Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 'Metalepsis' is a term from classical rhetoric, but in the twentieth century, it was re-framed more broadly as a crossing of the boundaries that separate distinct narrative worlds. This modern notion of metalepsis, introduced by Gerard Genette, has so far largely been theorized on the basis of examples from post-modern novels and films. Yet metalepsis has a much greater potential to address all sorts of transgressions between 'worlds' or 'levels', not only inpost-modern but also pre-modern literature.This volume explores metalepsis in classical antiquity, considering questions such as: if metalepsis consists fundamentally in the breakingdown of barriers, what sort of barriers and what sort of transgressions can the concept be fruitfully applied to? Can it be used within approaches other than narratology? Does metalepsis require recognisable levels of reality and fictionality, and if so, what role might be played by other planes, such as the past, the mythical or the divine? What form does metalepsis take in less obviously 'narrative' genres, such as lyric poetry? And how should it be understood in visual media? Reflecting onthese questions sheds new light on important dynamics in ancient texts, and advances literary theory by probing how explorations of ancient metalepsis might change, refine, or extend our understandingof the concept itself. Examining phenomena from Greek and Latin literature through the lens of metalepsis, this volume sheds new light on central features and important dynamics in ancient texts, and advances literary theory by probing how explorations of ancient metalepsis might change, refine, or extend our understanding of the concept itself.

Hardback. Condition: New. This volume investigates an important and surprisingly widespread phenomenon in Latin literature, which has to date received little sustained discussion: the deliberate assumption of a weaker voice by speakers who in fact hold sufficient status not to be forced into this position. Though often associated with the markers of imperial hegemony and elite speech, Latin literature evinces a remarkably broad range of strategies designed to enable the adoption of a markedly disempowered voice- from topoi such as recusatio (professing a lack of ability to write in status-conforming, superior genres) and rhetorical devices such as prosopopoeia (artfully and strategically adopting a persona to garner favour, even when this means temporarily forfeiting one's higher status and discursive privileges), to the long-silenced female heroines of Ovid's Heroides and satire's irreverent take on the great and the good by framing its narratives as being articulated 'from below'. Even large-scale cultural self-positionings fall within this scope, be they expressions of Roman cultural inferiority vis-à-vis classical Greece or the tensions that arise between humble (yet spiritually superior) Christian writers and their grand, canonical, and classical (yet pagan) predecessors.The intersecting case studies offered in Complex Inferiorities examine this phenomenon in a wide range of genres, periods, and authors. By demonstrating that re-negotiating alleged weakness constitutes a central activity in Latin literature, this volume reveals the extent of the literary and cultural-political possibilities opened up by assuming and speaking in voices of weakness and inferiority. Authored by experts in their fields, the individual chapters explore the crucial role of the 'weaker voice' in establishing, perpetuating, and challenging hierarchies and values in a wide range of contexts- from poetics and choices of genre, to social status and intra- and intercultural relations- thereby offering invaluable insights not only for the study of classics, but for literary and cultural studies across the humanities.…

Condition: Neu. Theorie, Ästhetik und Übersetzung einer vergessenen Trope. Obwohl Metapher und Metonymie als fundamentale Ausdrucksformen poetischer Sprache gelten, hat die Metonymie von seiten der Stilistik und Literaturtheorie viel weniger Aufmerksamkeit erfahren als die Metapher. Die Studie schließt diese Forschungslücke und legt eine literarästhetische Theorie der Metonymie vor, die sie anhand konkreter literarischer Beispiele von Pindar bis Hölderlin entwickelt. Zunächst werden das funktionale Grundprinzip der Metonymie, ihre Varietäten, sprachliche Struktur, poetische Funktion und ästhetischen Effekte herausgearbeitet, bevor sich die Arbeit im zweiten Teil einer translatorischen Fragestellung zuwendet und Metonymien in literarischen Übersetzungen (Jenisch, Humboldt, Droysen, Wilamowitz-Möllendorff, Browning) analysiert. Die Auseinandersetzung mit den Paradoxien bisheriger Versuche der Theoriebildung erlaubt eine kritische Würdigung der Gewinne und Verluste, die mit der (post-)strukturalistischen Neufassung der Metonymie als einem universellen semiotischen Paradigma einhergehen. - Für die Arbeit erhielt der Autor den "Heidelberger Förderpreis für klassisch-philologische Theoriebildung" des Jahres 2013. 358 Seiten, Leinen (Bibliothek der klassischen Altertumswissenschaften. Neue Folge, 2. Reihe; Band 144/Universitätsverlag Winter 2016). Früher EUR 66,00. Gewicht: 701 g - Gebunden/Gebundene Ausgabe.…
