2	Saturnalia as political discourse in Martial, Pliny, and Dio Chrysostom Pasco, Ryan 20 September 2023 (has links) Concerns regarding political ‘enslavement’ and imperial constraints on free speech are especially palpable in the literature that follows the emperor Domitian’s assassination in 96 C.E. Under his successors, Nerva and Trajan, authors worked to differentiate the post-Domitianic age from the prior era of metaphorical enslavement and suppressed speech. Scholars have studied some of the ways in which Neronian and Flavian authors employed literary accounts of the Saturnalia, a festival characterized by temporary license and the notional transformation of social roles, to criticize individual rulers and thematize issues of imperial control. Yet they have not fully appreciated the pervasive use of literary Saturnalia in Flavian and post-Flavian political discourse. I examine the Saturnalia as a political metaphor in five texts: Martial’s Domitianic Epigrams 5 and Nervan Epigrams 11, Pliny’s Trajanic Epistles and Panegyricus, and Dio Chrysostom’s Trajanic fourth Oration. In Epigrams 5, Martial thematizes the circumscription of Saturnalian freedom to highlight limits to his poetic expression under Domitian. Later, in his Epigrams 11, Martial’s presentation of the Nervan regime as an age of ‘Saturnalia,’ a festival whose freedoms are inherently temporary, signifies anxiety about whether post-Domitianic freedom from imperial ‘enslavement’ will be short-lived. In the Panegyricus, Pliny praises Trajan for reasserting the social hierarchies that had become troublingly eroded under the dystopic ‘Saturnalia’ of Domitian. Through Pliny’s depiction of domestic Saturnalian celebrations in Epistles 2.17, the senator proves that the perverse ‘Saturnalia’ that plagued imperial life before Trajan are no more. Finally, in Orations 4, Dio Chrysostom uses circumscribed Saturnalian freedom not only as a metaphor for the limited political authority available to Greeks, but also to valorize his own Greek wisdom as essential to Trajan’s correction of shameful ‘Saturnalian’ rule. The authors in this study, although writing from different personal and generic perspectives, depict metaphorical Saturnalia to articulate the distressing limits of freedom under imperial rule or—in the case of Pliny and Dio—to burnish the image of the anti-Saturnalian ruler Trajan. My dissertation demonstrates that literary representations of the Saturnalia occupy a far more important role in imperial Greek and Roman understandings of autocracy than has been previously appreciated.

3	A Festa de Saturno: o Xênia e o Apoforeta de Marcial / The party of Saturn: Xenia and Apophoreta by Marcial Agnolon, Alexandre 13 September 2013 (has links) Trataremos de dois livros de epigramas do poeta latino Marcial: Xênia e Apoforeta, dados a lume, respectivamente, nas Saturnais de 83 (ou 84) e 85 d.C. sob o principado de Domiciano. Nosso objetivo, em primeiro lugar, será discutir as características intensamente apotropaicas e propiciatórias tanto das Saturnais, como do próprio deus Saturno a despeito dos elementos lúgubres comumente a ele associados , para, em seguida, tentar demonstrar de que maneira a festividade romana interfere na fruição dos epigramas que compõem as referidas recolhas e exige que o poeta abandone, temporariamente, a comum acerbidade de seus versos. Tanto pelas Saturnais constituírem o princípio de unidade desses livros, como por Marcial buscar emular um conjunto de tratados antigos de natureza jocosa, populares durante os festejos consagrados a Saturno, acreditamos que o poeta legitima a existência de novo subgênero epigramático que é corolário das próprias Saturnais romanas. No final, apresentamos, como resultado de nossa investigação, tradução poética de Xênia e Apoforeta, inédita em língua portuguesa. / We will discuss two books of epigrams by the Latin poet Martial: Xenia and Apophoreta, published, respectively, in the Saturnalia of 83 (or 84) and 85 A.D. under the reign of Domitian. Our goal, in the first place, is to discuss the highly apotropaic and propitiatory features of both the Saturnalia, as the god Saturn itself despite the gloomy elements commonly associated with him. Then well try to demonstrate how the Roman festival interferes with the fruition of the epigrams in these collections, and demands that the poet abandons temporarily the common poignancy of his verses. Not only because Saturnalia constitute the principle of unity of these books, but because Martial seek to emulate a set of ancient treatises of facetious nature, popular during the festival dedicated to Saturn, we believe that the poet legitimate the existence of new epigrammatic subgenre which is corollary of the very Roman Saturnalia. Finally, we will present as a result of our investigation an original translation into Portuguese verse of Xenia and Apophoreta.
