Lavinia, the Unacknowledged Co-Author of Titus Andronicus
No full textThe continuing debate over the potentially collaborative status of Titus Andronicus is symptomatic of Shakespeare’s exploration of collaboration within the play through the character of Lavinia. He creates a Rome in which multiple narratives about purity, rape and sacrifice circulate. It is not the pure ideal society that Titus imagines, but a hybrid. Lavinia’s rape results from conflict between the many tales striving to inscribe her, prominently those of Philomela and Lucrece, and her violation enables her to recognize them. Becoming aware of her own composite nature and the hybridity of the state, Lavinia rejects the strategy of reading employed around and used on her. Rather than inserting herself into one tale and attempting to repeat it, reiterating Roman glory or sacrificing herself in order to restore it, Lavinia’s awareness of the many circulating stories enables her to manipulate them.
Lavinia becomes the play’s figure for collaboration and the co-author of her own story, asserting her place as an “impure” hybrid in Rome. Her collaborative skills uniquely fit Lavinia to help her contemporaries survive in the state they are coming to realize is not, and never was, an unadulterated haven from confusion. In claiming a place for herself in society, Lavinia risks being drawn back into the dominant narratives of purity and sacrifice, a danger that comes to fruition in her murder. Unsuccessful for herself, Lavinia leaves her story in circulation, an assertion of the hybridity that neither her surviving family nor the society as a whole can ignore
<i>Titus Andronicus</i> with George Peele
No full textAbstract
The external evidence for the genesis of Titus Andronicus is meagre, and has become even smaller of late. T. M. Parrott's essay of 1919 may stand as the first attempt to establish the authenticity of Titus Andronicus by using the methods of modern authorship studies, combining quantitative analysis of the play's verse styles with the citation of enough close parallel passages to make the case for the separate presence of George Peele and Shakespeare beyond the possibility of coincidence or imitation. Specifically discussed is the detailed evaluation of Peele's share in Titus Andronicus. The case for Peele's co-authorship can be made even stronger by examining other aspects of the play's style: three new tests have been devised. It can be stated that Peele is recognized as co-author of ‘The Most Lamentable Romaine Tragedy of Titus Andronicus’.</jats:p

A career reconstruction of Titus Flavius Agricola
Full text linkTit Flavije Agrikola obnašao je municipalnu službu u Saloni, Ekvu, Rideru i Splonumu te jedan vojnički položaj u X. legiji Gemini. Kako u znanstvenoj literaturi postoje različite rekonstrukcije Agrikoline karijere, cilj ovoga rada je, u svjetlu novih spoznaja, odrediti točan redoslijed obnašanja pojedinih
funkcija, uz nezaobilaznu analizu konteksta u kojem se podiže spomenik.The author presents the problems related to the inscription CIL 3, 2026, which recorded cursus honorum of Titus Flavius Agricola. By detailed analysis of the inscription, as well as a scientific discussion on prominent military and municipal functions, the life and career of Titus Flavius Agricola were chronologically reconstructed. The key point is the fact that the inscription CIL 3, 2087 dedicated to the decurio of Salona Titus Vetius Augustalis, who held also the duties of quaestor, aed l and duovir, is engraved on the same monument. Comparing the careers of Titus Flavius Agricola and Titus Vetius Augustalis, the author concluded that the function of prefect and patron of a collegium fabrum, which were
held by both, was crucial for the erection of the monument. Because of this statement, the paper also discusses abouth the organization and meaning of the collegium fabrum and concludes that collegium was a professional association, presented throughout the municipalities of the Empire, with a very complex internal structure. The top of the collegium
consisted of high-ranking persons, very often from the equestrian rank, acting as patron and prefect. Flavius Agricola and Vetius Augustal also belonged to this category, to whom their collegium fabrum engraved inscriptions on a common monument in Salona, at the time that Augustal was still an active patron of the collegim, while Agricola's patronage was commemorated retrograde

Modern traumas
No full textModern traumas is an evocative collection of poetry that explores some of the most troubling and disturbing issues of our time. In its sweep, universality and poignancy the work has been hailed as a unique achievement in contemporary literature by the author, Amol Titus, whose previous works darkness at Bamiyan and A Summit at Jungfraujoch have resonated with a diverse cross section of readers.Jakarta106 halaman : ilustrasi ; 30 c
Characteristics of The Plautine Comic in Pseudolus
Full text linkTitus Maccius Plautus did not write an original work. The author from Sarsina himself acknowledged the Greek model of his plays. The ancients did not have a cult for originality, the way modernists do and Plautus makes no exception. All that the playwright aims to, regardless of the form, is laughter: “It is a comedy full of charm and humor: / You will roll in the aisles” . Through the analysis of “Pseudolus”, we have tried to outline several characteristics of ludus comicus, of the artistic modality to accomplish it, by the means of which the author from Sarsina managed to assert his uniqueness.ludus comicus, comic, Titus Maccius Plautus

Sum of Every Lost Ship
No full textAllison Titus is the author of Sum of Every Lost Ship (Cleveland State University Poetry Center, 2010), the novel The Arsonist\u27s Song Has Nothing To Do With Fire (Etruscan, 2014) and the forthcoming book of poems, The True Book of Animal Homes. She teaches in the low-res M.F.A. program at New England College.
“Sum of Every Lost Ship navigates what is haunting, strange, and unknowable grief and disappearances, fragments and histories. Reading, we are deftly balanced on the shores of mystery, a mystery fathomed by a keen instinct for metaphor. Allison Titus is a writer exquisitely attuned to compassion, isolation, and the sometimes overlooked details of this sturdy and tenuous world goats hearts, schooners, cabinets, arctic realities. This is a startling and moving collection.” –Talvikki Ansel
“The pilgrim heart, as one of Allison Titus’ exquisite phrasings has it, requires an unmooring, a letting go, into a world marked by passing journeys, passing architectures, almost-lost motels for intimates to get lost in a hardscrabble world rich with leavings. An internality emerges, sets out, to congress with the obstinate, the creaturely. This poetry’s experiment takes us to the fact that the everyday is also experimental, in that, familiar as it is, it can never, if it is seen intensely enough to be durably writ, be wholly predicted. So fine a lyric sensibility as the reader will find in these poems is all the more compelling for acknowledging the human limits of the lyric, for making hard choices, even refusals, and for never romanticizing omission i.e., obliteration but testing it at every step with earthly perceptions. Allison Titus’ s Sum of Every Lost Ship presents readers with a striking new poetry, and a beautiful and truly original voice.” –William Olsen
“‘We choose / what soothes us,’ writes Allison Titus in this intricate collection, and yet I don t quite believe her; Titus’s choices here are invariably brave and unflinching, thus wonderfully jarring. She pays careful attention, and her sights land on deafening gallops, shipwrecked utterances, waking night terrors. This close-up looking reminds us of our essential predicament ‘What we need / is a surefire way to strap the bed / onto the trembling boat,’ she tells us and yet, in Titus s steady hands, capsize seems not only necessary danger but uncanny adventure.” –Kerri Webster

A text-centered rhetorical analysis of Paul's letter to Titus
No full textThis study has been conducted upon the presupposition that the Letter to Titus still has to benefit from a thorough rhetorical critical analysis that will demonstrate its uniqueness as a coherent, comprehensive portion of New Testament literature that can be interpreted independently from the two letters to Timothy. Accordingly, a review of existing scholarship on the Pastorals generally and Titus specifically was conducted (Section1) followed by a comprehensive text-centred rhetorical analysis of the Letter to Titus (Section 2). Finally, a summary of the results of this study was presented (Section 3). In Section 1, the review of existing scholarship on the authorship, theology, structure and coherency, and rhetorical approaches to Titus revealed how, due to the pervasiveness of the authenticity or authorship debate about the Pastorals, the Letter to Titus has been marginalised and interpreted in the light of the Timothean correspondence. In all the above categories, the individuality and uniqueness of Titus have been compromised. The authenticity of the Pastoral Letters went unchallenged until the turn of the nineteenth century when German scholars expressed their doubts about the alleged Pauline authorship of this corpus. The key dispute issues related to theological, ecclesiological, stylistic and historical inconsistencies that New Testament scholars observed in their analysis of the three letters. In response to these apparent inconsistencies, various theories were developed to account for the origin of the three letters. The first was the pseudonymous or fiction hypothesis according to which it is argued that the Pastorals were authored by someone other than Paul, but who used his name, probably some time after his death. Scholars who defend Pauline authorship of the Pastorals have challenged pseudonymity on the basis of ethics, history, hermeneutics, and apostolic objections. The origin of the letters have also been explained by the following theories: fragment hypothesis, secretary or amanuensis hypothesis and the allonymity or allepigraphy hypothesis. Theology, Christology, pneumatology and soteriology are central emphases in the theology of Titus, but tend to be interpreted in relationship with the other two letters. Structurally, the Letter to Titus, when compared to the other Pastorals, has been described as not having any structure, being incoherent. This position has been proposed by James Miller. In defence, Ray van Neste has argued for the coherence of the letter. Rhetorical studies devoted exclusively to Titus have been found to be severely lacking. The exception has been the work by Joachim Classen entitled “A rhetorical reading of the Epistle to Titus”. While having much to commend it, the article has been shown to have several serious shortcomings: although the article deals with what is there, it does not address the issue of persuasion; in other words, it does not evaluate why the author says things in the way he does; it is more exegetical than rhetorical; it is not a comprehensive treatment of the whole letter; it is silent about the obvious theological emphases in the letter. There have been increasing calls for an appreciation of the three letters individually. This study attempted to respond to that call on the basis of the following hypothesis: A thorough text-centred rhetorical approach to the Letter of Titus (i.e. without relating it to the other two Pastoral Letters or approaching it in terms of the authenticity/inauthenticity debate) will yield new insights for its interpretation. In Section 2 the rhetorical situation was presented followed by a comprehensive rhetorical analysis of the letter, using a text-centred, minimal theory framework approach, formulated by D.F. Tolmie (2005). The objective was to investigate and analyse the rhetorical strategy of the author from the text, which was divided into 11 rhetorical units. Each unit was demarcated and described in terms of the dominant rhetorical objective of the author. This was done based on a verse-by-verse analysis of the text. This approach yielded much insight into the unique rhetorical structure of the letter as a whole and provided rich insights into the coherence of the letter. A variety of rhetorical techniques revealed the intricate rhetorical structure that characterise this short letter. Some techniques have been observed that may not yet have been categorised by scholars to date. In Section 3 the results of the study have been summarised. It sets out the rhetorical objective of the text in terms of the chronological development of the author’s argument as it develops from unit to unit. A second way to describe the rhetorical strategy of the author has been described in terms of the overlap between the various units which revealed several controlling rhetorical objectives. Furthermore, the rhetorical techniques used in the letter have been summarised in this section. New techniques have also been defined and listed in the concluding section. The study concludes with the conviction that the Letter to Titus can stand independently from the rest of the Pastorals and makes a significant contribution in our understanding and appreciation of Paul’s use of rhetoric.University of the Free State, Faculty of Theolog
