Its discussion moves effortlessly from classic novels including Aldous Huxleys Brave New World, George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four and Margaret Atwoods Oryx and Crake, to blockbuster films such as Blade Runner, Armageddon and The Terminator. The author also takes into account religious doctrine, scientific research and the visual arts to create a penetrating, multi-disciplinary study that provides profound insight into one of Western cultures darkest and most enduring preoccupations.End of the worldApocalypse in artApocalypse in literatureApocalypse in motion picturesliteratureoryx and crakemargaret atwoodcultural studiesdouglas adamsterminatorblade runnergeorge orwellapocalypsealdous huxleyjohn wyndhamnineteen eighty-four1984brave new worldfilm studiesarmageddonharry potterUtopiaEnd of the world.Apocalypse in art.Apocalypse in literature.Apocalypse in motion pictures.809.93382Lisboa Maria Manuel801196MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996205295203316The end of the world1990994UNISA04993nam 2201261 a 450 991078044680332120230617023844.00-520-92957-81-59734-651-910.1525/9780520929579(CKB)111090529079574(EBL)223157(OCoLC)756585223(SSID)ssj0000170612(PQKBManifestationID)11161728(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000170612(PQKBWorkID)10224981(PQKB)11489774(StDuBDS)EDZ0000055836(MiAaPQ)EBC223157(DE-B1597)520633(OCoLC)1114885447(DE-B1597)9780520929579(Au-PeEL)EBL223157(CaPaEBR)ebr10058519(EXLCZ)9911109052907957420030312d2004 ub 0engurnn#---|u||utxtccrHesiod's Ascra[electronic resource] /Anthony T.

Persuading Perses --Works Cited --IndexIn Works and Days, one of the two long poems that have come down to us from Hesiod, the poet writes of farming, morality, and what seems to be a very nasty quarrel with his brother Perses over their inheritance. In this book, Anthony T. Edwards extracts from the poem a picture of the social structure of Ascra, the hamlet in northern Greece where Hesiod lived, most likely during the seventh century B.C.E.. Drawing on the evidence of trade, food storage, reciprocity, and the agricultural regime as Hesiod describes them in Works and Days, Edwards reveals Ascra as an autonomous village, outside the control of a polis, less stratified and integrated internally than what we observe even in Homer. In light of this reading, the conflict between Hesiod and Perses emerges as a dispute about the inviolability of the community's external boundary and the degree of interobligation among those within the village. Hesiod's Ascra directly counters the accepted view of Works and Days, which has Hesiod describing a peasant society subordinated to the economic and political control of an outside elite. Through his deft analysis, Edwards suggests a new understanding of both Works and Days and the social and economic organization of Hesiod's time and place.Didactic poetry, GreekHistory and criticismFarmersGreeceBiographyPoets, GreekBiographyAgriculture in literatureFarm life in literatureVillages in literatureAscra (Greece)Intellectual lifeTo 500Voiōtia (Greece)In literatureAscra (Greece)In literatureagriculture.ancient greece.ancient history.aristocracy.boeotia.classical history.classicism.classics.community.cultural studies.days.debt.didactic poetry.family life.family structure.farmers.farming.greece.greek culture.greek democracy.greek poetry.hamlet.hellenism.hesiod.inheritance.literary criticism.literary.literature.morality.nonfiction.northern greece.peasants.perses.poems.poetry.poverty.property.rural.sacra.self.social history.village.wealth.works.Didactic poetry, GreekHistory and criticism.FarmersPoets, GreekAgriculture in literature.Farm life in literature.Villages in literature.881/.01Edwards Anthony T239660MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780446803321Hesiod's Ascra1096647UNINA
