Softcover. Condizione: Fine. For better or worse, the ancient Greeks retain their cultural, political, and philosophical authority for contemporary educators and actors. Maureen Dowd has talked about the Hellenization of the Bush administration, Thucydides has been used as a template to analyze the Iraqi War and the War on Terror, Greek drama has been repeatedly performed in sometimes spectacular if unconventional ways, while the Trojan War, the battle of Thermopylae, the Spartans, and Alexander have all been the subjects of recent films. Last year the New York Times carried a front page story about "conservatives" taking a "new tack" by establishing "beachheads" for programs in Western Civilization and American Institutions in which the ancient Greeks hold pride of place. The contributors to When Worlds Elide are also invested in having Greek philosophy, literature, and political theory taken seriously in contemporary debates-whether over modes of interpreting Plato, Athenian democracy, gender, ethnicity, or materiality. What distinguishes this book is the substantive range of the essays in it and the generative potentialities of "using" ancient authors and events in analyzing these debates. It begins from the premise that "the Greeks" (like "the French" or "the Chinese") obscures the contested histories of ethnic, geographic, and political formations in favor of an idealized dehistoricized collectivity. The also book also illustrates the ways in which ancient texts must be understood within the history of interpretative practices, which means that "the Greeks" are more a moving target than a stable entity, and that each generation of interlocutors formulates continually transforming questions, readings, and arguments. Finally, this book supposes that an interrogation of "the Greek legacy" depends on interdisciplinary work where interdisciplinarity functions as a verb-that is, something that is always in the process of being achieved.; Greek Studies: Interdisciplinary Approaches; 152.4 X 0.99 X 9 inches; 490 pages.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a largely unexplored aspect of the American Civil War ââ â the experiences of Confederate prisoners of war held at Elmira Prison Camp in New York. The author, drawing on firsthand accounts from both Confederate prisoners and Union officers, meticulously reconstructs the daily realities of life within the camp, dispelling long-held myths and offering a balanced perspective. The narrative explores the challenges posed by harsh weather, inadequate resources, and rampant disease, while also highlighting instances of compassion and human connection that transcended the divisions of war. The author delves into the complexities of captivity, examining the psychological toll of isolation, the yearning for home, and the struggle to maintain dignity amidst adversity. The book also sheds light on the administrative decisions and political climate that shaped the treatment of prisoners on both sides of the conflict. Through vivid descriptions and poignant anecdotes, this book offers a profound reflection on the human cost of war and the enduring power of resilience in the face of suffering. The insights gleaned from Elmira's story serve as a timeless reminder of our shared humanity and the importance of empathy, even amidst the darkest chapters of history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
