Erasure in Late Antiquity
Erasure in Antiquity, New Open Access publication
This volume, edited by Kay Boers, Becca Grose (University of St Andrews), Rebecca Usherwood (Trinity College Dublin) and Guy Walker (Trinity College Dublin), brings together eight essays by eminent scholars and early career researchers, reflecting on the phenomenon of erasure in Late Antiquity (c. 150 - 750 CE) and the various theoretical frameworks that can be used in studying this phenomenon. From a broad theoretical, chronological, and thematic focus, the contributions in this volume reflect on the processes of erasure and the strategies, actors and authorities behind them. They seek to understand erasure as a flexible and diverse phenomenon, visible in different late antique media and material cultures.
