Synopsis
Contributing Authors

This work focuses on the question of the meaning of the late antique quaestiones by examining culture-specific forms of perception that define the behavior of the actors involved. Defenders, prosecutors, and judges are understood in terms of their interrelated and strictly normalized roles, the interaction of which played an extremely significant role.

English Summary: Hardly any institution of the Roman Republic had more power over the reputation and fate of the citizens of all classes than the courthouses of the last century B.C. At the same time only few institutions of that time period have caused bigger disputes in research with their functionality and purpose in mind. This work focuses on the question of the meaning of the late antique “quaestiones” by examining culture-specific forms of perception that define the behaviour of the actors involved. Defenders, prosecutors, and judges are understood in terms of their interrelated and strictly normalized roles, the interaction of which played an extremely significant role. German Description: Wohl kaum eine Institution der romischen Republik hatte grossere Macht uber das Ansehen und das Schicksal von Burgern unterschiedlichster Gesellschaftsschichten als die Gerichtshofe des letzten vorchristlichen Jahrhunderts. Zugleich haben wenige Institutionen der Zeit mit Blick auf ihre Funktionsweise und Zielsetzung grossere Forschungskontroversen ausgelost. Das Buch ruckt die Frage nach dem “Sinn” der spatrepublikanischen ‘quaestiones’ in den Vordergrund, indem es diesen in den kulturspezifischen Wahrnehmungsformen sucht, die das Verhalten der Akteure determinieren. Verteidiger, Anklager und Richter werden als aufeinander bezogene und streng normierte Rollen begriffen, deren Zusammenspiel eine eminente sinnstiftende Funktion erfullt. Die Rezeption neuerer Emotionstheorien enthullt dabei auch die Stabilisierungsleistung der affektiven Kundgebungen und fordert das komplexe Bild eines Systems zutage, dessen normative Verankerung in den Dienst der ubergeordneten Sinnmuster gestellt wird.
