In Late Antiquity the emergence of Christian asceticism challenged the traditional Greco-Roman views and practices of family life. The resulting discussions on the right way to live a good Christian life provide us with a variety of information on both ideological statements and living experiences of late Roman childhood. This is the first book to scrutinise the interplay between family, children and asceticism in the rise of Christianity. Drawing on texts of Christian authors of the late fourth and early fifth centuries the volume approaches the study of family dynamics and childhood from both ideological and social historical perspectives. It examines the place of children in the family in Christian ideology and explores how families in the late Roman world adapted these ideals in practice. Offering fresh viewpoints to current scholarship Ville Vuolanto demonstrates that there were many continuities in Roman ways of thinking about children and, despite the rise of Christianity, the old traditions remained deeply embedded in the culture. Moreover, the discussions about family and children are shown to have been intimately linked to worries about the continuity of family lineage and of the self, and to the changing understanding of what constituted a meaningful life.

Children and Everyday Life in the Roman and Late Antique World explores what it meant to be a child in the Roman world - what were children’s concerns, interests and beliefs - and whether we can find traces of children’s own cultures. By combining different theoretical approaches and source materials, the contributors explore the environments in which children lived, their experience of everyday life, and what the limits were for their agency. The volume brings together scholars of archaeology and material culture, classicists, ancient historians, theologians, and scholars of early Christianity and Judaism, all of whom have long been involved in the study of the social and cultural history of children. The topics discussed include children's living environments; clothing; childhood care; social relations; leisure and play; health and disability; upbringing and schooling; and children's experiences of death. While the main focus of the volume is on Late Antiquity its coverage begins with the early Roman Empire, and extends to the early ninth century CE. The result is the first book-length scrutiny of the agency and experience of pre-modern children.

This book analyses the interconnection of space and experience in Roman antiquity, Byzantium, and the Middle Ages, ca. 100 BCE–1500 CE.The joint analysis of these two conceptual spearheads enables a novel analysis of how space affected social frameworks and how experiences built communities and shaped individual lives over the longue durée. The volume manifests the richness and innovativeness of analysing individual and shared experiences together with space as cultural, political, and social constructions, bridging micro and macro levels. Ten high-quality case studies explore experiencing domestic, urban, political, and sacred space. An in-depth introduction explains the main concepts, and an epilogue binds the themes and chapters together. The volume utilizes a wide array of source material and has comprehensive coverage chronologically, geographically, and disciplinarily, including several branches of classical, Byzantine, and medieval studies.The volume serves graduate students and scholars of several disciplines and fields: classics and ancient history, medieval history, Byzantine studies, archaeology, and art history. It will also be fruitful to scholars of the modern period whose work touches upon the field of the history of experiences.

Slavery in the Late Antique World, 150 - 700 CE investigates the ideological, moral, cultural, and symbolic aspects of slavery, as well the living conditions of slaves in the Mediterranean basin and Europe during a period of profound transformation. It focuses on socially marginal areas and individuals on an unprecedented scale. Written by an international team of scholars, the volume establishes that late ancient slavery is a complex and polymorphous phenomenon, one that was conditioned by culture and geography. Rejecting preconceived ideas about slavery as static and without regional variation, it offers focused case studies spanning the late ancient period. They provide in-depth analyses of authors and works, and consider a range of factors relevant to the practice of slavery in specific geographical locations. Using comparative and methodologically innovative approaches, this book revisits and questions established assumptions about late ancient slavery. It also enables fresh insights into one of humanity's most tragic institutions.

Written by a team of experts, this first volume of A Cultural History of Youth examines the ambiguity of youth in the ancient world, depictions of youth in literature, adult views of the young, agency and experience of young people, and the broader social contexts in which the cultural histories of the ancient world played out. Overall, this volume offers a dynamic account of youth in the ancient world, providing a detailed study of the 500BCE-500CE period, and allowing readers to trace representations and enactments of youth across time. While still concentrating on the Graeco-Roman world, it offers a more global approach to antiquity than previous work in the field. Richly illustrated with images of statues, sculptures, friezes, and artefacts, this volume offers a detailed study of youth in ancient culture and covers its interactions with themes such as Concepts of Youth; Spaces and Places; Education and Work; Leisure and Play; Emotions; Gender, Sexuality and the Body; Belief and Ideology; Authority and Agency; War and Conflict; and Towards a Global History

Antiikin perintö on olennainen osa eurooppalaista sivistystä ja identiteettiä. Se on läsnä kielissä ja kulttuurissa, tieteissä ja taiteissa, arvoissa ja ajattelumalleissa sekä yhteiskunnan rakenteissa.Monitieteinen antiikintutkimus on tarpeen, jotta ymmärrämme muinaisten kreikkalaisten ja roomalaisten vaikutuksen arjessamme sekä osaamme tuottaa kriittistä tietoa ja vaihtoehtoisia tulevaisuudenkuvia.Antiikki ja me esittelee suomalaista antiikintutkimusta, joka on vireää, korkeatasoista ja kansainvälisesti tunnustettua. Esillä ovat niin elävät kuolleet kielet, antiikin ajatusten pitkät jäljet kuin kirjallisuuden tosiklassikot.Teos selvittää, mitä tiedetään naisista antiikin ajan filosofiassa ja uskonnoissa ja millainen suhde roomalaisilla oli luontoon. Siinä tarkastellaan myös antiikin ihmiskäsityksiä, tragedian olemusta, runoutta mielihyvän ja tyydytyksen lähteenä sekä antiikin kirjallisuuden kääntämistä matkana outoon. Entä oliko antiikin lääketieteestä mihinkään, ja miten ankat liittyvät roomalaiseen oikeuteen?

Teos lähestyy lasten kokemuksia antiikissa ja keskiajalla tarinoiden ja konkreettisten esimerkkien kautta. Mistä arki koostui, miten tytöt ja pojat käyttivät aikansa, ja millaisia iloja ja suruja elämään kuului? Usein ajatellaan, että lasten elämä antiikissa ja keskiajalla oli kurjaa ja heitä kohdeltiin julmasti. Vastakohdaksi esitetään valoisa ja sivistynyt nykyaika, joka korostaa lapsen oikeuksia. Lapsuus ja arki antiikissa ja keskiajalla osoittaa tuon käsityksen yksipuolisuuden. Lasten elämää luonnehti suhde vanhempiin ja muihin perheenjäseniin, leikki ja oppiminen niin koulussa kuin jokapäiväisissäkin askareissa - kuten nykyäänkin. Toisaalta lasten tekemä työ ja uskonto arjen rytmittäjänä tekevät vanhan maailman lapsuudesta meille vieraan. Teos tuo esille lasten omia näkökulmia ja kokemuksia sekä vertailee elämää Rooman valtakunnassa ja sydänkeskiajalla. Elämänmakuisten esimerkkiensä ansiosta kirja on kiinnostavaa luettavaa. Se on ensimmäinen laaja suomeksi tehty tutkimus aiheesta, ja sen näkökulmat ovat kansainvälisestikin uraa uurtavia.
