Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht bestoßen, berieben und kleine Randläsuren, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket slightly scuffed, rubbed and small marginal tears, otherwise very good condition. - By the end of the archaic period, Greek sanctuaries were bursting with dedications, including many that bore epigrams. This study views dedications comprehensively as sites of ritual efficacy, and in particular it recovers epigrams’ reflections of and contributions to that efficacy and restores them to an important place in the panorama of Greek religious practice. In order to reconstruct the archaic experience of reading and viewing, the book draws on studies of traditional poetic language as resonant with immanent meaning, early Greek poetry as socially and religiously effective performance, and viewing art as an active response of aesthetic appreciation. It argues that reading epigrams while viewing dedications generated effects of religious ritual and poetic performance, and that visual and verbal representation of the dedicator’s act of offering associated that rite with similar effects, thereby framing the experiences of readers and viewers as reperformances of the earlier occasion. / CONTENTS List of illustrations Preface List of abbreviations i (Re)presentation and (re)performance Questions about reception Straightforward representation A thesis: (re)presentation generates (re)performance The argument of the book Scholarly context Telesinos again 2 Contexts of encounters and the question of reading Did Greeks view dedications and read their inscriptions?

Dealer: Biblio, The Saint Bookstore
Description: Hardback. New. Archaic Greeks honored gods by offering dedications, often inscribed with epigrams. This book reconstructs ancient encounters with such dedications, arguing that, while the rite of offering was represented verbally and visually, reading and viewing produced effects of religious ritual. Epigram and dedication memorialized the dedicator's rite by generating its reperformance. ISBN 0521896304 9780521896306 [GB]
