Postclassical Marble: Reclaiming Flux in the Reception of Marble in Contemporary Art
In this chapter, Maarten De Pourcq takes marble as his starting point for his inquiry into the reception of Greco-Roman antiquity. Concentrating on Kara Walker's installation Fons Americanus (2019), his chapter takes a materials-based postclassical stance, first, on the way in which white marble became a central element of the art-historical paradigm of classicism and, second, on the role played by white marble in contemporary artworks that quest…
Modeling Conflict: Representations of Social Groups in Present-Day Dutch Literature
This essay responds to a lack of scholarly attention for conflict as a narrative mechanism since the formalist models of Vladimir Propp and Algirdas Julien Greimas. Building on recent developments within cultural analytics, the essay argues for a new understanding of narrative conflict by integrating classic narratological models with data-driven, statistical methods. It does so by (a) proposing two computational models of conflict based on theor…

Writing Biography in Greece and Rome: Narrative Technique and Fictionalization
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…
Classical Reception Studies: Reconceptualizing the Study of the Classical Tradition
The heritage of Greco-Roman antiquity is still deemed among the most powerful transcultural and transhistorical archives of the contemporary world. The various meanings which this ancient material has taken on in later contexts, both ancient and modern, is central to a research field that is nowadays called ‘classical reception studies’.\n \nMy paper examines the genealogy of this name by focussing on its different components: ‘classical’, ‘recep…
The Paideia of the Greeks: On the Methodology of Roland Barthes's Comment vivre ensemble1.Thanks to Diana Knight, Miriam Leonard, Anneleen Masschelein, Judith Mossman and Luc Van der Stockt for their …
When Barthes starts to conceptualize his courses at the Collège de France, he envisions a methodology which he actually considers to be an 'anti-method', that is to say, an 'unscientific' method which goes against the grain of traditional education. He pursues the method of his seminars at the École Pratique des Hautes Etudes, especially the seminar that ended up with the publication of A Lover's Discourse. In the conclusion to the seminar, Barth…
