“…The discipline of classics has recently been the subject of engaging historiography, which I draw on here (Rebenich, 2021, Guthenke, 2020, Lanza and Ugolini, 2022, Harloe, 2013; see also Grafton, 1983, Momigliano, 1950, 1982. Debates concerning the varied histories of objectivity (Daston, 1992;Galison & Daston, 2010) and related conversations about impartiality (Daston, 2019;Murphy & Traninger, 2014) are clearly relevant to the investigation at hand.…”

“…He concluded that the poems were originally performed orally and shaped by later editors, who sought to "improve" rather than truthfully render the text, which they had found. The study of critical sources was less original than Wolf claimed: The originality of the work was contested by others, including his teacher Heyne at the time (Harloe, 2013). Anthony Grafton has shown that the work built on earlier baroque styles of learning and on critical biblical scholarship (Grafton, 1981, see also Trueper, 2020).…”

Scientificity before Scientism: The Invention of Cultural Research in German Studies of Antiquity 1800–1850

This paper examines how scholars of Greek and Roman antiquity in the German-speaking territories in the first half of the nineteenth century define scientificity (Wissenschaftlichkeit). I will argue that antiquity studies in this period of its foundation as a discipline is an instructive case to examine with regard to questions as to how scientific knowledge is established as different from other forms of knowledge, how scientific fields establish relative autonomy from other fields and what forms scientific autonomy can take. Widely recognised as important for the history of the modern research university, the case is not only interesting because it is influential. It is also interesting because the discussions in this period are so different to discussions in the later nineteenth century in the social sciences and the humanities, which have shaped debates about scientificity in sociology and cognate disciplines: We find here a notion of social and cultural research as a scientific endeavour, discussed not primarily with reference to or in defence against the natural sciences, but rather defined against imitative learning and the expectation that research provide moral support for the emerging Germany by idealizing the Greeks. The case highlights moralization as a source of heteronomy in cultural fields in addition to the more widely discussed forces of the market and the influence of the state.

“…This rejection formed part of a broader disavowal of art history's antiquarian origins (Harloe, 2013) and had lasting consequences for the science of talismans. It still underlies the negative judgment that Ernst Gombrich, the twentieth-century art historian, passed on the Lapidary of Alfonso II (see Figure 2).…”

The science of talismans today

The science of talismans was cultivated in Arabic, Greek, and Latin in the first millennium AD and entered European vernaculars in the seventeenth century. Its primary concern is the ability of images to produce effects in the world, even at a distance. In the eighteenth century, European intellectual discourse rejected the talisman on physical, moral, and aesthetic grounds. Today, it has returned and forms the object of distinctive and mutually complementary programs of study in art history, anthropology, and media studies. Its primary interest lies in its account of visual form as an intelligible cause and thereby as a mediator between distinct domains of experience.
