This unit is designed to familiarise students with a wide range of theoretical perspectives relating to the study of ancient culture and its reception. This will enable them to situate their reading of secondary works within an appropriate intellectual context, and will thus facilitate their critical approach to other scholars. It will also enable them to reflect upon and to mobilise their own interpretations of ancient culture and its reception in their research.
Students will understand a range of theoretical perspectives and will be able to comment on their inter-relation, the history of their development and their relevance to different areas of the study of antiquity and its reception.
