| Zusammenfassung: | "Traditional approaches have reduced Caesar's Bellum Civile to a tool for teaching Latin or to one-dimensional propaganda, thereby underestimating its artistic properties and ideological complexity. Reading strategies typical of scholarship on Latin poetry, like intertextuality, narratology, semantic, rhetorical and structural analysis, cast a new light on the Bellum Civile: Ciceronian language advances Caesar's claim to represent Rome; technical vocabulary reinforces the ethical division between 'us' and the 'barbarian' enemy; switches of focalization guide our perception of the narrative; invective and characterization exclude the Pompeians from the Roman community, according to the mechanisms of rhetoric; and the very structure of the work promotes Caesar's cause. As a piece of literature interacting with its cultural and socio-political world, the Bellum Civile participates in Caesar's multimedia campaign of self-fashioning. A comprehensive approach, such as has been productively applied to Augustus' program, locates the Bellum Civile at the interplay between literature, images and politics."--Resource website |

Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2012. 1 online resource (236 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier "Traditional approaches have reduced Caesar's Bellum Civile to a tool for teaching Latin or to one-dimensional propaganda, thereby underestimating its artistic properties and ideological complexity. Reading strategies typical of scholarship on Latin poetry, like intertextuality, narratology, semantic, rhetorical and structural analysis, cast a new light on the Bellum Civile: Ciceronian language advances Caesar's claim to represent Rome; technical vocabulary reinforces the ethical division between 'us' and the 'barbarian' enemy; switches of focalization guide our perception of the narrative; invective and characterization exclude the Pompeians from the Roman community, according to the mechanisms of rhetoric; and the very structure of the work promotes Caesar's cause. As a piece of literature interacting with its cultural and socio-political world, the Bellum Civile participates in Caesar's multimedia campaign of self-fashioning. A comprehensive approach, such as has been productively applied to Augustus' program, locates the Bellum Civile at the interplay between literature, images and politics."--Resource website Introduction -- The swift and the slow: Caesar's art of characterization -- The great contest: Constantia, innocentia, pudor, and virtus -- Redefining loyalty -- The limits and risks of Caesar's leniency -- The barbarization of the enemy -- Two army-communities and their effect on the Roman people -- Shaping the future of Rome -- Appendix 1: Chronology of the civil war (pre-Julian calendar) and narrative structure of the BC -- Appendix 2: Composition, publication, and genre of the BC -- Appendix 3: The manuscript tradition of the BC: openning, end, and book division -- Bibliography -- Index locorum -- General index.
