Although Antiquity itself has been intensively researched, together
with its reception, to date this has largely happened in a
compartmentalized fashion. This series presents for the first time
an interdisciplinary contextualization of the productive
acquisitions and transformations of the arts and sciences of
Antiquity in the slow process of the European societies
constructing a scientific system and their own cultural identity, a
process which started in the Middle Ages and has continued up to
the Modern Age. The series is a product of work in the
Collaborative Research Centre "Transformations of Antiquity" and
the "August Boeckh Centre of Antiquity" at the Humboldt University
of Berlin. Their individual projects examine transformational
processes on three levels in particular - the constitutive function
of Antiquity in the formation of the European knowledge society,
the role of Antiquity in the genesis of modern cultural identities
and self-constructions, and the forms of reception in art,
literature, translation and media.
