Sommario/riassunto

Antiochia am Orontes gehörte neben Rom, Konstantinopel und Alexandria zu den größten Metropolen der hellenistisch-römischen Welt. Unser Bild dieser Stadt wird im wesentlichen von den Berichten



antiker Autoren geprägt. Gemessen an der überaus reichen schriftlichen Überlieferung ist die spätantike Stadt archäologisch dagegen weitgehend gestaltlos geblieben. Dennoch beginnt sich abzuzeichnen, dass das spätantike Antiochia nicht die heile Mustersiedlung gewesen ist, als die sie viele Schriftsteller zeichnen, sondern eine Metropole, die im Gefolge von militärischen Zerstörungen und Erdbeben, aber auch von demographischem und wirtschaftlichem Wandel seit dem 4. Jh. n.Chr. einschneidende Stadtumbauten erlebte. Nach einer Katastrophenserie in justinianischer Zeit, die das alte Antiochia weitgehend auslöschte, hatte sich die Stadt letztmalig den Problemen eines vollständigen Wiederaufbaus zu stellen.

Our image of Antioch on the Orontes, a metropolis of the Roman world, is largely shaped by the reports of ancient authors. By comparison, the archeological image of the city of late antiquity has remained essentially invisible. It has become apparent over time that the city underwent radical reconstruction beginning from the 4th century as the result of pillage and natural disasters as well as demographic and economic change.

Sommario/riassunto

What’s Queer about Europe? examines how queer theory helps us initiate disorienting conjunctions and counterintuitive encounters for imagining historical and contemporary Europe. This book queers Europe and Europeanizes queer, forcing a reconsideration of both. Its contributors study Europe relationally, asking not so much what Europe is but what we do when we attempt to define it. The topics discussed include: gay marriage in Renaissance Rome, Russian anarchism and gender politics in early-twentieth-century Switzerland, colonialism and sexuality in Italy, queer masculinities in European popular culture, queer national identities in French cinema, and gender theories and activism. What these apparently disparate topics have in common is the urgency of the political, legal, and cultural issues they tackle. Asking what is queer about Europe means probing the blind spots that continue to structure the long and discrepant process of Europeanization.
