Beskrivelse
Discover how secrecy shapes the divide between those who are in the know and those who are not. This book delves into the dynamics of hiding and revealing knowledge throughout ancient times.
An in-depth exploration of secrecy and its impact on identity, politics, religion, and literature across Antiquity, Late Antiquity, and the Renaissance.
Secrecy, along with the deliberate acts of concealing and revealing information, plays a crucial role in distinguishing the initiated from the uninitiated. Whether in private relationships or public spheres, political or religious settings, the sharing or withholding of knowledge influences human interactions profoundly.
This volume brings together eleven interdisciplinary essays that examine secrecy through both textual and archaeological evidence. Covering a wide range of social contexts, historical periods, and geographic regions, the book sheds light on how secrecy helps uncover the motives behind identity formation, political propaganda, literary creations, religious rituals, and collective histories.
