Ovidius la Tomis: satul global şi vocile exegezei actuale
Ovidius at Tomis: the Global Village and the Voices of Contemporary Exegesis

Summary/Abstract: Our paper Ovidius at Tomis: The Global Village and the Voices of the Contemporary Exegesis presents the project The Revenge of Barbarians. 2000 Years without Ovidiu at Tomis, coordinated by Dorin Popescu. We consider that the project, an anthology of “essential” texts, presents a local and chronological image of the Ovidius cultural construct, which enlarges its limits towards more distant cultural spaces from Romania and Italy. Our analysis takes into consideration the contributions of the most important classicists, exegetes and historians who use different perspectives and methods in interpreting the opera and the ovidian artistic personality, emphasizing their influence on European thinking and sensitivity, arts and fiction. Recontextualization in critical discourses contributes to the problem of ovidic artistic representation and the relationship between reality, history and (self)fiction, highlighting the dynamic connection between paradigms of antiquity and postmodernity.
