The first comprehensive multi-disciplinary study of Junian LatinitySets a new agenda for the study of Junian Latinity, slavery, manumission and citizenship at Rome Discusses the historical and legal developments of Junian Latinity from Republic to and beyond Late Antiquity Combines authoritative surveys with cutting-edge arguments Brings together leading researchers from history, law and literature This book offers new historical, legal and literary explorations of a status held by uncountable formerly enslaved persons in the Roman Empire: Junian Latinity. It is the first book in any language to provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary study of this status. Divided in two parts, the book sets the scene with six chapters that discuss the legal innovations that created Junian Latinity, as well as the historical contexts in which the status was conceived and in which it developed from the late republican period to the early medieval world. Four chapters in the second book part offer then new research on key Latin literary texts to provide fresh insights into the role of Junian Latinity in Roman imperial society. The book makes a strong case for the centrality of Junian Latinity in the Roman Empire and the importance of its modern study.

This book offers a uniquely concentrated study of Roman child slavery through the lens of archaeological, epigraphic, papyrological and literary evidence. Across ten chapters, each expertly written by a subject specialist, the collection traces the experience of enslaved children in the Roman imperial world from the battlefield to the tomb. Through this holistic approach we can glimpse the lived reality of child enslavement and slavery — from violent capture and sale, via ruthless sexualisation and abuse, commodification and exploitation, to communal integration, social appreciation and profound familial approbation. By its focus on multiple key events in the lives of enslaved children, the book centres attention on the diversity of experiences that characterise child slavery in the Roman Empire. In their totality, the presented case studies demonstrate the importance of a child-centred approach to the study of Roman slavery and Roman society more broadly.

Das Internet hat sich durch seine Verhäuslichung massenhaft verbreitet: Wie verlief der Anschaffungsprozess? Wie haben Paare das Internet in ihren Alltag eingefügt und welche Veränderungen brachten mobile Technologien? Wie haben sich die häuslichen Medienrepertoires und Kommunikationskulturen verändert? Diese und weitere Fragen beantwortet die qualitative Langzeitstudie mit Paarhaushalten. In ethnografisch orientierten Haushaltsstudien wurde ein systematisch zusammengestelltes Sample von 25 Paaren zwischen 2008 und 2016 viermal zu ihrem häuslichen Medienhandeln befragt. Ergänzt werden die Befunde durch eine Untersuchung von 16 Paaren der Online-Avantgarde im Jahr 2016.
