Description
Isler-Kerényi, Cornelia (2005). Civilizing Violence: Satyrs on 6th-Century Greek Vases.123 Seiten. ISBN 978-3525530665
This book is a sort of „satellite“ to my previous work on Dionysian iconography in 6 th century Greece, Dionysos nella Grecia arcaica. Il contributo delle immagini. It looks different mainly because the illustrations consist not of photographs, but drawings. Being a „satellite“ or companion piece this book is essentially based on the same material as the previous one and therefore utilizes the same images. My aim in using drawings is to put illustration to the foreground: to help the reader follow my argument, which is conceived as a „discourse through the medium of images“. I am very grateful to many colleagues for their stimulating discussions following the lectures on satyrs held in the past years in Switzerland, Italy, Paris and Denmark. Many thanks especially to Pierre Voelke (Lausanne) who made his important book Un theatre de la marge available to me, to Martine Denoyelle (Paris) for new photographs of the Louvre Amphora E 860, the originals of Fig. 29, to Vinzenz Brinkmann (Munich), and, for conversations on the topic, to Fritz Graf (Worthington OH), Fran9ois Lissarrague (Paris), Nanno Marinatos (Chicago) and Richard Seaford (Exeter). I am bound in gratitude to the Cassinelli-Vogel Stiftung in Zurich for sponsoring the translation of my text from Italian into English as well as to Professor Othmar Keel and Professor Christoph Uehlinger for including my text in the OBO-Series. The contribution of Silvia Hertig (Archaeological Institute of the University of Zurich) and of my dear friend Marianne Karabelnik was crucial for this book to be completed.
