The Greek City from Antiquity to Present: Historical Reality, Ideological Constr

Description: The Greek City from Antiquity to Present by K. Demoen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The case studies, written by historians, archaeologists and literary scholars, draw a varied image of the protean Greek city. They cover all periods of Greek civilisation and deal not only with the iconic cities of Athens and Constantinople, but also with Antioch, Jerusalem, Thessalonica and similar towns in Asia Minor, Crete and the Balkans. The Greek city is studied as a material reality, as an ideological construct and as the representational setting of literature. Recurrent themes and issues can be subsumed under the following oppositions: continuity/change, multiculturalism/ethnocentrism, metropolis/provincialism, communal identity/individuality. The essays are organised into three chronological groups, coinciding more or less with thematic and methodological units. The first part deals with the history and archaeology of ancient poleis. The second part covers the Byzantine and Ottoman periods; it includes two literary-rhetorical studies and three discussions of multicultural cities. The last part centres on the representation of Athens in 20th Century Greek literature. Details ISBN 9042909714 ISBN-13 9789042909717 Title The Greek City from Antiquity to Present Author K.
