Through a series of readings of three key Latin literary texts alongside six contemporary cultural theorists, Ika Willis argues for an understanding of sovereignty as a system which enforces certain rules for legibility, transmission and circulation on both information and bodies, redefining the relationship between the 'virtual' and the 'material'. This book is both innovative and important in that it brings together several key strands in recent thinking about sovereignty, history, space, and telecommunications, especially in the way it brings together 'textual' theories (reception, deconstruction) with political and spatial thinking. It also serves as a much-needed crossing-point between Classical Studies and cultural theory. 410 0$aContinuum Studies in Classical Reception 606 $aPolitical science$xClassical influences 606 $2Ancient history: to c 500 CE 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aPolitics in literature 606 $aSovereignty in literature 606 $aSpace in literature 615 0$aPolitical science$xClassical influences. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPolitics in literature. 615 0$aSovereignty in literature. 615 0$aSpace in literature. 676 $a871/.01 700 $aWillis$b Ika$f1975-$0617472 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155209503321 996 $aNow and Rome$91085722 997 $aUNINA
