Julius Caesar, reception of
No full textThe reception of Caesar constitutes, for obvious reasons, an immense topic. As a political idea, Caesar exhibits from the very beginning a tension between his role as dictator and destroyer of the Republic and his standing as the political and military genius who founded the Empire. This contrariety, not least by way of the analytic category of Caesarism, is especially marked in the political discourse of the 19th and 20th centuries. Caesar’s literary reception, though influenced by contemporary political conflicts, is not always tethered to them in straightforward ways. The Caesar of literature is often a reaction to the Caesar of Shakespeare. And there are other important issues: Caesar as a problem in the recovery of authenticity, or Caesar, because he is a canonical author, as a symbol of the conservative claims of the established order. In art, Caesar the god and Caesar the chivalrous king gradually give way to Caesar the slain dictator or Caesar the imperious conqueror. In popular culture, however, Caesar’s manifestations vary wildly: although he continues to register at a political level, he can also signify imperial excess or martial prowess, and he is available as a medium for lampooning the various guises of his own reception.</p
JULIUS CAESAR PERSONALITY IN POETRY BY V. BRUSOV
No full textThe paper deals with V. Brusov’s verses «Julius Caesar», «October 1917» and «Caesar to Cleopatra». According to the paper’s author, Caesar depicted by V. Brusov is not only a politician, commander and master of Rome, but a person ruled by passion, feelings and emotions. The paper concludes that V. Brusov’s verses provide historic details of the Ancient Rome epoch. The author also identifies convergences, since both V. Brusov and Caesar strived for dominance – Caesar ruled over Rome, while V. Brusov was preponderant in his literary surrounding

Sulla and Caesar
No full textВ статье анализируется конфликт Цезаря с Суллой в 82 г. до н.э. Автор подкрепляет дополнительными аргументами позицию тех ученых, которые придерживаются той точки зрения, что имени Цезаря не было в проскрипционных списках. Собственность Цезаря, очевидно, не была конфискована, и он не прятался от inquisitores Суллы. Он лишь покинул Рим, дожидаясь решения диктатора, раздраженного отказом Цезаря развестись со своей женой, дочерью Цинны Корнелией. Корнелий Фагита, который, как полагают, догнал Цезаря в Сабинии, был послан туда, согласно точке зрения автора статьи, не для того, чтобы взять Цезаря под арест, а чтобы сообщить тому решение Суллы. Вероятно, диктатор позволил Цезарю не разводиться с женой, но велел оставить Италию и отправиться в Азию, дабы служить там под началом Минуция Терма. Драматическая история об этом событии возникла, по мнению автора, только в 60-х гг. до н.э., когда по Риму пошла волна антисулланских настроений, и в интересах Цезаря было подчеркнуть свое сопротивление покойному диктатору. The article deals with the conflict between Sulla and Caesar in 82 BC. Author strenghtens argumentation of those scholars who believe that Caesar was not proscribed. In is obvious that Caesar's property was not confiscated, and he did not hide from Sulla's inquisitores. He only left Rome waiting for decision of dictator who was irritated with Caesar's refusal to divorce his wife Cornelia, Cinna's daughter. Cornelius Fagita who is supposed to overtake Caesar in Sabina, was sent there according to author no to arrest Caesar but to tell him Sulla's decision. Dictator probably allowed Caesar not to make divorce but ordered to leave Italy and to depart for Asia and serve under Minucius Thermus. Dramatic story which came to us on this subject emerged to the author's mind only in 60es BC, when anti-sullan wave was arising in Roman public opinion and Caesar's interest was to empharize his antagonism to deceased dictator.Переработанный вариант статьи см. по адресу: http://elar.uniyar.ac.ru/jspui/handle/123456789/3504
(Review) Caesar in Gaul and Rome: War in Words
No full text“[Andrew M. Riggsby has written] . . . an insightful monograph on the Caesarian portion of the BG [De bello Gallico]. The result will prove useful not only to those interested in Caesar, but also to scholars whose work focuses on the nature of Roman imperialism and ancient ethnography. . . . Caesar in Gaul and Rome demonstrates its author\u27s familiarity with contemporary theoretical perspectives (postcolonialism, semiotics, etc.), yet never seems dogmatic or arcane. [The author] may not single-handedly reverse [negative] scholarly attitudes toward Caesar\u27s commentarii, but his work goes a long way toward demonstrating what can be gleaned from a text normally—and unfortunately—reserved for novice students of Latin.
"All of the problems of poverty are brought because of being disabled": Particularities of poverty experienced by persons with disabilities in Western Province
No full textBACKGROUND: In qualitative research about the lived experience of disability in Western Province in Zambia, persons with disabilities spoke frequently and emphatically about poverty. This is unsurprising as this province is consistently identified as having high levels of poverty. However, in the participants’ narratives, it was striking that poverty was often presented as a condition experienced exclusively by persons with disabilities. This finding creates a dilemma for efforts to address poverty among persons with disabilities: should their poverty be thought of as distinct from, or similar to, the poverty experienced by persons without disabilities? Purpose: To explore how these people with disabilities discussed poverty, with particular attention to narratives that are particular to persons with disabilities and those that could be common to persons with and without disabilities. METHODS: This study was a secondary analysis of data generated for a constructionist qualitative research project. The participants were 81 persons with diverse forms of disability from an urban and a rural community in Western Province. Data were generated through eight focus group discussions and 39 interviews. In the primary analysis, emergent nodes were derived from the transcribed data using NVivo 10. Nodes related to poverty were reviewed through the secondary data analysis to address the study purpose. RESULTS: The secondary analysis identified multiple aspects of the experience of poverty that were particular to the situation of these persons with disabilities. These aspects included those where a disability reduced the ability to acquire resources through loans, income, or physical tasks. There were also increased expenses related to disability, such as paying for things that others just do, or the costs to mothers with disabilities to raising children after being abandoned by their husbands. Other aspects of the experience of poverty were not clearly traced to disability. Examples of these included restricted access to starter capital for small business ventures and cost barriers to education and skills training. CONCLUSIONS: This study helps to inform a “twin-track approach” to poverty alleviation and development. The aspects of the poverty experience that are particular to persons with disabilities are potential targets for disability-specific action. Other aspects could be common to the experience of poverty for persons with and without disabilities and therefore opportunities for persons with disabilities to seek inclusion into the mainstream movements

The Road to Caesar: Establishing the Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic
No full textThis essay will focus on the primary reasons for Rome’s transition from a Republic to an Empire. Much has been said about this period, most of which emphasizes Caesar as the primary focal point. However, only by analyzing the events and people that led to Caesar’s rule can we gain a more comprehensive understanding of the collapse of the Roman Republic. The later stages of the Republic culminated centuries of turmoil between the people of Rome and their government. Rome’s citizens now demanded more control of their lives through independence. Meanwhile, in the political sphere, the same idea of individualism sparked rivalries between men like Marius, Sulla, Pompey, Crassus, and Caesar—with Caesar ultimately gaining control over the Republic. Consequently, these men all attributed to the destruction of western democracy, and the creation one of the most powerful empires the world has known.Peer reviewe
