The Deifications of Ino in Ovid’s Fasti and Metamorphoses
In both the Metamorphoses and Fasti Ovid narrates the deification of Ino and her son Melicertes. In the Metamorphoses they become the Greek deities Leucothoe and Palaemon, while in the Fasti they also are identified with the Roman gods Mater Matuta and Portunus. Reading the two Ino passages together brings out the different focus of the Fasti on Roman religious aetiology, but also brings out the poems’ shared interest in deification, and specific…
Neo-colonial urbanism in three intermediate Argentinean cities
The paper analyses three neighbourhoods in intermediate cities in Argentina to explore how colonial past persists and urban commons are challenged by neo-colonial dynamics of capitalism. Focusing on three neighbourhoods – Güemes in Córdoba, Toba in Resistencia and La República in San Luis – it explores how communal life is shaped by multiple competing stakeholders. Global trends of valorization, beautification, patrimonialisation, and disciplinin…
Debates para construir una comunicación sin desarrollo
El presente artículo propone un debate en torno a la comunicación y el desarrollo, especialmente problematizando sus relaciones conceptuales e históricas. El escrito se basa en una investigación doctoral concluida en 2022 que supuso una reconstrucción teórica y en profundidad de las doctrinas del desarrollo y sus debates en el campo de la comunicación. Desde esa tarea, el texto tensiona las lógicas del desarrollo con la comunicación humana: el pr…
Ancient Roman Literary Gardens: Gender, Genre, and Geopoetics
This book offers the first full and in-depth study of the representation of gardens in Latin Literature. Through close readings of the major Latin texts, primarily of the first centuries BCE and CE, it examines the function of garden descriptions in terms of their generic and literary codes and models, their gender constructions, and the ways in which garden descriptions function within the narrative structures of texts and reflect metapoetically…
Desarrollo, infraestructura urbana y ordenamiento clasista en la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina)
El artículo aborda la relación entre desarrollo e infraestructuras en un área de la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina) denominada Quinta Sección. Desde un ejercicio de crítica ideológica, se analizan tres intervenciones inauguradas durante 2018 y 2019, orientadas a lograr circulación rápida, seguridad urbana e inclusión social. El abordaje presenta discusiones conceptuales en torno a las ideas de desarrollo, ideología y ciudad; y analiza las infraestr…
Gender and Sexuality
Gender issues are deeply implicated in many, if not all, aspects of Catullus’ poetry: sexual invective, politics, persona theory, the character of Lesbia, poetics and intertextuality, and the representation of social relations. In fact, isolating such concerns and approaches within a chapter is somewhat misleading. One of the central contributions of feminist and gender studies is the insight that Roman discourses about sexual behaviour and gende…
The Culex ’s Metapoetic Funerary Garden
The Culex is now widely recognized as a piece of post-Ovidian, possibly Tiberian, pseudo-juvenilia written by an author impersonating the young Virgil, although it was attached to Virgil's name already in the first century c.e. , being identified as Virgilian by Statius, Suetonius and Martial. Dedicated to the young Octavian ( Octaui in line 1), the poem seems to fill a biographical gap in Virgil's career before his composition of the Eclogues . …
Capitalismo, refundación y conflicto. La disputa por el espacio-tiempo urbano en Córdoba, Argentina
En el presente artículo analizaremos las dinámicas de la disputa por el espacio-tiempo urbano en la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. Para ello estudiamos el caso de dos barrios lindantes con la zona céntrica de la ciudad: Alberdi y San Vicente. Unidos ambos por ser lugares históricos, con diversidad étnica, social y económica; estos territorios están actualmente en una disputa por la definición de las modalidades y actores que pueden vivir en ellos.…
Ovid, Epistulae Ex Ponto 4.8, Germanicus, and the Fasti
In Epistulae ex Ponto 4.8, one of the last poems written from exile (dated to 15 or 16 c.e. ), Ovid expresses his increasing hopes for Germanicus' assistance in effecting his recall to Rome. Though ostensibly addressed to his stepdaughter's father-in-law, P. Suillius Rufus, the poem contains a petition to Germanicus (27–88), as a poet to a poet, which promises future commemoration in Ovid's poetry if he is removed from Tomis: clausaque si misero …

Catullus: Poems, Books, Readers
In this book, a sequel to Traditions and Contexts in the Poetry of Horace (Cambridge University Press, 2002), ten leading Latin scholars provide specially commissioned in-depth discussions of the poetry of Catullus, one of ancient Rome's most favourite and best loved poets. Some chapters focus on the collection as a whole and the interrelationship of various poems; others deal with intertextuality and translation and Catullus' response to his Gre…
Ovid
All of Ovid’s poetry bears the hallmarks of his distinctive style: humor, wit (often expressed through word play), great literary learning displayed with a light touch, self-awareness and literary self-consciousness (often characterized as irony), and a profound interest in the human condition. His extensive and varied poetic career exhibits his ability to innovate and manipulate the conventions and content of a range of literary genres, mainly t…
Docta Otia: Garden Ownership and Configurations of Leisure in Statius and Pliny the Younger
It is in the works of Statius and Pliny the Younger that we find some of the first full-scale literary descriptions of villas and their gardens. In the Silvae, Statius includes a number of encomiastic poems describing the extravagant private estates owned by his patrons (1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 2.2, 2.3, and 3.1), while Pliny composed two of his longest letters on two of his own estates (Epistles 2.17, 5.6). Both authors use these descriptions of extensiv…

The Poet and the Procuress: The Lena in Latin Love Elegy
This paper investigates the figure of the lena in the elegies of Tibullus (I.5; II.6), Propertius (IV.5), and Ovid (Amores I.8). While each poet treats the character of the lena in importantly different ways, each has in common a deep interest in contrasting his own position as both lover and poet with the activities of the lena, a bawd or procuress. All three poets curse the lena, denouncing primarily her malevolent magical powers, her carmina, …
Word from New Spain: The Spiritual Autobiography of Madre Maria de San Jose (1656-1719)
This is the account of the social and spiritual difficulties of an aspirant nun in Mexico at the end of the seventeenth century. In an extensive introduction, Myers discusses the chronology and provenance of Madre Maria's manuscript and gives biographical details of her life; surveys literary aspects of the text; and, seeks to show the socio-historical value of the striking scenes of family life which the text offers. Notes and guidance are given…
