Vol. 4 No. 1 (2024): Art and Archeology of Pompeii

With the invaluable contribution of renowned experts from Brazil and abroad, the volume is composed of the dossier "Art and Archaeology in Pompeii," produced through the efforts of two eminent Brazilian scholars on the subject: Professors José Geraldo Costa Grillo from the Department of Art History at UNIFESP, and Pedro Paulo Funari from the Department of History at UNICAMP. The dossier, which stands out as a publication of extreme originality in the context of art history and archaeology studies in Brazil, consists of a collection of articles addressing various aspects related to the topic, offering an update on research concerning art and archaeology in Pompeii. It examines and discusses disciplinary and methodological aspects related to the subject matter with the aim of understanding how the discovery of the cities buried by Vesuvius in the eighteenth century impacted the way Antiquity was understood. It considers issues related to the importance of the Pompeii excavations for Brazilian studies in the field of Classical Archaeology and the reception of the archaeological discoveries in Pompeii within the arts in later periods, as well as reflections on the topic of sexuality and its epistemological implications, and even the issue of publicity in the context of research on Pompeii.
