In sum, this book makes an important contribution to the analysis of the Aeneid.... It deserves the close attention and lively interest of all scholars of the Aeneid. -- Bryn Mawr Classical Review One of the masterpieces of Latin and, indeed, world literature, Virgil's Aeneid was written during the Augustan "renaissance" of architecture, art, and literature that redefined the Roman world in the early years of the empire. This period was marked by a transition from the use of rhetoric as a means of public persuasion to the use of images to display imperial power. Taking a fresh approach to Virgil's epic poem, Riggs Alden Smith argues that the Aeneid fundamentally participates in the Augustan shift from rhetoric to imagery because it gives primacy to vision over speech as the principal means of gathering and conveying information as it recounts the heroic adventures of Aeneas, the legendary founder of Rome. Working from the theories of French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Smith characterizes Aeneas as a voyant-visible, a person who both sees and is seen and who approaches the world through the faculty of vision. Engaging in close readings of key episodes throughout the poem, Smith shows how Aeneas repeatedly acts on what he sees rather than what he hears. Smith views Aeneas' final act of slaying Turnus, a character associated with the power of oratory, as the victory of vision over rhetoric, a triumph that reflects the ascendancy of visual symbols within Augustan society. Smith's new interpretation of the predominance of vision in the Aeneid makes it plain that Virgil's epic contributes to a new visual culture and a new mythology of Imperial Rome.

The primacy of vision in Virgil's Aeneid
رغم ان هذا الكتاب صدر ÙÙŠ أوائل التسعينات .. الا انني أعتقد انه اÙضل كتاب ÙÙŠ تناول تاريخ السياسية الاستعمارية Ùˆ الإمبريالية الأمريكية.
يكش٠الكتاب ÙÙŠ Øوالي 460 صÙØØ© الاستعمار Ùˆ الغزو ÙÙŠ ظل النظام العالمي الجديد. Ùˆ يتناول السياسية الامريكية Ùˆ الاستعمارية Ùˆ ممارسات الإبادة القائمة Øتى يومنا هذا -وان اختل٠الشكل - منذ رØلة كولومبس المشؤومة. ربما كان سيتضاع٠عدد الصÙØات مرتين على اقل تقدير ان كتب تشومسكي هذا الكتاب عام 2008 بعد Øقبة جورج دبليو بوش .. اØØ· وغد من الاوغاد الذين ترأسوا الولايات المتØدة الأمريكية. يتناول هذا الكتاب هذه المواضيع Ùˆ غيرها باسلوب تشومسكي ذو السخرية الشديدة Ùˆ اللاذعة. وكي٠ينظر لدول العالم الثالث Ùˆ دورها ÙÙŠ ظل النظام الجديد . Ùهي مصدر للخامات الرخيصة بما ÙÙŠ ذلك العمال .. Ùˆ سوق استثمارية للشركات الكبرى لزيادة ارباØها ..ومكب للنÙايات .. Ùˆ اقصى ما تستطيع ان تكونه هذه الدول هو ان تعمل ككلب Øراسة للسيد الوضيع. هذا الكتاب ÙŠÙˆØ¶Ø Ø§Ù„Ù‰ اي مدى من الوقاØØ© هم الساسة الأمريكيين عندما يتØدثون عن الديمقراطية Ùˆ Øقوق الإنسان. انهم اكثر وقاØØ© من عاهرة تتØدث عن الشرÙ.
