- Additional information
- This edited volume is the result of original and rigorous interdisciplinary and collaborative research over a five-year period. It presents new knowledge (exposing the centrality of classical paradigms across a number of media-theoretical works in English, French, and German media studies) and sets a new research agenda (introducing a neglected area of existing interactions between Greco-Roman antiquity and media theory). Both the volume (of which I am sole editor) and the extended opening chapter (sole author) are going to be primary points of reference for research in this area. Being sole editor of the volume means two things. First, overall responsibility for the academic quality and intellectual direction and coherence of the volume: commissioning all contributions, bringing together a multi-disciplinary and multi-national team of scholars, providing feedback throughout the process, revising commissioned translations from French and German, and overseeing the process of engaging with the readers' reports. Second, overseeing all stages in the production of the volume (and the two international events from which it originated): planning, organization, fund-raising, liaising with contributors, translators, copyeditors, etc.
