    Sculpture as Literature and History: Captive and Captivating Venus Figures from the Greek Revolutionary Era by Gonda Van Steen

    Published 2022-04-01
    “…This paper focuses on the sculpture of the Venus de Milo, a chance find of 1820, but a token discovery in the fermentation brought on by the growing tensions between the Ottoman administrative hierarchies, the foreign diplomats, the Greek intellectuals and yet aspiring revolutionaries, and the local populations of the Aegean islands. For lack of an ancient history of the Venus, antiquarianism, treasure-hunting, archival evidence, and Greek revolutionary history blend in the statue’s new lease on life, which is a Western afterlife in literature and legend as well as in history, from which the islanders of Milos have all but been erased. …”

    Shipwreck Architecture by Simon Weir, Sara Rich

    Published 2025-02-01
    “…This trajectory of ideas is then projected into a creative project: a speculative history of shipwreck architecture where the cutting edge of biological research is projected into a technological future when the distant aims of today’s technology are ancient history: when the first generations of grown buildings are preserved as ruins, when giant decommissioned carbon-capture factories drift like ghost ships across lakes of their inky waste, when people remember when shipwrecks caused by the hazards of rising sea levels were later exposed by sinking sea levels and converted into hotels and theatres, and finally, when these theatrical memories provoke such nostalgia that shipwreck architecture would be replicated and fabricated. …”

    Louve capitoline ou draco ? Politisation du passé antique et matérialisation de l’autochtonie dans la Roumanie du xxi e siècle by Mathieu Mokhtari

    Published 2023-12-01
    “…Our work will examine the different points of view of the stakeholders in order to highlight the political use of ancient history which, in the first case, seeks to link these Roman remains to modern Romanians, thus asserting the anteriority of their presence in Transylvania over the Hungarians and, in the second case, to claim the importance of the Dacian element in the Romanian identity.…”
