SUMMARY:“Respublica Rediviva: Plato and the Guaraní of Paraguay.” | Michael Brumbaugh
DESCRIPTION:Looking for Utopia around every corner of the “New World\,” 17th and 18th century Europeans saw in the Jesuit-Guaraní Republic of Paraguay an ancient Greek polity nestled deep within the heart of Spanish America. This talk examines the evolution of that European narrative as well as the carefully crafted response that emerged from the Americas in the form of a treatise comparing the Guaraní way of life with Plato’s Republic and Laws. Penned by a professor of rhetoric who had lived among the Guaraní\, this work offers a nuanced rebuke of philosophes by figuring them as dangerous ideologues whose misappropriation of the ancient and new worlds threatened to destroy Europe. \nThis talk is a part of the series “Classics | Receptions | Borders”. This series showcases some of the work being done by early-career scholars that explores how the ancient world negotiated cultural boundaries and conversely how classical antiquity has been received in colonial and post-colonial arenas.

SUMMARY:"The Power of Names in Republican Rome" | Jane Chaplin
DESCRIPTION:For readers of Livy and students of Roman republican history\, the idea that names revealed character and foretold behavior is familiar: a Manlius Torquatus can be expected to treat his son severely\, and a Publius Decius Mus to devote himself in a close battle.  Names as destiny and gentilicial traits culminated in Mark Antony’s reference to Caesar’s heir as the boy who owed everything to his name\, as well as to the later ban on Marcus as a praenomen for the Antonii.  But just how was it that two men named Scipio Africanus took similarly erratic paths through the cursus honorum\, raised armies without public funds\, defeated Carthage\, and even had a Gaius Laelius as a best friend? This talk puts the similarities between the elder and younger Scipios in the context of Roman beliefs about names and family traits and argues that Aemilianus built on and contributed to those ideas in constructing his political success.
