    Pindar and the Cult of Heroes combines a study of Greek culture and religion (hero cult) with a literary-critical study of Pindar's epinician poetry. It looks at hero cult generally, but focuses especially on heroization in the 5th century BC. There are individual chapters on the heroization of war dead, of athletes, and on the religious treatment of the living in the 5th century. Hero cult, Bruno Currie argues, could be anticipated, in different ways, in a person'slifetime. Epinician poetry too should be interpreted in the light of this cultural context; fundamentally, this genre explores the

    This collection of essays examines the vogue for games and game playing as expressed in art, architecture, and literature in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe. Moving beyond previous scholarship on game theory, game monographs, and period and regional studies on games, this volume analyzes a range of artistic and literary works produced in England, Scotland, Italy, France, and Germany, which used the game topos to illuminate special themes. In essays dealing with chess, playing cards, dice, gambling, and board and children's games, scholars show how games not only functioned as recreational pastimes, but were also used for demonstrations of wit and skill, courtship rituals, didactic and moralistic instruction, commercial enterprises, and displays of status. Offering new iconographical and literary interpretations, these studies reveal how game play became a metaphor for broader cultural issues related to gender, age, and class differences, social order, politics and religion, and ethical and sexual behavior

    The puzzles of Lewis Carroll -- Riddles, anagrams, and acrostics -- The doublet -- Logic -- Mathematics -- Miscellaneous -- Nonsense. "Lewis Carroll is known mainly for his children's novels and poems. Throughout these ingenious works he interspersed riddles, math and logic games, and a host of other puzzles, reflecting his interest in the ludic (playful) imagination. It is not widely known that Carroll is one of the greatest puzzle makers of history, composing them not only for children, but also for adults in magazines, periodicals, and books. One of his puzzle masterpieces is the so-called doublet puzzle, which he wrote for Vanity Fair, and is still one of the most loved wordplay games to this day. There have been various anthologies of Carroll's puzzles in recent decades, but virtually no study of their importance as part of a unique "puzzle art" exists. This book aims to examine this art as it manifests itself in Carroll's many puzzle creations, both within his novels, and in his many other writings. It dissects the blend of logic and imagination that he employs in creating riddles, anagrams, acrostics, math puzzles, logic games, and a host of other puzzle genres-all of which are discussed in the book. The main theme is that Carroll's literary writings cannot be truly grasped without taking into account his puzzle art"--

    Die Literatur ist in ihrer formalen Gestalt wie auf inhaltlicher Ebene in komplexer Weise auf das Spiel und Spielen bezogen. In Erzählungen und Romanen verdichten sich Spielpraktiken zu prägnanten Metaphoriken moderner Kontingenzerfahrungen, indizieren aber auch das Spiel mit ästhetischen Verfahren und Genres. Die Beiträger_innen des Bandes liefern exemplarische Analysen zu diesen Leistungen der literarischen Spiel-Kultur sowie sozialpsychologische Forschungsansätze zu den Transformationen des Spiels in der Digitalkultur. Damit verdeutlichen sie, in welchem Ausmaß die Vorstellungen vom Spiel als (selbst-)reflexive Subjektivierungstechnik in einer veränderten medialen Umwelt hinfällig geworden ist Frontmatter -- Inhalt -- Zur Einführung -- »Gardez la dame!« - »Cherchez la femme!« -- Der Serienverbrecher als Spieler -- Kombinatorische Spiele zwischen Zufall und Planung -- Literarisches Sprachspiel -- Schach, Spiel -- Ist denn das Leben ein Argument, wenn es die Kunst gilt? -- Virtuelle Realität, das Spiel der Zukunft -- Von Pong zur Panik? -- Autorinnen und Autoren

    The puzzles of Lewis Carroll -- Riddles, anagrams, and acrostics -- The doublet -- Logic -- Mathematics -- Miscellaneous -- Nonsense. "Lewis Carroll is known mainly for his children's novels and poems. Throughout these ingenious works he interspersed riddles, math and logic games, and a host of other puzzles, reflecting his interest in the ludic (playful) imagination. It is not widely known that Carroll is one of the greatest puzzle makers of history, composing them not only for children, but also for adults in magazines, periodicals, and books. One of his puzzle masterpieces is the so-called doublet puzzle, which he wrote for Vanity Fair, and is still one of the most loved wordplay games to this day. There have been various anthologies of Carroll's puzzles in recent decades, but virtually no study of their importance as part of a unique "puzzle art" exists. This book aims to examine this art as it manifests itself in Carroll's many puzzle creations, both within his novels, and in his many other writings. It dissects the blend of logic and imagination that he employs in creating riddles, anagrams, acrostics, math puzzles, logic games, and a host of other puzzle genres-all of which are discussed in the book. The main theme is that Carroll's literary writings cannot be truly grasped without taking into account his puzzle art"--

    This collection of essays examines the vogue for games and game playing as expressed in art and literature in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe. Focusing on games as a leitmotif of creative expression, these scholarly inquiries are framed as a response to two main questions: how were games used to convey special meanings in art and literature, and how did games speak to greater issues in European society? In chapters dealing with chess, playing cards, board games, dice, gambling, and outdoor and sportive games, essayists show how games were used by artists, writers, game makers and collectors, in the service of love and war, didactic and moralistic instruction, commercial enterprise, politics and diplomacy, and assertions of civic and personal identity. Offering innovative iconographical and literary interpretations, their analyses reveal how games 'played, written about, illustrated and collected' functioned as metaphors for a host of broader cultural issues related to gender relations and feminine power, class distinctions and status, ethical and sexual comportment, philosophical and religious ideas, and conditions of the mind.
