Sommario/riassunto

The Greek and Roman novels of Petronius, Apuleius, Longus, Heliodorus and others have been cherished for millennia, but never more so than now. The Cambridge Companion to the Greek and Roman Novel contains nineteen original essays by an international cast of experts in the field. The emphasis is upon the critical interpretation of the texts within historical settings, both in antiquity and in the later generations that have been and continue to be inspired by them. All the central issues of current scholarship are addressed: sexuality, cultural identity, class, religion, politics, narrative, style, readership and much more. Four sections cover cultural context of the novels, their contents,



literary form, and their reception in classical antiquity and beyond. Each chapter includes guidance on further reading. This collection will be essential for scholars and students, as well as for others who want an up-to-date, accessible introduction into this exhilarating material.

Sommario/riassunto

"This is an unusual study on architectural education in contemporary China where urban conditions, with torrential currents and contradictory palimpsests colliding into a soil of uncertainties, are being used as a live laboratory for studio teaching and classroom criticism. It reveals a dynamic thought experiment unfolding beneath a surface of iconic monuments or their dystopian reflections. Written by a new generation of scholars with international perspectives, it reveals a restless search through teaching: a pedagogic practice on the move." —



Professor Jianfei Zhu, Chair of East Asian Architecture, Newcastle University, United Kingdom "Richly documented and very well-argued, this volume presents the city of Suzhou through the critical lenses of an interdisciplinary pedagogical approach, bringing together interviews, oral history, art, typology, media studies, and criticism. Examining past, present and future, the volume serves methodologically as a pilot project for the analysis of other cities, not only in China, and paves the way for further innovative teaching frontiers." —Dr. Alberto Bologna, Professor in Architectural and Urban Design, Sapienza University of Rome "Focusing on the challenges educators face in fostering critical thinking, this book is a voyage into the complexities of teaching in architecture schools. On the one hand authors emphasize the significance of individual agency and autonomy in learning. On the other, the book empowers study subjects, by rejecting simplistic narratives and stereotypes about place and identity in Chinese urbanization." —Francesca Frassoldati, Professor in Architectural and Urban Design, Politecnico di Torino The book introduces innovative teaching practices and methods with a critical focus on understanding and interpreting Chinese cities as a rich context. It highlights the advantages of interdisciplinary teaching in creating new learning experiences for students. Additionally, the book provides thorough mapping of the applied methods across disciplines and offers deeper reflections on the emerging pedagogy.
