The Emerging Contours of the Medium explores a crucial aspect of
media thinking, focusing particularly on the ‘mediality’ of
literature, a medium that remains today on the margins of the
theoretical discussion of media. Even though interest in the
technological and media aspects of literature has been slowly
building momentum in the past several decades, from comparative
perspectives to written culture to new media, the concept of the
medium has not informed this process, and its systematic
integration into literary studies has never been effectively
carried out. Nor has the specific mediality of literature been
successfully integrated into the general concept of media/lity in
media science. Contributors to this work provide both an
explanation of and solution to this mutual blindness, setting out
from the question: What are the conditions for elaborating a
media-theoretical framework in which to situate literature as a
medium? The Emerging Contours of the Medium, available for the
first time in English, is divided into three parts, which correlate
to the three main research areas of the principles for a media
theory of literature. Part I develops a perspective of the
(pre)history of media thinking, grounding the principles of the
genealogical integration. Part II concentrates on and develops the
related perspectives of media philosophy and media anthropology.
Part III’s main focus is the way media – as dispositifs
interlinking the parameters of perception and communication –
provide the ground for making emergent media phenomena visible,
whether it be between media (in their mutual synergy or
discrepancies), between media artefacts, or between human and
apparatus.

Public speech was a key aspect of politics in Republican Rome, both
in theory and in practice, and recent decades have seen a surge in
scholarly discussion of its significance and performance. Yet the
partial nature of the surviving evidence means that our
understanding of its workings is dominated by one man, whose texts
are the only examples to have survived in complete form since
antiquity: Cicero. This collection of essays aims to broaden our
conception of the oratory of the Roman Republic by exploring how it
was practiced by individuals other than Cicero, whether major
statesmen, jobbing lawyers, or, exceptionally, the wives of
politicians. It focuses particularly on the surviving fragments of
such oratory, with individual essays tackling the challenges posed
both by the partial and often unreliable nature of the evidence
about these other Roman orators-often known to us chiefly through
the tendentious observations of Cicero himself-and the complex
intersections of the written fragments and the oral phenomenon.
Collectively, the essays are concerned with the methods by which we
are able to reconstruct non-Ciceronian oratory and the exploration
of new ways of interpreting this evidence to tell us about the
content, context, and delivery of those speeches. They are arranged
into two thematic Parts, the first addressing questions of
reception, selection, and transmission, and the second those of
reconstruction, contextualization, and interpretation: together
they represent a comprehensive overview of the non-Ciceronian
speeches that will be of use to all ancient historians,
philologists, and literary classicists with an interest in the
oratory of the Roman Republic.
