Abstract

This book investigates the linguistic and formal aspects of more than a thousand requests for justice and protection preserved in Egyptian papyri of the Roman Principate, mainly written in Greek. For many centuries in Egypt, from the Ptolemaic period to the late Roman Empire, petitions addressed to the judicial authorities shared the same textual structure and made use of recurring lexical formulas. Such uniformity was the result of the adherence by scribes and legal advisers to repertoires that had wide circulation. This study evaluates the correspondence between the formulas of the petitions and legislation, normative conventions, and spoken and literary language, and how these factors interacted with each other over the centuries. Il volume prende in esame gli aspetti linguistici e formali di più di mille domande di giustizia e tutela conservate dai papiri egiziani dell’epoca del principato, prevalentemente scritte in greco. Per molti secoli in Egitto, dall’epoca tolemaica fino al tardo impero romano, le petizioni indirizzate alle autorità giudiziarie impiegano una stessa struttura testuale ed espressioni ricorrenti: tale uniformità era risultato dell’uso di repertori condivisi da parte di scribi e consulenti legali. Questo studio valuta analiticamente quali corrispondenze il lessico e le formule dei documenti avevano con legislazione, convenzioni normative, lingua parlata e letteraria, e in quale modo questi fattori interagirono tra loro attraverso i secoli.

Abstract

"In Complaint! Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what does happen. To make complaints within institutions is to learn how they work and for whom they work: complaint as feminist pedagogy. Ahmed explores how complaints are made behind closed doors and how doors are often closed upon those who complain. To open these doors, to get complaints through, keep them going, or keep them alive, Ahmed emphasizes, requires forming new kinds of collectives. The book offers a systematic analysis of the methods used to stop complaints and a powerful and poetic meditation on what complaints can be used to do. Following a long lineage of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed delivers a timely consideration of how institutional change becomes possible and why it is necessary"--
