Playing with Character
Characterization refers to the process of attributing character traits to narrative entities called ‘characters'. While there is a long tradition of characterization theory in literary studies, the topic has not been examined extensively in game research. Based on insights from literary, film, and game studies, this article creates a theoretical model of how ‘character,' or character traits, can be attributed in video games, and offers a methodol…
Epigrams on Authors and Books as Text and Paratext
Chapter 5 focuses on marginal texts in manuscripts that have (mainly) authors and their work as their subject (‘book epigrams’). The chapter examines their paratextual status as pieces dependent on and ancillary to a main text, which they present to the readers, shaping and influencing their expectations and reading by offering them explanation, interpretation, and advice on how to read. This status, it is argued, should be taken into account in …
Writing Biography in Greece and Rome
Ancient biography is now a well-established and popular field of study among classicists as well as many scholars of literature and history more generally. In particular biographies offer important insights into the dynamics underlying ancient performance of the self and social behaviour, issues currently of crucial importance in classical studies. They also raise complex issues of narrativity and fictionalization. This volume examines a range of…
Literature and poetry, Byzantine
Byzantine (i.e., medieval Greek) literature is in many respects a continuation of the literature from the Second Sophistic and Late Antiquity.
Literacy, Byzantine
Byzantium is commonly regarded as a profoundly literate society, whatever definition one accepts for literacy.

Bakhtin's Theory of the Literary Chronotope
This edited volume is the first scholarly tome exclusively dedicated to Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of the literary chronotope. This concept, initially developed in the 1930s and used as a frame of reference throughout Bakhtin's own writings, has been highly influential in literary studies. After an extensive introduction that serves as a 'state of the art', the volume is divided into four main parts: Philosophical Reflections, Relevance of the Chro…

A Paradigm for the Analysis of Paradigms
This article describes the paradeigrrm / exemplum from a historical point of view, as it is treated in (primarily Greek) rhetorical theories from Aristotle up to the sixth century AD. The description focuses on four main features of the paradigm: its functions (argument or ornament), the modes of reasoning implied in its use (analogical or inductive), its subject matter, and its literary form. The elassifieation of these aspeets is meant to serve…
Pagan and Biblical Exempla in Gregory Nazianzen. A Study in Rhetoric and Hermeneutica
The Date of the Cyzicene Epigrams. An Analysis of the Vocabulary and Metrical Technique of AP III
L'analyse lexicale et métrique a pour but de dater ces épigrammes anonymes. Des parallèles avec des auteurs datés et des formes seulement attestées à partir du sixième siècle de notre ère suggèrent une époque tardive. Cette hypothèse est confirmée de manière convaincante par la structure des versets, ressemblant à celle de Nonnos (p. ex. influence de l'accent tonique), et par la prosodie négligée. Les épigrammes doivent être situées au plus tôt a…
