Описание: During his last two decades (ca. 2 BCE-17 CE), Ovid composed, but never completed, his Fasti, an elegiac representation of Romes rites and festivals: only six of twelve month-books remain. Earlier scholars have claimed that this is due either to Ovids exile from Rome (which put him out of touch with the Roman literary world) or else his frustration over the Roman calendars discontinuity. Drawing upon recent scholarship in gender studies and Lacanian film theory, Richard J. King analyzes this exilic incompletion as inviting the citizen male reader into what he calls an angular or skewed viewpoint, which interrogates the Roman hierarchical and male-dominated social order, insofar as it is mirrored in the Roman calendar of rites and festivals. Ovid (already well known and even infamous as the composer of erotic poems and the Metamorphoses) does this by emulating the civic gesture of calendar presentation, whereby upwardly mobile adult male citizens caused calendars to be carved in stone and set up in conspicuous public places to reflect the citys pride and to build their own prestige as public figures. In this innovative study, King discusses the Fasti as Ovids socially strategic use of this gesture. Interrupted by exile and filled with varying explanations of Roman festivals, Ovids poetic version manifests a form whose brokenness comments on the fractured identity of the exiled poet and citizen subjects generally in an imperial order ambivalent toward its greatest poet.
Desiring Rome expands upon recent recognition of the Fastis centrality to early imperial politics by situating the poems failure within broader negotiations of identity between early imperial citizen-subjects and the cultural ideology of Roman manhood.
