e volume, dédié à Donald Lateiner pour l’ensemble de sa carrière académique, comprend dix-huit contributions assez hétéroclites. Celles-ci sont réparties suivant les deux axes de recherche principaux adoptés par Donald Lateiner au cours de sa carrière. Autrement dit, l’historiographie grecque ancienne et la paralinguistique dans la littérature antique, en particulier l'étude des comportements non verbaux. La première partie, « Ancient Greek historiography » réunit huit contributions centrées sur divers aspects des écrits d’Hérodote et de Thucydide : vocabulaire, conjugaison des verbes, études des comportements non verbaux et choix syntaxiques. La seconde partie, intitulée « Emotion and non verbal behavior », composée de dix articles, constitue un tribut direct à l'ouvrage de Donald Lateiner ˂i˃Sardonic Smile. Nonverbal Behavior in Homeric Epic˂/i˃, publié en 1995 (BMCR 1996.03.02).
Kinesis: The Ancient Depiction of Gesture, Motion, and Emotion analyzes the depiction of emotions, gestures, and nonverbal behaviors in ancient Greek and Roman texts, and considers the precise language depicting them. Individual contributors examine genres ranging from historiography and epic to tragedy, philosophy, and vase decoration. They explore evidence as disparate as Pliny's depiction of animal emotions, Plato's presentation of Aristophanes' hiccups, and Thucydides' use of verb tenses. Sophocles' deployment of silence is considered, as are Lucan's depiction of death and the speaking objects of the medieval Alexander Romance. Ancient authors' depictions of emotion, gesture, and nonverbal behavior are intrinsically relevant to psychological, social, and anthropological studies of the ancient world, and are perhaps even more important to those who study the texts themselves and try to understand them. The volume will be relevant to scholars studying Greek and Roman society and literature, as well as to those who study the imitation of ancient literature in later societies. Since jargon is avoided and all passages in ancient languages are translated, the volume will be suitable for students from the upper undergraduate level. Contributors in addition to the volume editors include Jeffrey Rusten, Rosaria Vignolo Munson, Hans-Peter Stahl, Carolyn Dewald, Rachel Kitzinger, Deborah Boedeker, Daniel P. Tompkins, John Marincola, Carolin Hahnemann, Ellen Finkelpearl, Hanna M. Roisman, Eliot Wirshbo, James V. Morrison, Bruce Heiden, Daniel B. Levine, and Brad L. Cook. No library descriptions found. |
