How is it possible that the ancient world of classical Greece and Rome became such a dominant force in Western cultural history? This course examines how the classical legacy was contested and admired, rejected and appropriated in strikingly varied ways. The course consists of two parts: the first will pursue a diachronic perspective to investigate the survival of classical culture (including literature, art and material culture) in a Christian age from late antiquity to the modern age. The second part will analyse the various mechanisms of selection and appropriation that have shaped the classical tradition, paying particular attention to the cultural significance of the classical heritage in diverse cultural-historical contexts.

The entrance requirements for Exchange Students will be checked by the International Office and the Programme coordinator. Acceptance is not self-evident.
