In this lively and concise biography Karl Galinsky examines Augustus' life from childhood to deification. He chronicles the mosaic of vicissitudes, challenges, setbacks and successes that shaped Augustus' life, both public and private. How did he use his power? How did he manage to keep re-inventing himself? What kind of man was he? A transformative leader, Augustus engineered profound change in Rome and throughout the Mediterranean world. No one would have expected such vast achievements from the frail and little-known eighteen-year-old who became Caesar's heir amid turmoil and crisis. A mere thirteen years later, after defeating Antony and Cleopatra, he had, in his words, 'power over all things'. 606 $aEmperors$zRome$vBiography 607 $aRome$xHistory$yAugustus, 30 B.C.-14 A.D 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$y30 B.C.-68 A.D 615 0$aEmperors 676 $a937/.07092 700 $aGalinsky$b Karl$f1942-$0162862 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461935703321 996 $aAugustus$91903326 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04040oam 2200877 c 450 001 9910513704103321 005 20260302090207.0 010 $a9783839460047 010 $a3839460042 024 3 $a9783839460047 035 $a(CKB)5590000000630344 035 $a(transcript Verlag)9783839460047 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6956400 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6956400 035 $a(DE-B1597)590651 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783839460047 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/75026 035 $a(ScCtBLL)dc36f5c7-8a44-426f-a6a1-ec699b5cd9ef 035 $a(oapen)doab75026 035 $a(EXLCZ)995590000000630344 100 $a20260302d2021 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnnunnnannuu 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBiohacking, Bodies and Do-It-Yourself$eThe Cultural Politics of Hacking Life Itself$fMirjam Grewe-Salfeld 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aBielefeld$ctranscript Verlag$d2021 215 $a1 online resource (314 p.)$c233 MB 225 0 $aAmerican Culture Studies 311 08$a9783837660043 311 08$a3837660044 327 $aCover -- Contents -- Preface: Amidst a Global Pandemic -- PART I: INTRODUCTIONS -- 1 Introduction: Biotechnologies, Bodies and Biomakers -- 2 Biology and Culture - an Overview of the Field -- PART II: BACKGROUND -- 3 The Promise of Small Things - The Cultural Presence of (Molecular) Biology -- 4 With my Own two Hands - Tracing DIY from Individualism to Maker Culture -- PART III: 'HACKING' LIFE ITSELF -- 5 'Hacking' Life Itself - In Pursuit of a Definition -- 6 #iambulletproof - A Layperson's Guide to Self-Enhancement -- 7 A Pill for Every Ill - Drugs and Supplements -- 8 Test Yourself - Making the Invisible Visible -- 9 Homo Technologicus? - The Technological Self, Inside Out -- 10 "The Human Need to Fiddle" - Tinkering with Technology -- PART IV: REFLECTIONS -- 11 Discussing DIY -- 12 Conclusion: Between Politics and Promise -- Works Cited. 330 $aFrom self-help books and nootropics, to self-tracking and home health tests, to the tinkering with technology and biological particles ? biohacking brings biology, medicine, and the material foundation of life into the sphere of »do-it-yourself«. This trend has the potential to fundamentally change people's relationship with their bodies and biology but it also creates new cultural narratives of responsibility, authority, and differentiation. Covering a broad range of examples, this book explores practices and representations of biohacking in popular culture, discussing their ambiguous position between empowerment and requirement, promise and prescription. 410 0$aAmerican Culture Studies 517 2 $aGrewe-Salfeld, Biohacking, Bodies and Do-It-Yourself$eThe Cultural Politics of Hacking Life Itself 606 $aCulture 606 $aRepresentation 606 $aBiology 606 $aMedicine 606 $aBiocultures 606 $aBiohacking 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aCultural Narratives 606 $aDIY 606 $aAmerica 606 $aBody 606 $aBiopolitics 606 $aAmerican Studies 606 $aLife Sciences 606 $aCultural Studies 615 4$aCulture 615 4$aRepresentation 615 4$aBiology 615 4$aMedicine 615 4$aBiocultures 615 4$aBiohacking 615 4$aBiotechnology 615 4$aCultural Narratives 615 4$aDIY 615 4$aAmerica 615 4$aBody 615 4$aBiopolitics 615 4$aAmerican Studies 615 4$aLife Sciences 615 4$aCultural Studies 676 $a613 700 $aGrewe-Salfeld$b Mirjam$p
