Argonautica (1.721-68) and Europa?s basket in Moschus? Europa (37-62). Ekphrasis, as the verbal representation of visual representation, is both text and image, which makes it a complex yet fascinating phenomenon. By investigating its descriptive and narrative properties, this study sheds light on the interplay between text and image at work in ekphrasis. 410 0$aAmsterdam Studies in Classical Philology$v26. 606 $aEkphrasis 606 $aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEkphrasis. 615 0$aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a880.9001 700 $aKoopman$b Niels$01175200 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811147903321 996 $aAncient Greek ekphrasis$92731828 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06888nam 22007335 450 001 9911010535703321 005 20260122210005.0 010 $a3-031-84659-1 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-84659-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32156853 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32156853 035 $a(CKB)39300886600041 035 $a(OCoLC)1524112960 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-84659-5 035 $a(EXLCZ)9939300886600041 100 $a20250613d2025 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aExploring Curriculum Landscapes in Africa $eTheoretical Foundations and Practical Realities /$fedited by Oscar Koopman, Karen J.

This comprehensive analysis interrogates whether educational systems in South Africa, Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Ghana have successfully decolonized their curricula or remain entrenched in Western epistemological and ontological frameworks despite political independence. Through rigorous investigation of curriculum policies and pedagogical practices, the authors analyze the complex dynamics of educational reform in post-colonial African contexts. The work critically examines the extent to which these education systems have managed to integrate indigenous knowledge systems and local epistemologies into their curricula, or whether they continue to perpetuate Western paradigms of knowledge production and dissemination. In doing so, it offers a theoretically sophisticated yet empirically grounded analysis of the challenges and opportunities in reconstructing African education systems that authentically reflect local cultural contexts while meeting contemporary educational demands.
