Landschaft: Nuraghen und Gräber aus der Bronzezeit, punische Nekropolen, Ruinen von römischen Städten und spätantike Kirchen, in denen man teilweise noch heute Gottesdienste feiert, prägen die zweitgrößte Insel des Mittelmeeres und überraschen die Besuchenden immer wieder aufs Neue.
Ausgewählte Stätten im Südwesten der Insel standen auf dem Reiseplan einer Exkursion von Studierenden der Universität Potsdam. Der vorliegende Reiseführer ist das Ergebnis ihrer Forschung und bietet eine kurze Beschreibung der sardischen Geschichte von der Antike bis ins 21. Jahrhundert, thematisiert die Rolle der antiken Geschichte in all ihren Facetten für die heutige sardische Identität und ordnet die größeren Orte auf der Reiseroute historisch-archäologisch ein. Detaillierte Beschreibungen von Ausgrabungsstätten, Katakomben und nuraghischen Kraftorten runden das Buch ab.
Die Beiträge wurden durch die studentischen Stipendiatinnen und Stipendiaten der Denkfabrik Scriptio Continua erarbeitet und geschrieben.
Der Band stellt Schlüsselbegriffe der Public History vor und erschließt diese über die wichtigsten Themenfelder und zentrale Forschungsperspektiven. Er richtet sich an Studierende, Lehrende und Praktiker:innen, die sich mit Geschichte in der Öffentlichkeit befassen und bietet Zugänge zur theoretischen Fundierung der Public History als Teil der historischen Kulturwissenschaften an.
Studies on the “uses of the past” have steadily and consistently advanced over the past twenty years. Following the seminal studies by Hobsbawm and Ranger and Benedict Anderson on the role of narratives of the past in constructing (national) identities, and thanks the always more widespread practice of reception studies, the attention for cultural memory and lieux de mémoire, and following, many publications have investigated the role of nearer and further time layers in defining and determining structures of identity and senses of belonging across the world. Didactics of history has also contributed a great deal to this field of studies, also thanks to the always more refined methodologies of school book analysis. Classical Antiquity has obviously not been neglected, and multiple studies have been dedicated to its role in the development and reinforcement of modern identities. Yet, not only some areas of the world have remained less considered than others, but most attention has been dedicated to national identities, nationalistic discourses, and their activation through historical narratives. This special issues of thersites wants to contribute further to research on the role of Classical Antiquity within modern identities, asking scholars to focus especially on areas that have been less strongly represented in scholarship until now.
