Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Late antiquity has experienced substantial rediscovery in recent years, which is consistent with the growing interest in the arts and history of the Mediterranean during a pivotal juncture in the Roman Empire's history. Despite this, late antiquity—as the name implies—is still frequently viewed as an adjunct to classical culture and is understood in light of its legacy, which establishes the default aesthetic standard. By putting late Antiquity at the center of investigation and discussing how it was used to form the backdrop in literature, opera, theater, TV series, graphic novels, computer games, and film, this pro-seminar seeks to challenge such paradigms. By attempting the novel and fascinating task of interpreting classicism through the prism of late antiquity, late antiquity becomes a point of reference for peering both backward and forward at its reception and transformation in succeeding ages.
