Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First Edition. Superior copy, gift-quality condition, inside and out, no discernible wear, bright and shiny dust jacket, protected. Bound in a short octavo format, brown cloth over boards, sharp and distinct gilt lettering to spine. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. From the publisher's blurb, "Medusa, literally, petrifies: her face turned the ancients to stone. For Perseus and his patriarchal culture she was a dangerous female monster that had to be destroyed; for Dante she was the erotic power that could destroy men; Freud saw in her hair a nest of terrifying penises signaling castration. Yet in our time Medusa's reputation has improved: feminists see her as a noble victim of the patriarchy, and the designer Versace celebrates the lure of her mysterious face in a logo which stares at us from his ads for men's underwear, haute couture and exotic dinner-ware. In our modern culture she is once again a power-player demanding to be recognized; Medusa, it seems, still has the power to transfix us. Medusa: In the Mirror of Time explores how and why the mythical figure of the gorgon has become one of the most important and enduring ideas throughout human history. This book represents Medusa's biography, searching for the origins of the myth in cultures more ancient than Classical Greece. Ultimately it shows the Medusa myth to be a cultural dream, which continues to develop and change with our times.At the same time it explores what the changing Medusa myth reveals about our culture, and ourselves." [6], 7-128 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

Condition: Gut. 128 Seiten / p., 24 Abb. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Medusa petrifies. Her gaze turned the ancients to stone. For Dante she was an erotic force that could destroy men. Freud saw in her serpentine hair a nest of terrifying penises signalling the castration complex, while for the Greek hero Perseus she was a dangerous female monster who must be slain. Yet in our time Medusa s reputation has improved: feminists see her as a noble victim of a patriarchal society; the fashion house Versace celebrates the lure of her mysterious visage in a logo that stares out at us from its adverts; and she has served as a model for numerous theories by modern philosophers and intellectuals. In our contemporary culture she is once again a power player demanding to be recognized. Medusa still transfixes us. -- In Medusa: In the Mirror of Time David Leeming explores how and why the mythical figure of the Gorgon has become one of the most important and enduring of human history. He searches for Medusa s origins in global cultures more disparate and more ancient than the well-known classical Greek and follows her path through the centuries. The author finds that the Medusa myth is a cultural dream that has continually developed and changed with each passing era, ultimately bringing him to the question: what does the Medusa dream say about us?

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Medusa tötet. Wer es wagt, ihr ins Gesicht zu schauen und ihrem Blick zu begegnen, erstarrt zu Stein. Dank eines spiegelnden Schildes konnte Perseus sie schließlich besiegen, so die mythologische Überlieferung.Der Dichter Dante war der Erste, der in Medusa einen erotischen, männermordenden Vamp sah. In den folgenden Jahrhunderten bannten Maler und Bildhauer ihrerseits das schreckliche Antlitz auf Leinwand oder in Stein - und gaben damit den dunklen Seiten der eigenen Existenz ein Gesicht. Die Romantiker stilisierten Medusa zur exotischen Femme fatale oder zur sinnlichen -Nymphe mit langem rotem Haar, Frauen sahen in ihr ein Opfer männlicher Gewalt. Heute ist das Medusenhaupt eines der Markenzeichen des Modehauses Versace. Der Schlangenkopf als niedliches Accessoire in luxuriösen Interieurs David Leeming folgt der schaurigen Schönen durch die Kulturgeschichte und fragt, was der grausame Mythos über uns erzählt und wie wir uns die Medusa der Gegenwart vorstellen - etwa als Darth Vader in Star Wars.Denn der Blick der Medusa fesselt bis heute.
