GREEK LITERATURE AND FEMINIST RECEPTIONS

Greek 8005 is designed as an upper-level seminar in Greek, updated to include larger conceptual issues such as inflections of identity (e.g., gender, race) and intersections of aesthetics and politics. This version will focus on feminist receptions of ancient Greek literature, with emphases on innovations that feature gender/genre, orientation, race, and embodiment. Each module will focus on one ancient author and one modern, so that we will have time to read the ancient Greek with care and think through modern shifts in outlook and emphases. Each module will also feature other shorter works of fiction and criticism by way of framing and broadening discussions.
