Births, Rebirths, and Horace’s genius : A Study of Odes IV, 11
No full textThis paper gives a new account of Roman birthday-cult and the genius in the works of Horace. Horace’s implicit theology of genius, it argues, related the public sphere of the nascent State (itself buttressed by birthday cult) to the private sphere of his relationship to Maecenas, and to the solitary sphere of his relationship to himself. At its core, this paper solves two problems raised by his final birthday-poem, Odes IV, 11, «The Blood-Offering Problem » and «The Birthday Problem » . In revealing Horace’s identification of his births and rebirths with those of Maecenas, this paper illuminates Horace’s novel coordination of cosmos, imperium and the individual, in ways that clarify his poetry, his new political theology of empire, and the history of birthday cult.Cet article donne un nouveau compte rendu du culte romain des anniversaires et du génie des oeuvres d’Horace. La théologie implicite du génie d''Horace, selon elle, reliait la sphère publique de l’État naissant (lui-même renforcé par le culte des anniversaires) à la sphère privée de sa relation avec Mécène et à la sphère solitaire de sa relation à lui-même. À la base, cet article résout deux problèmes soulevés par son dernier poème d''anniversaire, Odes IV, 11, «Le problème de l’offrande de sang » et «Le problème de l’anniversaire » . En révélant l’identification par Horace de ses naissances et renaissances avec celles de Mécène, cet article révèle la nouvelle coordination d''Horace du cosmos, de l’imperium et de l’individu, de manière à clarifier sa poésie, sa nouvelle théologie politique de l’empire et l’histoire du culte des anniversaires.Kachuck Aaron.

Catullus and the Limits of the Light
No full textThis chapter shows : a) how Catullus, especially in the Marriage of Peleus and Thetis, but in ways that are built into the whole of his poetic corpus, thought through what we might term the disenchantment of his world as a whole. b) how this disenchantment was made not only national, but global, through manipulations of the inherited Hellenistic archive of, and contemporary Roman applications of, conceptions of the path of the sun and of solar (political-)theology, and c)how Catullus’ dynamic model of the limits of the light allows him to build on Cicero’s example to connect the cosmic and the (Republican) imperial with himself as individual, thus connecting the public, the private, and the solitary spheres (Kachuck 2021) to explain his place in the world, and that world’s place in him. The devil is in Catullus’ details, and this chapter will not be a study of the cult of the sun Rome—now the subject of a major two-volume study several decades in the works by Steven Hijmans 2023)—but of how Catullus’ poetry does not only reflect what Greeks or Romans thought about or performed in cultic service of the sun, but what about how it makes for itself what the spirits of Virgil’s underworld enjoy, those who “know their own sun, their own stars” (Aen. 6.641 solemque suum, sua sidera norunt). Catullus’ interest in light as a way to structure his world, his thought and his works comes within the particular context of the use of the sun as metaphor for human political leaders in the late Roman Republic, most especially in the works of Cicero, whose first political speech (De imperio Pompeii, 66 BCE) and who’s poem on his first consulate (De consulatu suo, 60 BCE), provide the building-blocks for what will be Catullus’ achievement: thinking through his own place in a world grown larger, and less enchanted, than ever before. Following this, we explain the role of cosmography in Catullus’ works in general, before turning to Catullus 64, and its role within that broader corpus
Uncommon Sense (The Sociological Review Podcast) Season 4, Episode 4: Free Speech, with Aaron Winter
No full textThe Sociological Review Podcast: Uncommon Sense Free Speech, with Aaron Winter Aaron Winter, Rosie Hancock and Alexis Hieu Truong 27th June 2025 About How is the notion of “free speech” abused and misunderstood? What’s wrong with “debate me” culture – and with the value placed on appearing to be “controversial”? And what happens when people who are actually pretty powerful claim they “can’t say anything anymore”? Sociologist Aaron Winter, an expert on racism and the far right, joins Uncommon Sense to discuss all this and more. Showing what sociology has to offer to discussions of “freedom” often found in politics, Aaron describes how “free speech” has been invoked through the decades in North America and Europe, including in the victimisation narratives found in far-right discourse today. Plus, we reflect on the importance of no-platforming, and the need for critical thought when we hear that certain ideas are simply the “voice of the people”. Featuring discussion of Aaron’s work with Aurelien Mondon on “Reactionary Democracy”. Also: celebration of influential American sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, author of “Racism without Racists”, and the UK band The Specials
