Neighbourhoods and City Quarters in Antiquity
De Gruyter (Verlag)
978-3-11-123802-9 (ISBN)
DECOR ist die erste Reihe, die sich umfassend Decor-Phänomenen widmet. Dabei werden Decor-Formen nicht als isolierte Einzelelemente, sondern in ihrem räumlich-architektonischen und visuellen Wirkzusammenhang betrachtet. Diese Herangehensweise dient als Ausgangspunkt für eine differenzierte Analyse von Bild- bzw. Decor-Räumen. Der geographische Fokus liegt auf Italien, der chronologische Rahmen reicht vom 2. Jh. v.Chr. bis zum späten 1. Jh. n.Chr.
Studies on ancient urbanity either concerns individual buildings or the city as a whole. This volume, instead, addresses a meso-scale of urbanity: the socio-spatial organisation of ancient cities. Its temporal focus is on Late Republican and Imperial Italy, and more specifically the cities of Pompeii and Ostia. Referring to a praxeological and phenomenological perspective, it looks at neighbourhoods and city quarters as basic categories of design and experience. With the terms 'neighbourhood and 'city quarter' the volume proposes two different methodological approaches: Neighbourhood here refers to the face-to-face relation between people living next to each other - thus the small-scale environment centred around a house and an individual. Neighbourhoods thus do not constitute a (collectively defined) urban territory with clear borders, but are rather constituted by individual experiences. In contrast, city quarters are understood as areas that share certain characteristics.

"Finally, this volume will undoubtedly attract attention and provide a solid background for further research, as there are still many questions to be answered about Roman urban neighbourhoods and the approach offered by this volume, which considers the perception and experience of neighbourhoods within the socio-spatial pattern of the city, seems to offer a promising future research perspective."
