Ancient worlds in film and television : gender and politics /
:
More than a century ago, filmmakers made their primary focus innovative and widely promulgated visions of antiquity, creating a profound effect on the critical, popular, and scholarly reception of antiquity. In this volume, scholars from a variety of countries and varying academic disciplines have addressed film's way of using the field of Classical Reception to investigate, contemplate, and develop hypotheses about present-day culture, society, and politics, with a particular emphasis on gender and gender roles, their relationship to one another, and how filmic constructions of masculinity and femininity shape and are shaped by interacting economic, political, and ideological practices.

26 Years a Slave : Juan Miranda and Other "Spanish Negroes" in Colonial New York /
:
26 Years a Slave represents the inaugural book-length study of the little-known "Spanish Negroes," or non-white Spanish-speaking sailors enslaved in colonial North America. Bringing to light their history of slavery and resistance, the book tells the incredible story of the free-born Juan Miranda. Enslaved in New York, Miranda fights an arduous legal battle to win his freedom. His attorney, William Kempe, makes a strong case for his rights and against slavery based on skin color. This well-illustrated account touches on legal history, the War of Jenkins' Ear, and the so-called "Slave Plot" of 1741. 26 Years a Slave is not just a translation of the critically acclaimed publication 26 años de esclavitud but a revised enriched version, containing a selection of additional study cases. The original Spanish edition of this book received the following awards: Willi Paul Adams Award , Organization of American Historians , Bloomington, Indiana, USA (2023) Best Academic Themed Book , The 24th International Latino Book Awards , Gold medal, Los Angeles, USA (2022) The Victor Villaseñor Best Latino Focused Nonfiction Book Award - Spanish or Bilingua, The 24th International Latino Book Awards , Silver medal, Los Angeles, USA (2022) Best Biography - Spanish or Bilingual , The 24th International Latino Book Awards , Silver medal, Los Angeles, USA (2022)

Our mythical childhood ... : the classics and literature for children and young adults /
:
This volume offers a survey of the reception of Classical Antiquity in the literature for youngsters by applying regional perspectives from East-Central and Western Europe, Africa, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, and the United States. The title Our Mythical Childhood hints at the elusive and paradoxical potential of the ancient tradition that is both a fixed base shared by many people worldwide since their early life as well as a body of references constantly being reinterpreted in response to local challenges. The reader is given a deeper insight into the processes shaping children's and young adults' identities and their cultural formation. The volume fills an important gap in the scholarship and contributes to the development of Reception Studies in innovative and attractive directions.

"Le site monastique de Baouît en Moyenne-⁹gypte fait l'objet depuis 2003 de fouilles arcȟologiques, meňes conjointement par l'Ifao et le muše du Louvre. Š'tendant de la ̌priode byzantine ayant přčď la Conqůte aux premiers sïcles de ľ'poque arabe, il sert plus largement de ř̌frence dans la řgion du Bassin ̌mditerraňen. Des jourňes ď'tude organišes en juin 2018 onť ť l'occasion de faire le point sur l'activiť arcȟologique řcente in situ et sur la recherche foisonnante susciťe aup̈rs des chercheurs et universitaires au plan international. La publication des actes en deux parties, arcȟologie et textes, met en regard les premiers řsultats des campagnes de terrain sur une ďcennie et les travaux actuels meňs en paral̈lle dans le champ papyrologiquẻ travers de nombreuses collections. Les dix-sept articles řunis dans ce volume přsentent les řsultats de recherches řcentes et iňdites, traiťes par dif̌frents špcialistes qui le plus souvent publient špařment. L'originaliť de cet ouvrage est de les řunir dans une approche pluridisciplinaire, permettant aussi de nourrir une řflexion ̌mthodologique sur l'apport et, parfois, les limites de la combinaison des sources.
