Roman Social Imaginaries

"This book seeks to initiate two conversations about Roman antiquity, one of which might be described as substantive, the other as concerning method. The two are complexly intertwined. At a substantive level, the chapters focus on a set of topics - "belonging," "cognition," and "the ontology of the social" - as well as a series of subsidiary issues - political and ethnic identity, territoriality, geographic contiguity and conceptual affinity, consent and normativity, materiality and metaphysics - that stand in oblique relation to the explicit concerns of Roman political and legal thought, but which have been, and are today, central to social an political theory."
