Lists and catalogues have been en vogue in philosophy, cultural,
media and literary studies for more than a decade. These
explorations of enumerative modes, however, have not yet had the
impact on classical scholarship that they deserve. While they
routinely take (a limited set of) ancient models as their starting
point, there is no comparably comprehensive study that focuses on
antiquity; conversely, studies on lists and catalogues in Classics
remain largely limited to individual texts, and - with some notable
exceptions - offer little in terms of explicit theorising. The
present volume is an attempt to close this gap and foster the
dialogue between the recent theoretical re-appraisal of enumerative
modes and scholarship on ancient cultures. The 16 contributions to
the volume juxtapose literary forms of enumeration with an
abundance of ancient non-, sub- or para-literary practices of
listing and cataloguing. In their different approaches to this vast
and heterogenous corpus, they offer a sense of the hermeneutic,
epistemic and methodological challenges with which the study of
enumeration is faced, and elucidate how pragmatics, materiality,
performativity and aesthetics are mediated in lists and catalogues.
