Local Knowledge and Microidentities in the Imperial Greek World (Greek Culture in the Roman World)

Tim Whitmarsh

4.9/5 (22739 ratings)

Description:This book explores the proposition that the absorption of the Greek world into the Roman empire created a new emphasis upon local identities, much as globalisation does today. Localism became the focal point for complex debates: in some cases, it was complementary with imperial objectives, but in others tension exists. The volume as a whole seeks to add texture & nuance to existing literature on Greek identity, which has tended in recent years to emphasise the umbrella category of the Greek, to the detriment of specific poleis' regional identities. It contributes to the literature on the Romanisation of provinces, by emphasising the dialog between a region's self-identification as a distinct space & its selfawareness as a component of the centrally-governed empire.List of IllustrationsNotes on the ContributorsEditor's NoteList of Abbreviations1 Thinking local/ Tim Whitmarsh2 Imperial identities/ Clifford Ando3 What is local identity?
