Violence, Pleasure, Civilization: Roman Gladiators and the Writing of History
Institution: University of Alberta
Authors: Erin M Stepney, PhD
Category: History of Civilization, Historiography Violence

Abstract This dissertation takes Foucault’s statements regarding political strategies of historical discourse in modernity, from the Enlightenment to the present, and through this lens reads the historiographic study of gladiators as a text which reveals deeper truths about the modern west’s self-image as the seat of ‘civilization’.

This dissertation demonstrates that...
