  1. Re-Enactments of the Prologue in cupid's Palace: An Immersive Reading of Apuleius’ Story of Cupid and Psyche.Aldo Tagliabue - 2021 - Classical Quarterly 71 (2):799-818.
    This article offers a new interpretation of Apuleius’ story of Cupid and Psyche. Most scholars have previously offered a second-time reading of this story, according to which the reader reaches Book 11 and then looks back at Psyche's story of fall and redemption as a parallel for Lucius’ life.

Then I consider the ‘non-locative’ information that the poet conveys about the landscapes of the Shield. In this connection I develop Barbara Tversky's notion of landscape (...)

  • Nec Cogitare Sed Facere: The Paradox of Fiction at the Tribunal of Ancient Poetics.Pia Campeggiani - 2020 - Theoria 86 (6):709-726.
    The place of emotions in aesthetic response has long been a topic in contemporary philosophical theorizing. One aspect of the debate in particular seems to have become a recalcitrant problem: when experiencing fiction, we experience emotional reactions towards what we know not to exist. Is this rational? In fact, is it even possible? This article deals with the so‐called “paradox of fiction” from the viewpoint of ancient poetics. In the first section, I survey some of the main arguments proposed to (...)
