The City of Philomelium and the Occasion of the Martyrdom of Polycarp
Christians in Philomelium played a crucial role in the formation of the Martyrdom of Polycarp . A survey of hitherto unexplored material and literary data indicates that Philomelium was a prominent Hellenistic-era settlement and Roman conventus city located on the main transanatolian route of communication. This historical picture problematizes previous depictions of Philomelium as an insignificant city and has ramifications for the compositional…
The Meanings of Early Christian Travel: A Critical Assessment of Historical Interpretations
The fact of early Christian travel is obvious, but the meaning of such non-discursive physical movement is less evident. As a result, early Christian travel has elicited diverse scholarly interpretations. This article assesses five methodological approaches to the meaning and impact of early Christian travel. These are labelled as missional (travel as heroic evangelism), political (travel as imperial triumph), social (travel as identity formation…
Proxenia as a Model for Early Christian Host-Leaders
To mitigate the costs and risks of travel, Greek communities utilized the formal social institution of proxenia. The honorific title of proxenos (“public host”) was bestowed upon someone in another community who provided travelers with hospitality services, such as physical accommodation, social access, and legal protections. This social institution of proxenia, similar to but more specific than ancient patronage or benefaction, offers a fruitful…
Phoebe, a Host of Christian Travelers: The Meaning of Προστάτις in Romans 16:2
In Rom 16:2, Paul refers to Phoebe in Cenchreae as “a patron [προστάτις] of many and of myself.” After considering the various proposals regarding the nature of Phoebe’s “patronage” toward Paul, I advance a hypothesis mentioned by Origen and some modern commentators in passing—that Phoebe was a προστάτις in that she provided hospitality services, such as accommodation and advocacy, to Paul and other Christian travelers. To support this interpreta…
Television, an Instrument for and a Mirror of Health and Health Services
This thematic issue of VIEW brings together articles that show how television has been an instrument for, as well as a mirror of, public service and specifically health services. Two approaches to this are featured and teased out. The first approach concerns health communication and campaigns, where information is diffused via television and strengthened or reinforced by visual and filmic means. The second concerns the structures that offer, mana…

Jazz and the Great Samba Debate, and Vice Versa
This paper will argue that jazz emerges as samba’s kindred foil in Brazilian popular music discourse of the 1940s and 1950s. Eager to underscore “blood” ties between idealized samba do morro and early blues and jazz, contributors to journals such as Diretrizes and Revista da Música Popular nonetheless tended to equate postwar bebop and big band with the menacing venality of the US music industry and the “vulgar” fandom to which it was associated.…
Replaying Carlitos: Chaplin, Latin American Film Comedy and the Paradigm of Imitation
In his landmark study Hybrid Cultures, Néstor García Canclini rejects originality and its opposite – imitation – as inadequate analytical paradigms for Latin American cultural practices. This paper argues for a reevaluation of the imitation paradigm, arguing that it should be understood neither as a synonym of colonial subordination (as García Canclini implies) nor, in Homi Bhabha's sense, as a dangerously ‘destabilizing’ sign of ‘partial presenc…
