Sat, Apr 5: Trevor Luke (Florida State University) and Graduate Conference
3 p.m. - 6 p.m.
BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY, Lown Auditorium 2, 415 South Street, Waltham, MA 02453
"Emperors and Impostors: Capturing Identity in the Ancient Mediterranean"
Captivity narratives regarding Israelite slaves in Egypt, Greeks in
Afghanistan, and European settlers seized by natives have long served to
explore distinctions and establish differences of cultural identity.
Following his victory at Actium in 31 BCE, the emperor Augustus assumed the
role of supreme arbiter of identity in the Roman empire. Thereafter,
Romans, anxious to affirm hierarchies of identity and imperial dominance,
continued to portray others as captives who were subject to Roman power.
The lecture explores the way in which literary depictions of encounters
between emperors and captive impostors in the works of Josephus and Tacitus
both affirmed and also interrogated imperial identities.
This talk is the keynote address for the Graduate Conference: "Pride and
Prejudice: Difference and Distinction in the Ancient Mediterranean"
Free and Open to the Public. For more information or directions, please
contact Heidi McAllister (hmallister(a)brandeis.edu) or Ann Olga
Koloski-Ostrow (aoko(a)brandeis.edu) or the graduate student organizers:
