Paperback. Condition: New. 1st. The collected essays in this volume focus on the presentation, representation and interpretation of ancient violence - from war to slavery, rape and murder - in the modern visual and performing arts, with special attention to videogames and dance as well as the more usual media of film, literature and theatre. Violence, fury and the dread that they provoke are factors that appear frequently in the ancient sources. The dark side of antiquity, so distant from the ideal of purity and harmony that the classical heritage until recently usually called forth, has repeatedly struck the imagination of artists, writers and scholars across ages and cultures.A global assembly of contributors, from Europe to Brazil and from the US to New Zealand, consider historical and mythical violence in Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus and the 2010 TV series of the same name, in Ridley Scott's Gladiator, in the work of Lars von Trier, and in Soviet ballet and the choreography of Martha Graham and Anita Berber. Representations of Roman warfare appear in videogames such as Ryse: Son of Rome and Total War, as well as recent comics, and examples from both these media are analysed in the volume. Finally, interviews with two artists offer insight into the ways in which practitioners understand and engage with the complex reception of these themes.

Paperback. Condition: New. To what extent did mythological figures such as Circe and Medea influence the representation of the powerful 'oriental' enchantress in modern Western art? What role did the ancient gods and heroes play in the construction of the imaginary worlds of the modern fantasy genre? What is the role of undead creatures like zombies and vampires in mythological films? Looking across the millennia, from the distrust of ancient magic and oriental cults, which threatened the new-born Christian religion, to the revival and adaptation of ancient myths and religion in the arts centuries later, this book offers an original analysis of the reception of ancient magic and the supernatural, across a wide variety of different media - from comics to film, from painting to opera. Working in a variety of fields across the globe, the authors of these essays deconstruct certain scholarly traditions by proposing original interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations, showing to what extent the visual and performing arts of different periods interlink and shape cultural and social identities.

Gr.-8°, Ppbd. VIII, 395 S., mit zahlr., teils farb. Abb. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Im Mittelpunkt des Sammelbandes steht die Frage nach der Bedeutung, die der schriftlichen Fixierung öffentlicher Botschaften wie privater Mitteilungen im öffentlichen Raum der Antike, Spätantike und Mittelalter zukam. Inschriften befanden sich - damals wie heute - auf Mauern und Wänden von Häusern und Tempeln, in Innenräumen von Kirchen, auf der Agora oder dem Forum, auf oder an öffentlich aufgestellten Bildwerken wie Statuen, Reliefs, Gemälden und Mosaiken. Die Gegenwart beschrifteter Objekte prägte und gestaltete den öffentlichen Raum, und selbst wenn die Inschriften nicht oder nur partiell gelesen wurden, so luden sie den Betrachter durch ihre oft extrem auffällige Präsenz doch zur Wahrnehmung und Interaktion ein. Durch den Versuch, die Artefakte in ihrem originären sozialen wie räumlichen Umfeld zu rekontextualisieren, eröffnen sich neue Deutungsperspektiven: Neben Beobachtungen zur konkreten Gestaltung des einzelnen Schriftzeugnisses gewinnen Fragen nach der räumlichen Beziehung zu benachbarten Monumenten, der Platzierung im öffentlichen Raum und der sich damit wandelnden Rezeptionsbedingungen an Bedeutung.
