Beskrivning

The studies included in Mythogenesis, Interdiscursivity, Ritual — written in honor of Professor Demetrios Yatromanolakis, a pioneering and influential scholar — shed new light on a variety of areas: the encounters of ancient Greece with other societies and cultures in antiquity; the interplay between art (vase-painting and sculpture) and broader ideological developments/ mentalities in antiquity; ritual in ancient Greek contexts; political ideologies and religion; history of scholarship, textual criticism/critical editing, and hermeneutics; the reception of myth and of archaic and classical Greek culture and philosophy in diverse discursive, mediatic, and sociocultural contexts — from early twentieth-century painting, to modernism and the avant-garde, to Foucauldian thought.

Recensioner i media

"By weaving together contributions from anthropology, classics, aesthetics, intellectual history, and critical theory, this Festschrift does not intimidate; it invites to think anew. [...] Mythogenesis, Interdiscursivity, Ritual is not only a tribute to a singular scholar. It is also a methodological laboratory, a set of experiments that demonstrate how to think across traditions, genres, and epochs. Readers will not come away with the sense that they must master everything at once; rather, they will find models for how to let seemingly distant practices speak to one another. In that sense, the book is not just for the rare polymath of the kind of Demetrios Yatromanolakis, but for everyone who is willing to imagine new paths of inquiry." Alberto Parisi, in Eirene, Studia Graeca et Latina, LXI, 2025, I-II, pp. 286-287.
