DJ has very light shelfwear. ; Although numerous scholars have studied Late Republican humor, this is the first book to examine its social and political context. Anthony Corbeill maintains that political abuse exercised real powers of persuasion over Roman audiences and he demonstrates how public humor both creates and enforces a society's norms. Previous scholarship has offered two explanations for why abusive language proliferated in Roman oratory. The first asserts that public rhetoric, filled with extravagant lies, was unconstrained by strictures of propriety. The second contends that invective represents an artifice borrowed from the Greeks. After a fresh reading of all extant literary works from the period, Corbeill concludes that the topics exploited in political invective arise from biases already present in Roman society. The author assesses evidence outside political discourse--from prayer ritual to philosophical speculation to physiognomic texts--in order to locate independently the biases in Roman society that enabled an orator's jokes to persuade. Within each instance of abusive humor--a name pun, for example, or the mockery of a physical deformity--resided values and preconceptions that were essential to the way a Roman citizen of the Late Republic defined himself in relation to his community. ; 280 pages.

Ansonsten im einwandfreien Zustand. / Conditio: Lightly soiled as well as minimally scuffed dust jacket. Otherwise in perfect condition. - Content: This book began as a dissertation written for the Department of Classics at the University of California, Berkeley, under the direction of William S. Anderson, Erich Gruen, and Thomas Habinek. While at Berkeley I also benefited from discussions with Andrew Kelly, Annie Thrower, and Florence Verducci. Financial support for the final year of thesis writing was provided by a Charlotte W. Newcombe Dissertation Fellowship (Woodrow Wilson Foundation); occasional lunches and a stimulating exchange of ideas were supplied during that same year by a fellowship from the Townsend Center for the Humanities at Berkeley. I would like to thank both institutions for their generosity and support. After completing my dissertation, a fellowship from the American Philological Association, sponsored jointly by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Packard Foundation, introduced me to the rigors of philology as practiced at the Thesaurus linguae Latinae in Munich. Cornelis van Leijenhorst, my editor and friend in Germany, provided a special source of encouragement and expertise. I can only hope to have brought back with me to America at least a small portion of what I learned from my colleagues at the Thesaurus. Back in the United States, the Graduate Research Fund at the University of Kansas provided generous financial support for revisions and additions made during the summers of 1992 and 1993. While I was preparing the manuscript for publication the following friends and colleagues read and commented at different stages on various parts: Anastasios Daskalopoulos, Judith Hallett, Peter Holliday, Karl Kirchwey, L. R. Lind, Stanley Lombardo, Andrew Riggsby, and Marilyn Skinner. I appreciate the time and suggestions of all and extend a separate thanks to Linda Montgomery for relief and to Craig Voorhees for hours worth of challenges. Two anonymous readers for the press also provided helpful suggestions. Final revisions of the manuscript were made during part of a nine-month stay at the American Academy in Rome in 1994/95, where I had the incomparable privilege of holding a Rome Prize funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. My time in Rome benefited especially from conversations with, and encouragement from, Malcolm Bell III, John Clarke, and Nicholas Horsfall. Four final expressions of gratitude: to Amy Richlin, for improving much of this bookif it is not better, that is because I have obstinately and perhaps unwisely stood by my own ideas; to Erich Gruen, a model as both a scholar and a teacher, who somehow seems always to have time for his students even after they are long gone; to Arthur Riss, who was present from the moment the idea for this project appeared in a Berkeley cafe through all the painful steps of writing and revision; and to Babette Crowder, for special support.

A Roman worshipper spins in a circle in front of a temple. Faced with death, a Roman woman tears her hair and beats her breasts. Enthusiastic spectators at a gladiatorial event gesticulate with thumbs. Examining the tantalizing glimpses of ancient bodies offered by surviving Roman sculptures, paintings, and literary texts, Anthony Corbeill analyzes the role of gesture in medical and religious ritual, in the gladiatorial arena, in mourning practice, in aristocratic competition of the late Republic, and in the court of the emperor Tiberius. Adopting approaches from anthropology, gender studies, and ecological theory, Nature Embodied offers both a series of case studies and an overarching narrative of the role and meanings of gesture in ancient Rome. -- Arguing that bodily movement grew out of the relationship between Romans and their natural, social, and spiritual environment, the book explores the ways in which an originally harmonious relationship between nature and the body was manipulated as Rome became socially and politically complex. By the time that Tacitus was writing about the reign of Tiberius, the emergence of a new political order had prompted an increasingly inscrutable equation between truth and the bodyand something vital in the once harmonizing relationship between bodies and the world beyond them had been lost. -- Nature Embodied makes an important contribution to an expanding field of research by offering a new theoretical model for the study of gesture in classical times.
