The reception of the classical book heritage in the Biography of Despot Stefan Lazarevic of Constantine the Philosopher (of Kostenec) is noticed through the conspicuous reminiscences on classical antiquity, but it is also manifested through the use of artistic procedures of classical literature and the author?s high estimate of the accomplishment of pre-Christian Greek thought. In the first two types of classicism Constantine surpasses other medieval Serbian writers, while in the third he is unique among them, so his relying on classical tradition in this work is the result both of literary conventions caused by the choice of the genre of secular biography and of his belonging to the most liberal section of medieval Christian intellectuals.

The aim of the research is to prove the possibility of transmitting socio-cultural experience between generations during the post-literacy period based on of carnivalization techniques, which are considered as a universal phenomenon that accumulates mythological beliefs and magical (mysterious) actions common to both art and Internet communication texts. This article examines such a feature of the transfer of experience between generations in modern society as pre-figurativeness, which shows the relationship of and relations between ”parents” and ”children” and the features of socialization in this culture (described as the so-called ”cyber-socialization”). The study, based on an analysis of classical literature texts (poetic texts by A. A. Akhmatova), as well as blogs on the livejournal.com and diary.ru platforms, shows that these different texts use speech masks that can identify both the poet and the Network user. The authors also conclude that Internet communication is a special space in which the problem of information security becomes relevant, which is understood through philosophical reflection and brought to the level of philosophical analysis. Keywords: post-literacy era, carnivalization techniques, socio-cultural experience, pre-figurativeness, information security

James McCune Smith, a leading black abolitionist, physician, and intellectual in nineteenth-century America, believed that classical literature could help Americans abolish slavery. Fluent in Greek and Latin, McCune Smith believed that the ancients offered cautionary tales for Americans. Their writings emphasized the urgency of abolishing slavery in America and establishing a “pure Republic” rather than another slave republic. With inspiration from the classical tradition, the U.S. could create a new “republic of letters” defined by a new vision of freedom and democracy. McCune Smith articulated this vision in the abolitionist press, most notably in Frederick Douglass’s Paper, in which he drew heavily from Anacreon, Terence, Virgil, Demosthenes, and Aristotle. The classical tradition could empower blacks and women as much as senators and statesmen.

Italy, for obvious reasons, always kept closer than other countries to ancient classical literature. There the classic spirit was native, for the Italians were always conscious of being the heirs of the ancient Roman Empire; there Humanism and the Renaissance arose; there the counter-Reformation resisted the Protestant spirit of the northern countries; there Arcadian academies and pseudo-classicism flourished. But the Romantic attitude was present in many Italian writers from the Middle Ages on. Petrarch was romantic in his introspective melancholy, Ariosto was romantic in his love of picturesque adventure; yet both are classic in the perfection of their style as well as in their knowledge of antiquity. Thus the two tendencies existed side by side, frequently in the same man, although in theory Italy remained classicist until the end of the eighteenth century. The pre-romantic literature of France, England, and Germany was modified in Italy by the prevalent classical tradition, but it found there a fertile soil. As a literary movement, Romanticism in Italy is best considered as represented by a group of writers in the period which followed the collapse of Napoleon's empire.

El scholástico, written by Cristóbal de Villalón in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, is a typical philosophical treatise of the Renaissance, the most striking evidence of which is its very extensive employment of figures and learning from Classical literature. All but a handful of the 57I different names which appear in El scholástico, and a large majority of all materials used therein, originated in the period before A.D. 500.A complex treatise, approximately two-thirds the length of the New Testament, El scholástico reflects at once a Renaissance ideal and a classical tradition in its setting, literary form, and format. The dialogue, which is essentially Ciceronian in style (although Villalón states that his models for the dialogue were Plato and Macrobius), represents a lengthy interchange between illustrious contemporary scholars of the University of Salamanca.

Abstract Die Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie (ANT) bietet Perspektiven für die Schreibprozessforschung, indem sie erlaubt, die Arbeit am poetischen Text ganz neu zu rekonstruieren. Sie spricht auch Dingen und Ideen ein Wirkungspotential zu. Eine Darstellung der Wirklichkeit als Akteur-Netzwerk wirkt sich auf die Konzepte von Autorschaft aus, indem die Schreibwerkzeuge und Schreibsituationen relevant werden. Dieser Aufsatz erklärt zunächst die impulsgebende Verbindung zwischen Schriftsteller und Schreibgerät nach den Regeln der ANT, bevor weitere Aspekte der Akteur-Netzwerke als wichtig für die Schreibprozessforschung herausgearbeitet werden, nämlich Arbeitserleichterung, Handlungsimpulse und -strukturierung, Prozesshaftigkeit, Wirkungsketten, Flüchtigkeit und Vielfalt der Akteure. Beispiele beziehen sich auf Goethes Vermeiden der Feder, Zehs Aneinanderreihung immer neuer Dateien, Hilsenraths Schreibmaschine und Handkes Bleistift sowie auf die veränderten Bedingungen und Möglichkeiten von Autorschaft im Internet.The Actor-Network Theory (ANT) offers prospects for research into the writing process by allowing new ways to reconstruct how poetic texts were written. ANT awards impact potentials to things and ideas. As such they become parts of networks and thus of a reality that is described only in terms of actor networks. This kind of description has an effect on the concepts of authorship by giving attention to writing tools as well as writing situations. This article first lays the groundwork by explaining a connection of instigation between author and writing instrument according to the rules of ANT, and then points out the relevance of more aspects of actor-networks, specifically work simplification, stimuli and structuring of actions, processuality, functional chains, fleetingness, and variety of actors. Examples refer to Goethe’s avoidance of the traditional quill, Zeh’s concatenation of files, Hilsenrath’s typewriter and Handke’s pencil as well as the changed conditions and options of authorship on the Internet.

This concluding chapter tracks the developments in Arabo-Islamic print culture beginning in the mid-twentieth century. It remarks on some features of postclassical thought which were common enough to mark the era's scholarship in distinct and recognizable ways. It is likely that they contributed, together with the decline of educational institutions and libraries, to the decreasing availability of classical works in the Arabic-speaking world, which further constrained intellectual production by reducing the resources at scholars' disposal. In their righteous zeal, the reformists may well have exaggerated the intellectual weaknesses of their age, but the sincerity of the feeling of liberation and optimism with which they reached into the classical tradition for tonics for present maladies should not be doubted. From there, the chapter turns to more contemporary times and the major technological strides which herald a new renaissance for classical literature.
