The Lived Ancient Religion project has radically changed
perspectives on ancient religions and their supposedly personal or
public character. This volume applies and further develops these
methodological tools, new perspectives and new questions. The
religious transformations of the Roman Imperial period appear in
new light and more nuances by comparative confrontation and the
integration of many disciplines. The contributions are written by
specialists from a variety of disciplinary contexts (Jewish
Studies, Theology, Classics, Early Christian Studies) dealing with
the history of religion of the Mediterranean, West-Asian, and
European area from the (late) Hellenistic period to the (early)
Middle Ages and shaped by their intensive exchange. From the point
of view of their respective fields of research, the contributors
engage with discourses on agency, embodiment, appropriation and
experience. They present innovative research in four fields also of
theoretical debate, which are "Experiencing the Religious",
"Switching the Code", "A Thing Called Body" and "Commemorating the
Moment".
This volume presents a first comprehensive contribution to the
exploration of the concept of the 'home front' in Greek and Roman
Antiquity. It crosses borders between different areas of classical
studies by investigating the various forms of impact that war had
on the ancient home front.To this end, the book deploys a variety
of methodological approaches that shed light on several aspects of
the home front. These draw on advances made in the fields of
psychology, literature, history, social sciences and religious
studies. The volume discusses the impact of war on the civilian
communities in terms of its effects above all on the level of the
social and religious sphere.
