Paperback. Condition: New. Focusing in turn on history, powerful individuals, under-represented voices and the arts, the essays in this collection cover a wide variety of modern and contemporary narrative fiction from Jo Walton and L. Sprague De Camp to T. S. Chaudhry and Catherynne M. Valente. Chapters look into the question of chance versus determinism in the unfolding of historical events, the role individuals play in shaping a society or occasion, and the way art and literature symbolise important messages in counterfactual histories. They also show how uchronic narratives can take advantage of modern literary techniques to reveal new and relevant aspects of the past, giving voices to marginalised minorities and suppressed individuals of the ancient world.Counterfactual fiction and uchronic narratives have been largely up until now the domain of literary critics. However, these modes of literature are here analysed by scholars of Ancient History, Egyptology and Classics, shedding important new light on how cultures of the ancient world have been (and still are) perceived, and to what extent our conceptions of the past are used to explore alternate presents and futures. Alternate history entices the imagination of the public by suggesting hypothetical scenarios that never occurred, underlining a latent tension between reality and imagination, and between determinism and contingency. This interest has resulted in a growing number of publications that gauge the impact of what-if narratives, and this one is the first to give scholars of the ancient world centre-stage. …

Gr.-8°, Brosch. XI, 265 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // In diesem Band versammelt Alberto J. Quiroga Puertas zwölf Aufsätze, die sich mit der Rolle und der Bedeutung der Rhetorik in Theologie, Literatur und Politik in der Spätantike, genauer im 4. Jahrhundert n. Chr., befassen. Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchungen ist die Annahme, dass religiöse, kulturelle und politische Diskussionen zu dieser Zeit auf dem Schauplatz der Rhetorik ausgefochten wurden. Demzufolge werden in diesem Band Aspekte diskutiert, die in Beziehung zur religiösen Orthodoxie und der Verurteilung der Ketzerei, zur spirituellen Weiterentwicklung, zur Gestaltung eines literarischen Werks oder zu den ideologischen Grundsätzen der rhetorischen Bildung in der Spätantike stehen. Autoren wie Themistios, Libanios, Augustinus, Evagrius, Firmicus oder Kaiser Julian nutzten in ihren Werken rhetorische Hilfsmittel und Strategien, um ihre Argumente zu bekräftigen. Das leicht veränderliche Wesen der Rhetorik förderte ihre Verwendung mit variablem Zweck: Sie konnte sowohl der Hermeneutik als auch der Überzeugungskunst oder der Exegese dienen.
