Privata Luxuria

Beschreibung

Privacy is a widely debated concept today, and a paramount concern for modern societies: the ideas and prerogatives that it encapsulates are considered, nowadays, to be essential human rights and key issues when defining the mutual relationship between the individual and society at large. In order to investigate the boundaries and nuances of privacy in the Roman society, the city of Pompeii provides a rare case in point, due to the extraordinary concentration and readability of contextual archaeological data. The aim of this volume which originated from an International Workshop held at the Center for Advanced Studies of the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, is to contribute to a better knowledge of the domestic space in Pompeii and other cities of the Roman world as mirrored by the interplay between individual and social spaces. To this purpose, a small group of researchers from a variety of backgrounds and traditions have been invited to contribute papers on different aspects of privacy, emphasizing diversity in methodologies and approaches.

Si les thèmes traités ne sont pas entièrement neufs, l’angle d’étude et les questions soulevées permettent cependant de les aborder sous des aspects parfois inédits. Ce livre offre donc, comme l’annonce l’éditrice dans sa préface, le résulatat d’une discussion visant à créer un terrain commun pour traiter du problème de l’espace privé dans la vie domestique des Romains.

This collection demonstrates well how little we know about Roman houses and what happened in them. Some answers to old questions have been presented, but it seems that more new questions emerge. Nevertheless, combining literary evidence with archaeological material for studying different kinds of activities or types of rooms ultimately affords us a better understanding of how ancient Romans lived.

Was [...] geboten wird, sind Beiträge zum Thema ›Konstruktion und Organisation des Alltagslebens in Häußern Pompejis (und darüber hinaus)‹. [...] Im Band werden also Linien weiter verfolgt, die vor allem seit den 1990er Jahren in den Vordergrund der Forschung gerückt sind.
