Memories of the Classical Underworld in Irish and Caribbean Literature

About this book

Im Kontext der kulturwissenschaftlichen GedĂ€chtnisforschung widmet sich diese interdisziplinĂ€r ausgerichtete Reihe dem VerhĂ€ltnis von Medien und kultureller Erinnerung. Die hier vorgestellten Studien behandeln die ganze Bandbreite der durch Medien konstruierten, tradierten und verbreiteten Erinnerung. Schrift und Bild, das Kino und die 'neuen' digitalen Medien, IntermedialitĂ€t, TransmedialitĂ€t und Remediation sowie die sozialen, zunehmend transnationalen und transkulturellen, Kontexte der mediatisierten Erinnerung gehören zu den Forschungsinteressen der Reihe. Ziel ist es, eine internationale Plattform fĂŒr die interdisziplinĂ€re Medien- und GedĂ€chtnisforschung zu schaffen. Eingereichte Manuskripte werden im peer review Verfahren durch externe Experten begutachtet.

Notes

1
For a discussion of the terminological debate over the terms and schools of ‘classical reception’ and ‘the classical tradition’, see the beginning of the second chapter.
2
I am not suggesting here that the case studies that have been compiled are ‘complete’ or comprehensive – as far as that is even possible with such a wide-ranging reception history as that of classical antiquity. The focus on Anglophone classical reception at the detriment of, for instance, Hispanic reception has been identified and discussed by scholars like Konstantinos P. Nikoloutsos (cf. ‘Seneca in Cuba: Gender, Race, and the Revolution in JosĂ© Triana’s Medea en el espejo’, Romance Quarterly 59.1 (2012), 19 – 35 (p. 19)), and there are many other reception contexts that tend to be overlooked in favour of others.

Cf. Mathias Berek, Kollektives GedĂ€chtnis, p. 37. Original: ‘Kultur entfaltet sich als ein menschliches Wirken, das immer zwischen den Polen Tradition und Innovation, zwischen reproduzierenden und kreativen KrĂ€ften oszilliert und dabei ein dynamisches Gleichgewicht zwischen diesen herstellt’. Berek is here referencing Ernst Cassirer, Versuch ĂŒber den Menschen. EinfĂŒhrung in eine Philosophie der Kultur (Hamburg: Meiner 1996 (1990)), pp. 339 – 346.
