The purpose of this dissertation is to provide a critical analysis and evaluation of the Satyricon of Petronius, by placing it in its historical, literary, and artistic context. Neronian taste therefore becomes the unifying theme around which the chapters are organized. Chapter One immerses Petronius within the cultural pursuits of Nero's aula, while Chapter Two pursues the question of court literary taste. Chapter Three consists of a Campanian Commentary to the Cena Trimalchionis and thus explicates the Neronian arts of etiquette and leisure. The Appendix re-evaluates the strong evidence for a Neronian dating of the work and for the identification of the consular T. Petronius Niger as both author of the Satyricon and Nero's elegantiae arbiter. This dissertation reflects the position that the Satyricon is an example of literary nalyvLa, a non-serious court amusement, which takes as its central theme the "refer to document" motif so typical of ancient symposium literature and likewise appropriate to the emperor's own predilections. The work fits well within the tastes of Roman "refer to document", the unbroken line of aristocrats, who, from the period of the late Republic, left the Capitol to pursue pleasures both cultural and physical in the resort cities of campania. The thesis is advanced that Petronius came to prominence as Seneca faded from favour, and that the Satyricon replaced Seneca's worthier tragedies and treatises as a court entertainment. Evidence from the Epistulae Morales of Seneca, written after his retirement, indicates that the former tutor of Nero made plaintive criticisms against the low habits both of language and lifestyle in which the aula indulged under the influence of Tigellinus and Petronius. The nature of the Neronian literary Renaissance is surveyed with special emphasis upon the impact of Nero's personal taste upon letters. Neronian literature, regardless of the author or genre in question, strives to achieve the effect of pathos, nostalgie de la boue, theatrical exaggeration, and naturalism naive to the point of embarrassment. Petronius displays all of these characteristics as he narrates his tale of the graeculus, Encolpius, who, like the artist-emperor, finds himself trapped within the constraints of the Roman cultural climate. Petronius combines the genres of Roman Menippean satire and Greek prose fiction into a graphic melange of the foibles of his age. Chapter three comprises a social commentary to the Cena Trimalchionis in which the Cena is qescribed against the backdrop of its Campanian locale. The many homely details of his life, his house and its furnishings, which Trimalchio relates, are compared to the extant archaeological evidence for life at Pompeii, Herculaneum, Puteoli, and the other towns of the Phlegraean Fields. The commentary is intended for use in the classroom at the university level. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The Temple of Janus was an important and symbolic temple in Rome. The doors served as an index for peace and war and were either opened or closed accordingly. The only contemporary depiction of the temple is the Neronian coins that were struck in 64/5 CE in both Rome and Lugdunum in celebration of Nero’s defeat of the Parthians. This coin type is the only evidence that we have left of the Temple of Janus since the temple is lost and has no remains left. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the depictions of the temple on these coins to discover the most reliable and accurate representation of the Temple of Janus since they are the only evidence left of its appearance. By discovering the exact order of striking and observing how the appearance of the temple changed over time in the earliest Neronian sestertii, I will attempt to uncover the most accurate depiction of the Temple of Janus. The architectural features present on the earliest dies, which will be discovered by means of a die study, will be further analyzed by un-manipulating its numismatic representation; this is because die engravers had certain working methods that they would use to manipulate the appearance in order to depict a large monument on such a small medium. I will then undo these changes made to the depiction of the temple in order to discover the true architectural features of the temple and therefore reconstruct the lost Temple of Janus and uncover its original appearance. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

Este trabalho é um estudo da escravidão no principado de Nero (54-68 d.C.), centrando-se nas conexões entre o campo político e o campo das relações escravistas na Roma imperial. Considera-se, portanto, o Alto Império, do ponto de vista do desenvolvimento da escravidão, não como um período estático, mas caracterizado por tensões políticas de diferentes graus no que concerne à situação social de escravos e libertos. Do ponto de vista estrutural, o trabalho divide-se em duas partes principais: 1) exposição e crítica do conceito de sociedade escravista como aplicado ao Império Romano, 2) análise das fontes literárias contemporâneas e posteriores a Nero. O objetivo é apontar a circunscrição do conceito de sociedade escravista à cidade de Roma e a necessidade da inclusão da manumissão como seu principal componente. / This work is a study about slavery during the Principate of Nero (AD 54-68), focusing upon the connections between politics and master-slave relationships in imperial Rome. The Early Roman Empire is not thus considered as a static period, but characterized by political tensions concerning the social position of slaves and freedmen. From a structural point of view, the work is divided in two main parts: 1) exposition and critique of the concept of slave society as applied to the Roman Empire, 2) analysis of the contemporary and later literary sources relating to the Principate of Nero. The ultimate objective is to point out the circumscription of a concept of slave society to the city of Rome as well as highlight manumission as its main component.

Los resultados permiten reflexionar en torno a la pregunta por la relevancia del genero sexual en el estudio psicol?gico en la actualidad, considerando que la identidad de genero es una dimensi?n central de la personalidad del sujeto en tanto opera en su desarrollo como articulador de la pulsi?n, el lugar del otro y la adaptaci?n a roles sociales. El estudio relaciona representaciones de g?nero, motivo de consulta y otras caracter?sticas de la personalidad se?aladas en los informes, obteniendo informaci?n sobre representaciones de funciones sociales asociadas a los g?neros sexuales, como son funciones paterna, materna, sexual, que involucran grados de regulaci?n cognitiva, emocional, pulsional y afectiva, entre otras.

Though, they cannot also be considered as fixed categories and given by culture. It is precisely within the discursive and cultural character of the gender technologies that such technologies are never considered ready, but always in construction within culture. Gender technologies have direct relation to the sexual representation of sexualities and to what Foucault (2012a) calls mechanism of sexuality, as its ramifications (the regulation of the bodies and the interpellation, for example), and make the subversion of the identity possible. For the keeping of such technologies, the reiteration within culture and discourse is constantly necessary, and for that the theory of gender performativity, as postulated by Butler (2015a) accounts for the complex process of ?maintaining the gender? of a certain individual. Such process consists of a series of cultural and discursive acts performed, up to a certain point, intentionally, by the subject as a product of gender technologies. These acts are regulated by what Althusser (1980) names ?ideological State apparatuses? and they seem to be in consensus with the current norm. To Rich (2010) this norm is called heteronormativity and is always compulsory, its work is to regulate bodies, identities and genders, however this regulation collects its price by the obliteration of certain existences. This paper proposes a queer reading of The first bad man, a novel by the north-american writer Miranda July, to discuss the way the character Cheryl Glickman?s gender is constructed and deconstructed along the narrative and if the novel contemplates only the binary expressions of gender (male and female), or if July sees other gender identities, although marginal, possible. / Tecnologias de g?nero s?o para Lauretis (1994) vistas como constru??es culturais e discursivas que n?o est?o a priori em rela??o ao sujeito; por?m, tampouco podem ser consideradas como categorias fixas e dadas pela cultura. O car?ter discursivo e cultural das tecnologias de g?nero ? que faz com que tais tecnologias nunca se encontrem prontas, mas em constante constru??o na cultura. As tecnologias de g?nero t?m rela??o direta com as representa??es das sexualidades e com o que Foucault (2012a) denomina dispositivo da sexualidade, assim como seus desdobramentos (a regula??o dos corpos e a interpela??o, por exemplo), e fazem a identidade pass?vel de subvers?o. Para que tais tecnologias sejam mantidas, ? necess?rio que sejam reiteradas a todo o momento na cultura e no discurso, para isso a teoria da performatividade de g?nero, como postulada por Butler (2015a), dar? conta de elucidar o complexo processo de ?manter o g?nero? de um determinado sujeito. Tal processo consiste em uma s?rie de atos culturais e discursivos realizados, at? certa medida intencionalmente, pelo sujeito enquanto um produto das tecnologias de g?nero. Estes atos s?o regulados pelo que Althusser (1980) denomina ?aparelhos ideol?gicos do Estado? e parecem estar em consenso com uma norma vigente. Para Rich (2010), essa norma s? ? poss?vel enquanto heteronormatividade, e esta ? sempre compuls?ria. Seu trabalho ? o de regular os corpos, as identidades e os g?neros. No entanto, essa regula??o cobra o pre?o do apagamento de certas exist?ncias. Este trabalho prop?e uma leitura queer de O primeiro homem mau, romance da autora estadunidense Miranda July, para discutir de que maneira o g?nero da personagem Cheryl Glickman, a protagonista do romance, ? constru?do e desconstru?do ao longo da narrativa e se o romance d? conta apenas das express?es de g?nero bin?rias (masculino e feminino), ou se July v? como poss?vel outras identidades de g?nero, embora marginais.
