Award of Merit - University of Guelph European Studies Conference '15 "Redetermining Reality: Insights into Free Will, Creativity and More in Ancient Roman Paintings" Nov 2015 At times propagandistic or didactic, at times representative of everyday life, Ancient Roman paintings constitute an underappreciated body of evidence that helps bring to life important aspects of Roman existence. In my paper I explore the ways that Roman paintings elucidate the evolution of artistic style and taste, the role of women in society, and popular disagreement about the belief in free will versus divinely assigned fate.

In my paper I explore the ways that Roman paintings elucidate the evolution of artistic style and taste, the role of women in society, and popular disagreement about the belief in free will versus divinely assigned fate. I demonstrate how paintings stretched the limits of what was believed architecturally possible, even, perhaps, laying the foundation for the construction of the Pantheon.

Religion and education, the fashionability of science, tropes of adventure, economic opportunity, and, perhaps especially, domestic anxieties all play a role in defining gradients of morality across time and the geographic space of the British Empire. Deconstructing alleged encounters with cannibals in light of anthropophagic practices in Europe at the time, and exploring the discomfort of Britain's emergence into a more modern world, my paper sheds light on how the British could justify actions we so easily call immoral today. While in many ways the morals of this period were different from our own, there are also insightful parallels that we can draw to contemporary western society. Show less
