thersites

thersites is an international open access journal for innovative transdisciplinary classical studies edited by Annemarie Ambühl, Filippo Carlà-Uhink, Christian Rollinger, Christine Walde and Katharina Wesselmann.

thersites expands classical reception studies by publishing original scholarship free of charge and by reflecting
on Greco-Roman antiquity as present phenomenon and diachronic culture
that is part of today’s transcultural and highly diverse world.
Antiquity, in our understanding, does not merely belong to the past, but
is always experienced and engaged in the present.

thersites
contributes to the critical review on methods, theories, approaches and
subjects in classical scholarship, which currently seems to be
awkwardly divided between traditional perspectives and cultural turns.
thersites
brings together scholars, writers, essayists, artists and all kinds of
agents in the culture industry to get a better understanding of how
antiquity constitutes a part of today’s culture and (trans-)forms our
present.
