La sua poetica appare meno rettilinea, ma più dialogante, alla ricerca di una via per uscire dalla gabbia dello stereotipo erotico: e se non così 'difficile' come in passato risulta la sua adesione alle direttive augustee, più ricca appare la strumentazione posta in atto da Properzio per nutrire la propria vocazione, per cercare una strada autonoma: far risuonare nella propria la voce virgiliana ma con un mutato orientamento, una nuova discorsività. Del resto, dobbiamo prepararci a pensare in termini rinnovati o perlomeno più definiti lo stesso personaggio Properzio: un Sesto Properzio finanzia in età augustea o giulio-claudia la costruzione in Assisi di un teatro probabilmente legato alla Domus Musae. Così, la prosopografia properziana si profila strettamente intrecciata alla storia della letteratura di età imperiale, e può gettare luce anche sui possibili consumatori di poesia elegiaca.

Meanwhile, across the globe at least half of the world’s population lives in urban agglomerations, and urbanisation is still expanding. This book engages with the complex interplay between urbanisation and inequality. In doing so it concentrates on the Low Countries, one of the oldest and most urbanised societies of Europe. It questions whether the historic poly-nuclear and decentralised urban system of the Low Countries contributed to specific outcomes in social inequality. In doing so, the authors look beyond the most commonly used perspective of economic inequality. They instead expand our knowledge by exploring social inequality from a multidimensional perspective. This book includes essays and case-studies on cultural inequalities, the relationship between social and consumption inequality, the politics of (in)equality, the impact of shocks and crises, as well as the complex social relationships across the urban network and between town and countryside.

Cette œuvre, à caractère propédeutique et déclinée en plusieurs versions au fil des générations, nous donne un bon aperçu du raffinement pédagogique qui était alors en usage dans l’école néoplatonicienne. Les définitions et les divisions de la philosophie qu’on y lisait avaient pour but de donner un avant-goût du cursus philosophique et de l’orientation exégétique adoptée par l’enseignant. Cette littérature isagogique dont l’influence s’est étendue jusqu’aux sphères culturelles de langue arabe et syriaque, reste encore le « parent pauvre » des études néoplatoniciennes, alors qu’elle renferme encore des aspects méconnus qui demandent à être élucidées et approfondis. Ce volume, qui réunit cinq contributions, vise donc à clarifier certaines questions clés susceptibles d’apporter un éclairage nouveau sur la naissance, l’évolution et la diffusion de cette œuvre représentative du savoir-faire pédagogique de l’Antiquité tardive.
