Building Domitian’s World: Martial’s Transmediality.
Recent research on cyberworlds suggests that artists create for us a transmedial world as ‘an abstract content systems from which a repertoire of [fictional] stories and characters can be actualized or derived across a variety of media forms’ (Klastrup/Tosca 2004). Audience and designers then share a mental image of the ‘worldness’ (a number of distinguishing features of its universe) that mostly originates from the first version of the world presented, but can be elaborated and changed over time (Klastrup, L. and Tosca, S. 2014). Mapping this fresh theoretical approach onto Flavian literature and Martial’s epigrams in particular I shall suggest a radically new approach: by reading texts such as Martial’s epigrams as cases of transmedial storytelling we will perceive them not as marginal morsels but as “special case[s] of transfictionality” [Ryan defines ‘transfictionality’ as “the migration of fictional entities across different texts, but these texts may belong to the same medium, usually written narrative fiction”] that “operates across many different media” (Ryan 2013). Activities do not necessarily have to be preconceived but can develop over time and can be created by several independent ‘producers,’ including fans. Allowing for collaborative authorship and interpreting Flavian Literature as contributions to worldbuilding rather than derivative poor relatives of greater works or over(t)ly flattering literature but rather as building blocks of Domitian’s image and Flavian Rome.

Seminário dado pelo Professor Christopher Star (Middlebury College, USA): There will come a day: Roman Visions of the Future.
The reverence the Romans had for the past is well known and has long been an area of detailed study. Topics include Roman memory, nostalgia for the lost Republic or for the “good old days” in general. Little attention has been paid to how the Romans envisioned the future, however. When scholars do consider Roman views of the future, they are often briefly grouped into seemingly incompatible categories: a pessimistic expectation of continued decline or hope for an eternal empire or even a return of the golden age.
In this seminar we will investigate the complexity with which the Romans thought about their future from a variety of angles including political, poetic, philosophical and environmental. How long can Rome last? How long can individual poetic fame last? Can human achievements outlast the forces of nature? How does writing about the future in a poem or philosophical text relate to prophecy and the problem of foreknowledge?
We will begin with a few visions of the future from the late Republic (Lucretius and Cicero) and early principate (Vergil and Horace). Our focus will be on texts from the early to mid-first century CE, especially works by Ovid, Seneca, and Lucan, as well as later imitators of Seneca.
