Chinese translation of “Political Thought in an Age of Conformity”
Hankins J. Chinese translation of “Political Thought in an Age of Conformity”. In: Li H Dialogues on the History of Political Thought. Beijing, China: China Social Science Press ; 2022. Publisher's VersionAbstract
This book is a comprehensive dialogue on the research paradigms, contexts and genealogies, meetings and controversies, horizons and cares of the history of political thought, covering many genres and traditions, time and place, text and language, individuals and groups. The book includes dialogues between the author and 21 important thinkers, spanning the fields of historical theory, political philosophy, critical theory, cultural history and intellectual history, and presents the relationship between many schools of thought and research approaches, reflecting the different orientations of the Cambridge School of Intellectual History, the Italian School of Microhistory, the Strauss School, the Frankfurt School, and the Berkeley School. The comparison confirms the ideological connotations of economic history, maritime history, music history, international history, classics and philology, conceptual analysis and psychological analysis. The interlocutors are representative figures from various fields, including Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Turkey, and India, covering ancient Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages and the early modern period, humanism and the Enlightenment, classical political economy and modern and contemporary social theory. The dialogue not only explains the internal logic of texts and ideas, examines the rhetorical context and normative claims of the interlocutor, but also responds to questioning and criticism in speculative interaction.

Hankins J. The Humanities and Moral Education. In: Boi L, Curi U, Maffei L, Miraglia L In difesa dell’umano. Problemi e prospettive. Luci e ombre della contemporaneità. Osservare, descrivere, immaginare e ripensare il mondo. Vol. One. Frascati, Italy: Academia Vivarium Novum ; 2022. pp. 279-292.Abstract
 With this book-manifesto, which contains forty-eight contributions from figures from the international scientific and humanistic world, it was intended to weave praise, even if critical and starting from a plural gaze, of the evolutionary, cognitive and imaginative qualities of man, to raise a voice in defense of the essential and universal prerogatives of the human, showing the deception of today's dogmas and single thought,  and at the same time the groundlessness of argumentation and the ideal emptiness of a social model; And we wanted to propose a possible way out, despite the diversity of visions and perspectives, from the current stalemate in which humanity has found itself, trusting primarily in the infinite power of education and in the inexhaustible perfectibility of man.

Catalogus Translationum et Commetariorum: Mediaeval and Renaissance Latin Translations and Commentaries, vol. XII: Ovid, Metamorphoses
Greti Dinkova-Bruun E, Julia Haig Gaisser AE, James Hankins AE ed. Catalogus Translationum et Commetariorum: Mediaeval and Renaissance Latin Translations and Commentaries, vol. XII: Ovid, Metamorphoses. Catalogus Translationum et Commetariorum: Mediaeval and Renaissance Latin Translations and Commentaries. 2022;XII :559. Publisher's VersionAbstract
Founded in 1945 by P. O. Kristeller, the Catalogus Translationum et Commentariorum has evolved over time to reflect developments in the field of reception studies; each article begins with an overview of a Greek or Latin author’s reception and contains detailed and accurate information about manuscripts and early printed editions along with copious quotations of paratextual material. Volume 12 contains a single article of monographic length on the Metamorphoses of Ovid, a testament to the vastness and complexity of the Nachleben of Ovid’s most popular work. Textual reactions to this work throughout the centuries vary from literal to allegorical and moralizing, from faithful translations to paraphrases, from serious and scholarly commentary to satirical and recontextualizing parody, thus showing this poem’s broad cultural appeal.
