A Second Gaze, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This volume is an exploration into the many layers of meaning in Roman texts and
images. In sixteen contributions, scholars from the fields of Classics and
Archaeology bring to bear the methodologies of their respective disciplines and
engage in a transdisciplinary endeavor to discover the manifold ways in which texts
and images transfer earlier manifestations of their respective subject to new
contexts and thereby create new meaning. The authors use and develop inherited
concepts of intertextuality, paratextuality, reframing, and visual studies to lay
bare mechanisms of perception and creativity. Taking the textual as well as the
visual world into account, the volume reaches beyond the traditional boundaries of
academic disciplines.
