Synopsis "Messages from Antiquity" by : Ulrike Babusiaux
Roman law has shaped the Civil law tradition but its influence undoubtedly also extends to Common law countries. Legal institutions as well as legal reasoning reassembled in the Corpus iuris civilis have been studied for nearly one thousand years in Western Europe and have been a constant point of reference. Japanese law adopted this tradition since the Meiji-era. Roman law does not only offer a historical insight into the foundations of modern legal thinking, but can also be a useful tool for deeper understanding and analysis of current legal problems. The international seminar held at the University of Kyushu in February 2016 intended to show the validity of Roman law for contemporary legal practitioners facing current challenges by looking at selected issues. Das römische Recht hat die Tradition des Civil law geprägt, aber ohne Zweifel auch das Common law beeinflusst. Die Rechtsinstitute und die rechtliche Argumentation, welche im Corpus iuris civilis gesammelt sind, stehen in Westeuropa seit über tausend Jahren im Zentrum juristischer Studien und bilden auch im Japanischen Recht seit der Meiji-Ära einen wichtigen Bezugspunkt. Allerdings erlaubt das römische Recht nicht nur einen Zugang zu den historischen Grundlagen des modernen Rechtsdenkens; vielmehr kann es auch als Instrument zum tieferen Verständnis und zur Analyse aktueller Rechtsprobleme dienen. Die internationale Tagung an der Universität Kyushu im Februar 2016 verfolgte den Zweck, anhand ausgewählter Rechtsfragen den zeitlosen Wert des römischen Rechts auch für die Herausforderungen der heutigen Jurisprudenz aufzuzeigen.

Synopsis Image and Text in Graeco-Roman Antiquity by : Michael Squire
The relation between the visual and the verbal spheres has been much contested in recent years, from laments about the 'logocentricism' of the academy to the heralding of the 'pictorial turn' of the multimedia age. This lavishly illustrated book recontextualises these debates through the historical lens of Greek and Roman antiquity. Dr Squire shows how modern Western concepts of 'words' and 'pictures' derive from a post-Reformation tradition of theology and aesthetics. Where modern critics assume a bipartite separation between images and texts, classical antiquity toyed with a more playful and engaged relation between the two. By using the ancient world to rethink our own ideologies of the visual and the verbal, this interdisciplinary book brings together classics and art history, as well as a sustained reflection on their historiography: the result is a new and explosive cultural history of Western visual thinking.

Synopsis Ancient Worlds by : Michael Scott
"As panoramic as it is learned, this is ancient history for our globalized world." -- Tom Holland, author of Dynasty and Rubicon Twenty-five-hundred years ago, civilizations around the world entered a revolutionary new era that overturned old order and laid the foundation for our world today. In the face of massive social changes across three continents, radical new forms of government emerged; mighty wars were fought over trade, religion, and ideology; and new faiths were ruthlessly employed to unify vast empires. The histories of Rome and China, Greece and India-the stories of Constantine and Confucius, Qin Shi Huangdi and Hannibal-are here revealed to be interconnected incidents in the midst of a greater drama. In Ancient Worlds, historian Michael Scott presents a gripping narrative of this unique age in human civilization, showing how diverse societies responded to similar pressures and how they influenced one another: through conquest and conversion, through trade in people, goods, and ideas. An ambitious reinvention of our grandest histories, Ancient Worlds reveals new truths about our common human heritage. "A bold and imaginative page-turner that challenges ideas about the world of antiquity." UPeter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads
