| Summary: | "The Language of Objects sheds new light on the sub-genre of Greek descriptive epigram, focusing on deixis as a springboard to understanding three different approaches to the materiality of texts: imagination-oriented deixis, pointing to referents conjured in the readers' mind; ocular deixis, addressing perceivable referents; displaced deixis, underscoring the subjective response of readers/viewers. Uniquely combining overlooked verse-inscriptions and well-known literary and inscribed texts, which are freshly reexamined through a cognitive lens, this volume explores the evolution of deixis in descriptive epigrams from the pre-Hellenistic to the Late Antique periods. It makes an innovative contribution to the study of Greek epigram and to wider studies of deixis in ancient literary and inscribed poetry"-- |
