Constantine succeeded in propelling this minority religion to imperial status using the traditional tools of governance, yet his proclamation of his new religious orientation was by no means unambiguous. His coins and inscriptions, public monuments, and pronouncements sent unmistakable signals to his non-Christian subjects that he was willing not only to accept their beliefs about the nature of the divine but also to incorporate traditional forms of religious expression into his own self-presentation. In Constantine and the Cities, Noel Lenski attempts to reconcile these apparent contradictions by examining the dialogic nature of Constantine's power and how his rule was built in the space between his ambitions for the empire and his subjects' efforts to further their own understandings of religious truth. Focusing on cities and the texts and images produced by their citizens for and about the emperor, Constantine and the Cities uncovers the interplay of signals between ruler and subject, mapping out the terrain within which Constantine nudged his subjects in the direction of conversion. Reading inscriptions, coins, legal texts, letters, orations, and histories, Lenski demonstrates how Constantine and his subjects used the instruments of government in a struggle for authority over the religion of the empire. 410 0$aEmpire and after. 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zRome$xHistory 606 $aSocial change$zRome$xHistory 606 $aChristianity and politics$zRome$xHistory 607 $aRome$xHistory$yConstantine I, the Great, 306-337 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$y284-476 607 $aRome$xReligion 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 615 0$aChristianity and politics$xHistory. 676 $a937/.08 700 $aLenski$b Noel Emmanuel$f1965-$0297684 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996331950103316 996 $aConstantine and the cities$92645208 997 $aUNISA LEADER 03827nam 2200697 450 001 9910787995703321 005 20230803195539.0 010 $a0-8032-5468-7 010 $a0-8032-5465-2 035 $a(CKB)2670000000545526 035 $a(EBL)1656991 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001136238 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11741785 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001136238 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11102506 035 $a(PQKB)11109249 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1656991 035 $a(OCoLC)874967487 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse32532 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1656991 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10852507 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL584368 035 $a(OCoLC)880826530 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000545526 100 $a20140408h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aReading unruly $einterpretation and its ethical demands /$fZahi Zalloua 210 1$aLincoln, [Nebraska] ;$aLondon, [England] :$cUniversity of Nebraska Press,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (443 p.) 225 1 $aSymploke Studies in Contemporary Theory 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8032-4627-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Series Page; Title Page; Copyright Page; Dedication; Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction; 1.

Zahi Zalloua argues that when faced with an unruly work of art, readers confront an ethical double bind, hesitating then between the two conflicting injunctions of either thematizing (making sense) of the literary work, or attending to its aesthetic alterity or unreadability. Creatively hesitating between incommensurable demands (to interpret but not to translate back into familiar terms), ethical readers are invited to cultivate an appreciation for the unruly, to curb the desire for hermeneutic mastery without simultaneously renouncing meaning or the interpretive endeavor as such. Examining French texts from Montaigne's sixteenth-century Essays to Diderot's fictional dialogue Rameau's Nephew and Baudelaire's prose poems The Spleen of Paris, to the more recent works of Jean-Paul Sartre's Nausea, Alain Robbe-Grillet's Jealousy, and Marguerite Duras's The Ravishing of Lol Stein, Reading Unruly demonstrates that in such an approach to literature and theory, reading itself becomes a desire for more, an ethical and aesthetic desire to prolong rather than to arrest the act of interpretation.
