Jenseits von Pharsalos
Untersuchungen zu Heterotopie und Dialogizität in Lucans Bellum Civile
Lucan’s Bellum Civile is a contradictory and at times frustrating epic. Dominated by a prominent and vocal narrating voice constantly anticipating possible stances toward the text and reducing these to absurdity, it seems to have little room for purpose and meaning.
This book sets itself the task to demonstrate a possible escape from this perplexity: Building on the concepts of Heterotopia according to Michel Foucault and Dialogism according to Mikhail Bakhtin, it is shown how alternative voices open up other spaces within the epic – and in doing so for its readers also create new ways of dealing with the text.
