Introduction

Morte e amor: a construção do humano na lírica grega arcaica. Explore a construção do humano na lírica grega arcaica através da morte e do amor. Descubra como profundas mudanças culturais moldaram o pensamento ocidental.

Abstract

Os séculos VIII e VII a. C. assistem a uma mudança profunda na cultura grega — vale dizer, na cultura ocidental — a qual vai conformar o que de mais peculiar criou o gênio helênico nos campos das artes, do saber e da política. Em princípio, novas circunstâncias históricas condicionam mudanças econômicas que acarretam modificações sociais capazes de influir poderosamente na própria concepção que o homem faz de si mesmo, do outro e do mundo.

Review

This paper, titled "Morte e amor: a construção do humano na lírica grega arcaica," proposes to investigate a pivotal period in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE, positing it as a time of profound cultural transformation in Greece that laid the groundwork for Western thought. The abstract establishes a broad socio-historical context, tracing how new historical and economic circumstances catalyzed social changes, ultimately reshaping humanity's conception of self, others, and the world. The ambition to connect these macro-historical shifts with the "construction of the human" is significant, hinting at a deep engagement with the foundational ideas of Hellenic genius. The proposed scope is undoubtedly rich, offering the potential for a compelling interdisciplinary analysis that spans historical, economic, social, and philosophical dimensions. If the paper successfully elaborates on how the aforementioned socio-economic changes specifically influenced the poetic articulation of human experience, particularly through the lenses of death and love within archaic Greek lyric, it could provide valuable insights. The premise of understanding the genesis of the Western self through such a critical period, utilizing specific literary forms, holds considerable promise for contributing to our understanding of ancient Greek intellectual and cultural history. However, the abstract as presented remains exceedingly general, falling short of articulating the paper's unique argument or methodological approach. While it adeptly sets the stage with a grand historical narrative, it fails to explicitly connect this broad framework to the specific textual and thematic focus indicated by the title—namely, "death and love" and "archaic Greek lyric." There is a crucial absence of detail regarding *how* the paper will analyze these literary sources, what specific poets or poems will be examined, or what theoretical lens will be applied to demonstrate the "construction of the human." For a robust scholarly contribution, the abstract needs to be revised to clearly state the paper's specific thesis, its original contribution to existing scholarship, and the methodology employed to bridge the gap between sweeping historical changes and the nuanced analysis of poetic expression.
