| CLASSIC 160 | UNSUNG WMN OF ANTQT | GIANNOPOULOU, Z. | This interdisciplinary course sheds light on relatively obscure women of the Greco-Roman literature, female characters whose whisper or soft voice may be eclipsed by the roar of Medea, Antigone, and Clytemnestra. There are four parts to the course. In the first part, we explore the seductive female voice (the Sirens) and the silenced female voice (Philomela and Procne); in the second part, we probe the connections between women and death (Persephone, Eurydice, and Alcestis); in the third part, we look at women who save men or nations only to be victimized or villainized by them (Ariadne and Helen); and in the last part, we examine women as collective war victims (women of Troy). Each of these women or set of women is studied first in a Greek or Roman text composed between the 8th c. BCE and the 1st c. CE (epic poetry, tragedy, epistolary poetry, history, philosophy) and then in 20th-21st century adaptations of it (novel, short story, novella, poetry, theatre, performance art, film, paintings). Why do these female characters tend to be overlooked in favor of others? What are the tropes (cultural, literary, rhetorical, etc.) that authors use to present them as marginal or as deserving less attention than other male or female characters? How do these women acquiesce to or rebel against their devaluation by their authors or other characters in the narrative? What motivates our sympathy for them? How do these women fare when transplanted in genres and places of the 20th and the 21st centuries where race, class, religion, and nationality affect or even determine social visibility? Secondary materials (articles, blogs, film essays) accompany the primary sources, and the amount of reading is evenly distributed across the quarter. Grading is based on class-participation, a weekly post, an oral presentation, and a final project (academic paper, creative project, etc.). |
