Gender, Domesticity, and the Age of Augustus

Gender, Domesticity, and the Age of Augustus

Kristina Milnor

Oxford University Press
2008
nidottu
The age of Augustus has long been recognized as a time when the Roman state put a new emphasis on `traditional' feminine domestic ideals, yet at the same time gave real public prominence to certain women in their roles as wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters. Kristina Milnor takes up a series of texts and their contexts in order to explore this paradox. Through an examination of authors such as Vitruvius, Livy, Valerius Maximus, Seneca the Elder, and Columella, she argues that female domesticity was both a principle and a problem for early imperial writers, as they sought to construct a new definition of who and what constituted Roman public life.

Graffiti and the Literary Landscape in Roman Pompeii

Graffiti and the Literary Landscape in Roman Pompeii

Kristina Milnor

Oxford University Press
2014
sidottu
In this volume, Milnor considers how the fragments of textual graffiti which survive on the walls of the Roman city of Pompeii reflect and refract the literary world from which they emerged. Focusing in particular on the writings which either refer to or quote canonical authors directly, Milnor uncovers the influence-- in diction, style, or structure--of elite Latin literature as the Pompeian graffiti show significant connections with familiar authors such as Ovid, Propertius, and Virgil. While previous scholarship has described these fragments as popular distortions of well-known texts, Milnor argues that they are important cultural products in their own right, since they are able to give us insight into how ordinary Romans responded to and sometimes rewrote works of canonical literature. Additionally, since graffiti are at once textual and material artefacts, they give us the opportunity to see how such writings gave meaning to, and were given meaning by, the ancient urban environment. Ultimately, the volume looks in detail at the role and nature of 'popular' literature in the early Roman Empire and the place of poetry in the Pompeian cityscape.

Memories of Asia Minor in Contemporary Greek Culture

Memories of Asia Minor in Contemporary Greek Culture

Kristina Gedgaudaite

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
sidottu
The Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) in Asia Minor and the Population Exchange that followed led to the forced displacement of more than 1.5 million people who became entangled in the nation-building processes of both Greece and Turkey. This book examines the memories that shaped Asia Minor refugee identity, focusing on the ways in which these memories continue to reverberate in contemporary Greek culture. It explores how memories of Asia Minor frame wider social debates, foster affective alliances, inform different notions of belonging and provide a toolkit for addressing contemporary concerns. Taking the reader across a wide range of cultural works—history textbooks, comics, theatre, documentary and fiction films, news footage and photography—the book shows how these works have become means for individuals and communities to contribute to the process of history-making. While keeping its focus on present-day Greece, Memories of Asia Minor joins wider global debates over contested pasts, legacies of war and refugeehood.

Minority Protection in Post-Apartheid South Africa

Minority Protection in Post-Apartheid South Africa

Kristin Henrard

Praeger Publishers Inc
2002
sidottu
Accommodation of population diversity is a vital issue for any multinational society. The legacy of Apartheid in South Africa complicates this effort considerably. Henrard introduces a theoretical framework regarding how to accommodate minority protection in the most appropriate way and analyzes the respective contributions of individual rights, minority rights, and the right to self-determination. Subsequent chapters examine the case study of post-apartheid South Africa and attempt to investigate its constitutional development. Henrard finds that provisions within the 1996 Constitution do acknowledge an interrelation between these three important factors; however, implementation of minority protection policy is often quite a different matter. In seeking appropriate means of minority protection, this study stresses inclusionism, integration, and the essential right to identity and real equality. While Henrard reviews and discusses the entire democratic transformation process in South Africa, she cautions that, because current developments are characterized by their unsettled nature, major transformation and flux, analysis of the implementation phase can be only indicative. The apartheid history does not in itself inhibit progressive stances on this important issue. Still, despite the promising nature of the 1996 Constitution, the picture that emerges in terms of policy development aimed at minority protection is ambivalent.

Re-Conceptualizing Underrepresented Racial Minority Entrepreneurs

Re-Conceptualizing Underrepresented Racial Minority Entrepreneurs

Rosanna Garcia; Ezekiel Bonillas; Kristin Burton

Now Publishers Inc
2023
nidottu
Re-conceptualizing Underrepresented Racial Minority Entrepreneurs gathers the voices of the Black American and Latino American entrepreneurs as collected by racial minority entrepreneurship scholars. The monograph has three primary goals: (1) provide a historical context of Underrepresented Racial Minority (URM) entrepreneurs - specifically Black American and Latino-Americans - illustrating their evolution, and contribution to the growth and development of the U.S. economy; (2) start a discussion of the U.S.-based racial minority entrepreneur that is unique from the immigrant entrepreneur; and (3) include in the academic discussion of the entrepreneur the voices of the URM entrepreneur as collected by the URM researcher. This monograph sets a definition of the racial minority entrepreneur, which is unique from the ethnic entrepreneur thus providing a new definition of the URM entrepreneur. The authors proceed to provide a historical overview of the distinct contributions URM entrepreneurs have made - specifically to the development of the U.S. and their present-day economic impact. Next, a systematic literature review identifies 66 empirical studies that focus on U.S.-based URM entrepreneurs. This literature review provides a qualitative analysis of URM entrepreneurs and offers suggestions for future research.

A fast-paced Civil War thriller about a woman who fought as a man.Kristina is a historical account of a young woman who emigrates from Sweden to Charleston, SC, disguised as a man. Upon landing in Charleston, August 1860, she retained her masculine disguise and was caught up in the War Between the States. She fought beside her friend and fellow immigrant, Kurt Petersson, in the Quaker artillery battery of the Army of North Virginia until her death on May 2nd, 1863 at the battle of Chancellorville. This unlikely heroine rivals Henry of The Red Badge Of Courage for personal struggles, doubts and finally courageous leadership. As General Stonewall Jackson said of Kristina as she lay dying beside her fallen friend, "I've never seen a braver man." Her dying protest, "I'm a woman," went unheeded. He thought she was delirious. He could not see that his gallant warrior was a woman who wanted to be loved, have a home and children like any normal woman of her day. Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind showed us the aristocratic Southern women. Kristina shows us the other Southern women who fought the war using whatever resources were available to them.
