Po njegovi smrti, ko se je budizem v svojem plodnem razvoju razvejal na številne tokove in šole, tudi izven meja Indije, je praznina privzela raznolike podobe, te pa druži njena bistvena lastnost, ki se pretaka skozi vsa miselna obzorja tradicije, in je povsem nasprotna običajnemu razumevanju praznine kot negativitete v smislu breztemeljnega in brezplodnega niča. V budizmu, zlasti v luči nauka o minljivosti in tesni medsebojni povezanosti vsega živečega, je praznina namreč opredeljena kot dinamična totaliteta bivajočega.","PeriodicalId":221912,"journal":{"name":"Ars & Humanitas","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125416898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Beyond Elimination and Construction","authors":"Adnan Sivić, S. Vörös","doi":"10.4312/ars.16.2.165-178","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4312/ars.16.2.165-178","url":null,"abstract":"As Zen took root in the West over the past century, there emerged a number of differing interpretations of one of its key facets, namely the question of the relationship between language and enlightenment. The two camps which came to garner the most attention in philosophical circles are eliminativism, which understands enlightenment as the cutting off of linguistic and socio-cultural categories, accomplished by arbitrary means, and constructivism, which identifies satori with the exercise of certain linguistic and cultural conventions. In the present paper, we first lay out some of the most important criticisms of these two positions, arguing that the two accounts fall into the error of either demonizing or fetishizing language, respectively, before outlining a different approach to the relationship between practice and realization, drawing on the largely neglected work of perennialist thinkers and a phenomenologically informed notion of symbolism. By taking the idea of the symbol in its double meaning, namely as that which “casts together” the culturally conditioned particularities of Zen into a unified tradition, and yet points beyond them as a “sign” of something that itself transcends all description, we propose an interpretation that can do justice both to the crucial role played by concrete practices and to the transcendent nature of their soteriological “end”.","PeriodicalId":221912,"journal":{"name":"Ars & Humanitas","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115182899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While Eusebius, in a famous statement, presented the emperor as a sort of a bishop, the Greek Vita Antonii tried to present a very different model, one that seems to be sceptical of the imperial power and perhaps of earthly society as such. The point was not lost on those who later developed the genre, as can be seen in the writings of Sulpicius Severus, the author of Vita Martini, written at the end of the fourth century, where the three emperors from Vita Antonii are paralleled with three different emperors, in a much sharper relief, subverting secular power and underlining the superiority of its spiritual alternative.","PeriodicalId":221912,"journal":{"name":"Ars & Humanitas","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114834666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lo stesso vale per l’ode ad Augusto vincitore sui Sigambri, tutta giocata sul rapporto con il modello pindarico, e condotta secondo un accorto uso della recusatio e della praeteritio che ricorda la struttura dell’“encomio a Policrate” ibiceo.\u0000Nel momento stesso in cui viene a formarsi l’impero romano, e di conseguenza si manifesta la necessità di offrirne una rappresentazione letteraria che possa diventare paradigmatica, due fra i massimi poeti augustei si volgerebbero dunque agli autori della lirica greca arcaica, noti e praticati nella Roma del tempo, di cui riprendono temi e arsenale retorico: pare emergere, insomma, una tendenza di riappropriazione retorico-letteraria, meritevole di indagini sistematiche su un campione testuale più ampio.","PeriodicalId":221912,"journal":{"name":"Ars & Humanitas","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125983096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The initiative for this collection of papers originated in the research project “Empire and Transformation of Genre in Roman Literature”, funded by the Slovenian Research Agency (J6-2585). A live conference on the topic was planned for 2021 but had to be called off for obvious reasons.

Oktavian hat Antonius und Kleopatra in der Schlacht bei Actium im Jahr 31 v. Chr. besiegt und Alexandrien im drauffolgenden Jahr erobert. Er propagierte Antonius als den verweiblichten Ehemann der Orientalin Kleopatra, der vermeintlich in Ausschweifung und außerordentlichem Luxus gelebt und eine drohende Gefahr für das römische Imperium und den Westen verkörpert habe. Darüber hinaus werden die Transformationen untersucht, die Kleopatras Bild in verschiedenen literarischen Gattungen in der Antike unterlief, seine Rezeption in der Renaissance-Malerei und im modernen Film. Dabei wird der Orientalismusbegriff von Edward Saïd in Bezug auf Aischylos’ Perser nuanciert, um herauszustellen, dass er die Perser nicht nur als mit griechischen Sitten vertraut darstellt, sondern auch als Barbaren. Weiter wird diskutiert, wie Oktavian durch seine politische Invektive gegen Antonius das Bild von Kleopatra beeinflusst hat.\u0000Augusteische Dichter arbeiteten in ihre Gedichte einige Reflexe von Oktavians Bild der ägyptischen Königin im Einvernehmen mit den Tropen ihrer jeweiligen literarischen Gattung ein. Horaz stellt in der Epode 9 Kleopatras Ehemann Antonius in einer der Invektive ähnlichen Weise als ihren Sklaven und Eunuchen dar. Im ersten Teil der Ode 1.37 suggeriert Horaz, Kleopatra sei ein Monster und eine verruchte Königin, wohingegen er im zweiten Teil betont, dass sie ihre Niederlage mit der Würde einer guten Herrscherin angenommen habe. Römische Elegiker schildern Kleopatra passend zu den Tropen der Liebeselegie als elegische Herrin und Antonius als ihren Sklaven. Vergil inszeniert in seiner Aeneis den Zusammenprall zwischen Kleopatras Osten und dem Westen, welcher durch Augustus repräsentiert ist, aber der epische Erzählrahmen der Episode, die Ekphrasis von Aeneas’ Schild, betont ihren fiktiven Charakter und hebt die Fluidität der stereotypen Zuschreibung von Fremdheit und Weiblichkeit hervor. In der europäischen Malerei und in Filmen eignete man sich stereotype und orientalisierende Kleopatra-Bilder an. Seit der Neuzeit ist Kleopatra zu einer konstruierten Figur geworden, die häufig im Dienste der orientalistischen Machtdiskurse, des nationalstaatlichen Imperialismus und im letzten Jahrhundert auch der Käuferlenkung steht.","PeriodicalId":221912,"journal":{"name":"Ars & Humanitas","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132161487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With his universal interest in all things human, Bodin predated Marc Bloch’s postulate that historians should ideally be interested in all forms of life if they were to perform their task as dutifully as possible. In 1566 Bodin published one of the most frequently reprinted works, the Methodus ad facilem historiarum cognitionem – “The Method for the Easy Understanding of History”. Although he expressed keen interest and good knowledge of a score of ancient historians, listing them in the fourth chapter of his work (De historicorum delectu – “On the Choice of Historians”), one of them was particularly close to his heart. The Roman historian Gaius Sallustius Crispus who is, according to Bodin, “a most honest author [who] possessed experience of important affairs”, provided Bodin and many of his colleagues with a model (stasis) narrative for discussing a changing world in turmoil – something Bodin was no stranger to in the time of the French religious wars. However, the explanation that it was the rhetorically efficient model narrative that inspired Bodin to copy Sallust’s argument seems unsatisfactory and biographically superficial. Instead, this paper closely analyses the Sallustian chapters that purportedly motivated Bodin’s thinking and proposes that there are little grounds in Sallust for Bodin’s legal and historical framing of absolutist sovereignty.","PeriodicalId":221912,"journal":{"name":"Ars & Humanitas","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130658373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
