Travel Geography and Empire in Latin Poetry

Travel Geography and Empire in Latin Poetry

This volume considers representations of space and movement in sources ranging from Roman comedy to late antique verse exploring how poetry in the Roman world is fundamentally shaped by its relationship to travel within the geography of Rome’s far-reaching empire. The volume surveys Roman poetics of travel and geography in sources ranging from Plautus to Augustan poetry from the Flavians to Ausonius. The chapters offer a range of approaches to: the complex relationship between Latin poetry Roman identity imperialism and travel and geospatial narratives; and the diachronic and generic evolutions of poetic descriptions of space and mobility. In addition two chapters including the concluding one contextualize and respond to the volume’s discussion of poetry by looking at ways in which Romans not only write and read poems about travel and geography but also make writing and reading part of the experience of traveling as demonstrated in their epigraphic practices. The collection as a whole offers important insights into Roman poetics and into ancient notions of movement and geographical space. Travel Geography and Empire in Latin Poetry will be of interest to specialists in Latin poetry ancient travel and Latin epigraphy as well as to those studying travel writing geography imperialism and mobility in other periods.

How Does Disability Performance Travel? Access Art and Internationalization

How Does Disability Performance Travel? Access Art and Internationalization

This edited collection investigates the myriad ways in which disability performance travels in a globalized world. Disability arts festivals are growing in different parts of the world; theatre and dance companies with disabled artists are increasingly touring and collaborating with international partners. At the same time theatre spaces are often not accessible and the necessity of mobility excludes some disabled artists from being part of an international disability arts community. How does disability performance travel who does not travel – and why? What is the role of funding and producing structures disability arts festivals and networks around the world? How do the logics of international (co-)producing govern the way in which disability art is represented internationally? Who is excluded from being part of a touring theatre or dance company and how can festivals conferences and other agents of a growing disability culture create other forms of participation which are not limited to physical co-presence? This study will contextualize disability aesthetics arts media and culture in a global frame yet firmly rooted in its smaller national state and local community settings and will be of great interest to students and scholars in the field. | How Does Disability Performance Travel?

Translation and Transposition in the Early Modern Period Knowledge Literature Travel

Translation and Transposition in the Early Modern Period Knowledge Literature Travel

This volume makes an important contribution to the understanding of translation theory and practice in the Early Modern period focusing on the translation of knowledge literature and travel writing and examining discussions about the role of women and office of interpreter. Over the course of the Early Modern period there was a dramatic shift in the way that translation was conceptualised a change that would have repercussions far beyond the world of letters. At the beginning of the period translation was largely indistinguishable from other textual operations such as exegesis glossing paraphrase commentary or compilation and theorists did not yet think in terms of the binaries that would come to characterise modern translation theory. Just how and when this shift occurred in actual translation practice is one of the topics explored in this volume through a series of case studies offering snapshots of translational activity in different times and places. Overall the picture that emerges is of a translational practice that is still very flexible as source texts are creatively appropriated for new purposes whether pragmatic pedagogical or diversional across a range of genres from science and philosophy to literature travel writing and language teaching. This book will be of value to those interested in Early Modern history linguistics and translation studies. | Translation and Transposition in the Early Modern Period Knowledge Literature Travel

Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture

Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture

First published in 1983 Which Way is Up presents a selection of Bob Connell’s writings on three key issues of modern social analysis- sex and gender class and power and culture. The essays range from psychoanalysis and contemporary feminism to the role theory from the analysis of class and culture to the debate about intellectuals and the ‘new class’. In critically reviewing contemporary thought on these issues the author has developed a perspective centred on the analysis of social practice. Easy to read often witty the essays represent an attempt to shift social theory into the real world of the late twentieth century to go beyond the limits of orthodox sociology and radical dogmas to think through theoretical questions without losing touch with practical politics. This is a must read for students and scholars of sociology. | Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture
