{"product_id":"memory-in-ancient-rome-and-karl-galinsky-9780198744764","title":"Memory in Ancient Rome and Early Christianity","description":"What and how do people remember? Who controls the process of what we call cultural or social memory? What is forgotten and why? People's memories are not the same as history written in retrospect; they are malleable and an ongoing process of construction and reconstruction. Ancient Rome provided much of the cultural framework for early Christianity, and in both the role of memory was pervasive. \u003cem\u003eMemory in Ancient Rome and Early Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e presents perspectives from an international and interdisciplinary range of contributors on the literature, history, archaeology, and religion of a major world civilization, based on an informed engagement with important concepts and issues in memory studies. Moving beyond terms such as 'collective', 'social', and 'cultural memory' as standard tropes, the volume offers a selective exploration of the wealth of topics which comprise memory studies, and also features a contribution from a leading neuroscientist on the actual workings of the human memory. It is an importamt resource for anyone interested in Roman antiquity, the beginnings of Christianity, and the role of memory in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Galinsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198744765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198744764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.20d","brand":"Karl Galinsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119426924799,"sku":"9780198744764","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0318f23c-2a34-4b12-940e-0deec9612113.jpg?v=1687409284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memory-in-ancient-rome-and-karl-galinsky-9780198744764","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
