Drawing on sociological and critical theory, Zinon Papakonstantinou outlines a framework for the interaction between curse tablets and legalities, namely in both formal and informal manifestations of the legal sphere, in Classical Athens. By delving into the complex world of Athenian daily life and disputes, Papakonstantinou argues that Athenians involved in litigation deployed binding curses as polysemic acts of conflict management and information control. They also used them as transgressive transcripts that went beyond normative or legislative taxonomies. Further, Papakonstantinou demonstrates how Athenians acting in a self-assessing and long-term agential mode employed curse tablets strategically to advance their individual agenda and position in Athenian society. As a result, Athenian legal curse tablets point to a conceptually malleable perception of "law" and "litigation" driven by utility and self-interest that clashed with claims to justice, the pursuit of the rule of law, and attitudes towards jurors articulated by litigants in Athenian forensic orations" -- $c Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of $z Athens $z Athens $x History. 650 0 $a Social conflict $z Athens $z Athens $x History. 650 0 $a Blessing and cursing $z Athens $z Athens $x History. 651 0 $a Athens (Greece) 650 7 $a Blessing and cursing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834275 650 7 $a Justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985154 650 7 $a Social conflict. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122378 651 7 $a Greece $z Athens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204474 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $z 9783515129190 $i e-book version 830 0 $a Hamburger Studien zu Gesellschaften und Kulturen der Vormoderne ; $v Bd.14. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015513.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B8CF22CFFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
