In Juvenal's Global Awareness Osman Umurhan applies theories of
globalization to an investigation of Juvenal's articulation and
understanding of empire, imperialism and identity. Umurhan explains
how the increased interconnectivity between different localities,
ethnic and political, shapes Juvenal's view of Rome as in constant
flux and motion. Theoretical and sociological notions of
deterritorialization, time-space compression and the rhizome inform
the satirist's language of mobility and his construction of space
and place within second century Rome and its empire. The
circulation of people, goods and ideas generated by processes of
globalization facilitates Juvenal's negotiation of threats and
changes to Roman institutions that include a wide array of topics,
from representatios of the army and food to discussions of
cannibalism and language. Umurhan's analysis stresses that
Juvenalian satire itself is a rhizome in both function and form.
This study is designed for audiences interested in Juvenal, empire
and globalization under Rome.
