"This volume explores and elucidates Critical Ancient World Studies, a new model for the study of the ancient world operating critically, setting itself against a long history of a discipline formulated to naturalise a hierarchical, white supremacist origin story for an imagined modern 'West'. Critical Ancient World Studies (CAWS) is a methodology for the study of antiquity that shifts away from the assumptions and approaches of the discipline known as 'classical studies' and / or 'Classics'. Although it seeks to reckon with the discipline's colonial history, it is not simply the application of decolonial theory, or the search to uncover subaltern narratives in a subject that has special relevance to the privileged and powerful. Rather, it dismantles the structures of knowledge that have led to this privileging, and questions the categories, ideas, themes, narratives, and epistemological structures that have been deemed objective and essential within the inherited discipline of 'Classics'. The contributions in this book, by an international group of researchers, offer a variety of situated, embodied perspectives on the question of how to imagine a more critical discipline, rather than a unified single view. The volume is divided into four parts: Critical Epistemologies, Critical Philologies, Critical Time and Critical Space, and Critical Approaches, and uses these as spaces to propose disciplinary transformation. Critical Ancient World Studies: The Case for Forgetting Classics is a must-read for scholars and practitioners teaching in the field of classical studies, and the breadth of examples also make it an invaluable resource for anyone working on the ancient world within other disciplines"--
