Cultural memory is a framework which elucidates the relationship
between the past and the present: essentially, why, how, and with
what results certain pieces of information are remembered. This
volume brings together distinguished classicists from a variety of
sub-disciplines to explore cultural memory in the Roman Republic
and the Age of Augustus. It provides an excellent and accessible
starting point for readers who are new to the intersection between
cultural memory theory and ancient Rome, whilst also appealing to
the seasoned scholar. The chapters delve deep into memory theory,
going beyond the canonical texts of Jan Assmann and Pierre Nora and
pushing their terminology towards Basu's dispositifs, Roller's
intersignifications, Langlands' sites of exemplarity, and Erll's
horizons. This innovative framework enables a fresh analysis of
both fragmentary texts and archaeological phenomena not discussed
elsewhere.
