Correlation between provincial and capital in Sidonius Apollinaris’s perception of the world
Journal Title: Лабиринт. Журнал социально-гуманитарных исследований - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This work is devoted to the correlation between provincial and capital in the Gallo-Roman aristocrat of the fifth century Sidonius Apollinaris’s perception of the world. On the basis of a source analysis (letters and poetical works) his views on a province (Gaul) and a capital (Rome/Ravenna) are investigated with the aim to reveal some peculiarities of a provincial aristocrat’s perception of an urban decline process and “agrarisation” in the ancient society. As a result of the investigation the author comes to the conclusion that at times changeable Sidonius Apollinaris’s attitude towards Gaul and Rome/Ravenna was determined by his social status, ethno territorial belonging, distinctive perception of the world and value understanding or in other words mentality. In his subjective perception of contemporaries the urban decline process and urban infrastructure was ambiguous and first of all it was connected with a subject-eyewitness’s mental specificity.
