thersites

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

• 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.
