Sommario/riassunto

This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary collection explores different ways of visualising Greek and Roman epic from Homer to Statius, in both ancient and modern culture. The book presents new perspectives on Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Lucan, Valerius Flaccus and Statius, and covers the re-working of epic matter in tragedy, opera, film, late antique speeches of praise, story-boarding, sculpture and wall-painting. The chapters use a variety of methods to address the relationship between narrative and visuality, exploring how and why epic has inspired artists, authors and directors and offering fresh visual interpretations of epic texts. Themes and issues discussed include: intermediality, ekphrasis and panegyric, illusion and deception, imagery and deferral, alienation and involvement, the multiplicity of possible visual responses to texts, three-dimensionality, miniaturisation, epic as cultural capital, and the specificity of genres, both literary and visual.

Sommario/riassunto

Le plateau de l’Aubrac et ses contreforts ont été étudiés par une équipe pluridisciplinaire regroupant archéologues, historiens, ethnologues et environnementalistes. Il a ainsi été montré que cette région, en dépit d’une réputation de pays hostile à l’homme, recèle une richesse insoupçonnée et possède un gros potentiel archéologique, notamment pour les périodes médiévale et moderne. Une importante documentation écrite, ainsi qu’un conservatoire environnemental exceptionnel ont permis de définir les cadres spatiotemporels de cette recherche. Cet ouvrage montre également comment la Domerie d’Aubrac, ayant constitué d’immenses pâturages, a fossilisé l’habitat depuis le bas Moyen Âge. Il présente les formes de l’habitat agropastoral des XIe-XIIe siècles, qui est l’un des thèmes majeurs de cette étude, et permet d’appréhender une société rurale montagnarde médiévale au travers de sites d’exploitations agricoles permanents (mas) et temporaires (burons) se situant entre 1100 et 1300 m d’altitude.  The Aubrac plateau and its foothills have been studied by a multi-disciplinary team of archaeologists, historians, ethnologists and environmentalists. This research has shown that the region, despite its reputation as a hostile environment for humans, has a surprisingly rich archaeological potential. Numerous written documents and an exceptionally well preserved environment allowed the spatiotemporal framework of this research to be defined. This work shows how the Domerie (hospital) of Aubrac, which amassed numerous pasturelands, fossilized the habitat since the High Middle Ages. It presents the forms of agropastoral habitats that existed during the 11th to 13th centuries, which is one of the major themes of this study. Through the study of permanent (was) and temporary (buron) agricultural exploitation sites, located between 1100 and 1300 m altitude, it contributes to our knowledge of a rural mountain society during the Middle Ages.
