This volume strives to explore and reexamine , with new approaches, previous discussions in historical, philological, and archaeological research: Why did individuals, groups, or entire communities donate monuments and inscriptions in both private and public spaces? With what intention did individual authors compose their writings and how were these received intertextually? What functions did individual images or (inscribed) objects have for their owners? Given this ample scope, the topics of the essays turn out to be as diverse as their methodology. The authors make use of various neuropsychological models from cognitive science which mostly reaffirm common knowledge, drawn from everyday experience as well as from phenomenological and historical reflection: among them the concepts of “prospective memory”, of “episodic” or “semantic future thinking”, of “future-oriented mental time travel” or of “predictive processing”.

"Future Thinking in Roman Culture is the first volume dedicated to the exploration of prospective memory and future thinking in the Roman world, integrating cutting edge research in cognitive sciences and theory with approaches to historiography, epigraphy, and material culture. This volume opens a new avenue of investigation for Roman memory studies in presenting multiple case studies of memory and commemoration as future-thinking phenomena. It breaks new ground by bringing classical studies into direct dialogue with recent research on cognitive processes of future thinking. The thematically linked but methodologically diverse contributions, all by leading scholars who have published significant work in memory studies of antiquity, both cultural and cognitive, make the volume well-suited for classical studies scholars and students seeking to explore cognitive science and philosophy of mind in ancient contexts, with special appeal to those sharing the growing interest in investigating Roman conceptions of futurity and time. The chapters all deliberately coalesce around the central theme of prospection and future thinking and their impact on our understanding of Roman ritual and religion, politics, and individual motivation and intention. This volume will be an invaluable resource to undergraduate and postgraduate students of classics, art history, archaeology, history, and religious studies, as well as scholars and students of memory studies, historical and cultural cognitive studies, psychology, and philosophy"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
