The volume explores two essential terms to describe historical and cultural change: "transformation" and "allelopoiesis," using seven specific examples that range from ancient Babylon to today's Hollywood. The essays analyze the applicability and interdisciplinary relevance of work from the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) "Transformations of Antiquity."
