Although Roman provincial art is often portrayed as a poor copy of works created in the imperial capital, this volume's contributors offer new interpretations of provincial mosaics, wall-paintings, statues and jewelry. They express what these art works reveal about the nature of life under an imperial regime. Broad geographical and chronological coverage allows unique insights into the social and political significance of visual expression across the Roman Empire.
A new collection of essays highlighting the wide range of Buber's
thought, career, and activism. Best known for I and Thou, which
laid out his distinction between dialogic and monologic relations,
Martin Buber (1878–1965) was also an anthologist, translator, and
author of some seven hundred books and papers. Martin Buber:
Creaturely Life and Social Form, edited by Sarah Scott, is a
collection of nine essays that explore his thought and career.
Martin Buber: Creaturely Life and Social Form shakes up the legend
of Buber by decentering the importance of the I-Thou dialogue in
order to highlight Buber as a thinker preoccupied by the image of
relationship as a guide to spiritual, social, and political change.
The result is a different Buber than has hitherto been portrayed,
one that is characterized primarily by aesthetics and politics
rather than by epistemology or theology. Martin Buber: Creaturely
Life and Social Form will serve as a guide to the entirety of
Buber's thinking, career, and activism, placing his work in context
and showing both the evolution of his thought and the extent to
which he remained driven by a persistent set of concerns.
