Receptions of Greek and Roman Antiquity in East Asia: Metaforms, cartea 13

Almut-Barbara Renger, Xin Fan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 noi 2018
Receptions of Greek and Roman Antiquity in East Asia is an interdisciplinary, collaborative, and global effort to examine the receptions of the Western Classical tradition in a cross-cultural context. The inclusion of modern East Asia in Classical reception studies not only allows scholars in the field to expand the scope of their scholarly inquiries but will also become a vital step toward transcending the meaning of Greco-Roman tradition into a common legacy for all of human society.

Recenzii

"This is the first major volume attempting to encompass classical receptions of all ages and genres in this region, and it manages to bring out interesting contours and tendencies that warrant further exploration. (...) All in all, this volume lays indispensable groundwork. Specialists, whether their interest be on Jesuit humanism in the East, views on Athenian democracy in communist China, or the uses of Greek mythology in Japanese comics, need to take a close look at this volume to acquire a sense of the wide range of work that has been done and the many possibilities for future research projects that could be built thereupon." - Akihiko Watanabe, in: Journal of Jesuit Studies 6, 2019.
"The editors of this volume have compiled a very impressive and groundbreaking collection of contributions dealing with the reception of classical (i.e., Greek and Roman) antiquity in various East Asian countries. So far, nothing comparable has been published which makes this first-ever attempt an even more significant, not to say pioneering, enterprise." - Franz Winter, University of Graz, in: Religious Studies Review, 46.3, 2020.
