Seriously Playful: Philosophy in the Myths of Ovid's Metamorphoses
Seriously Playful: Philosophy in the Myths of Ovid’s Metamorphoses Megan Beasley, B.A. (Hons) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Classics of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities Discipline of Classics and Ancient History 2012 1 2 For my parents 3 4 Abstract This thesis aims to lay to rest arguments about whether Ovid is or is not a philosophical poet in the Metamorphoses. It does so by differentiating between philosophical poets and poetic philosophers; the former write poetry freighted with philosophical discourse while the latter write philosophy in a poetic medium. Ovid, it is argued, should be categorised as a philosophical poet, who infuses philosophical ideas from various schools into the Metamorphoses, producing a poem that, all told, neither expounds nor attacks any given philosophical school, but rather uses philosophy to imbue its constituent myths with greater wit, poignancy and psychological realism. Myth and philosophy are interwoven so intricately that it is impossible to separate them without doing violence to Ovid’s poem. It is not argued here that the Metamorphoses is a fundamentally serious poem which is enhanced, or marred, by occasional playfulness. Nor is it argued that the poem is fundamentally playful with occasional moments of dignity and high seriousness. Rather, the approach taken here assumes that seriousness and playfulness are so closely connected in the Metamorphoses that they are in fact the same thing. Four major myths from the Metamorphoses are studied here, from structurally significant points in the poem. The “Cosmogony” and the “Speech of Pythagoras” at the beginning and end of the poem have long been recognised as drawing on philosophy, and discussion of these two myths forms the beginning and end of the thesis. -
Queer Reproductions in Vergil's Georgics and Brian Britigan's Golden
Vol. 1 No. 1 Summer|Été 2021 - 26 - Queer Reproductions in Vergil’s Georgics and Brian Britigan’s Golden Clara Bosak-Schroeder Introduction1 Minneapolis-based artist Brian Britigan has created an oeuvre of fantastic creatures, from the alien beauties of Miss Space Teen Supreme (2015) to lion griffins and skeletal mermaids in Celestial Spheres (2016). But perhaps none will excite scholars of the environmental humanities more than Golden [Fig. 1], one of six paintings for Beyond the Western Lands, a group show held in 2012 at Seattle’s SOIL Gallery.2 In Golden, an ox or cow looks in the direction of the viewer, though not into our eyes. Its body has been severed part-way through the torso and hangs suspended, we know not from where. Bees have colonized the body’s interior and swarm in both foreground and background, while honey drips from its nostrils. Inverted flowers adorn the forehead and a tag reading “46” under another number, “522,” is visible in the left ear. I first encountered this painting while doing a Google image search for “bugonia,” a Latin term meaning “ox- or cow-born” that refers to the spontaneous generation of bees from a dead bovine. The Google algorithm may have found this image through an interview Britigan gave on artsyo.com in 2013. The interview references bugonia and implies that Britigan himself mentioned it to the interviewers: [Britigan’s] impossible-to-miss painting Golden (see below) sparked a long conversation and subsequent post-show research about the origins of the myth that beehives can be spontaneously -

National Library of the Netherlands, The Hague, KB, 76 E 21 I-III A Marvelous Scene of Little Things Honeybees and the Natural Order in the Fourth Georgic of Virgil Catlin 1 Colin Catlin Senior Thesis Spring 2017 A Marvelous Scene of Little Things1 Honeybees and the Natural Order in the Fourth Georgic of Virgil “If little things can be compared to great, Innate desire to work for the common wealth Inspires the bees, and each of them has his role.” Georgics 4.176-82 Virgil makes no secret that he attempts to justify the new imperial order established by Augustus Caesar in several of his works. In his Aeneid, Trojan ancestry, a voyage to the underworld, the great shield of Aeneas forged by Vulcan, and wars in Latium all bear elements leading inevitably to the triumph and sole rule of Augustus. In his earlier Georgics, however, it is not great movements led by the gods which ring in a new golden age. Instead, it is the small movements of honeybees in the hive, set at the end of a tale of pastoral prosperity and disruption which carries the weight of the new Roman world on its back. -

Alternative Media in Brisbane 1965-1985
5535 words Alternative Media in Brisbane: 1965-1985 Stephen Stockwell Brisbane under the Country/National Party governments from 1957 to 1989 is often portrayed as a cultural desert. While there were certainly many ‘Queensland refugees’ who went to the southern states and overseas to realize their creativity, this paper’s review of alternative media in Brisbane between 1965 and 1985 substantiates previous claims that the political repression also encouraged others with radical views to stay to contribute to the extra-parliamentary opposition. The radical movement is revealed as adept at using the products of technological change (including new printing processes, FM radio and light-weight Super 8 and video camera equipment) to create new audiences interested not only in alternative politics but also contemporary creativity. In particular this paper argues that by countering Premier Bjelke-Petersen’s skilful management of the mainstream media, alternative media workers were producing the basis of the thriving creative industry scene that exists in Brisbane today, as well as non-doctrinaire ideas that may have a wider application. Bjelke-Petersen’s Brisbane and the Willis Thesis In his novel Johnno, David Malouf captures the spirit of Brisbane after the Second World War: ‘Our big country town that is still mostly weather-board and one-storey, so little a city… so sleepy, so slatternly so sprawlingly unlovely!’ (Malouf 1975: 51) With little industrial development and mining profits going south or overseas, Brisbane did not have the economic base to sustain the large, lively and well-financed cultural scenes of Sydney and Melbourne. Critics and residents alike accepted Brisbane as provincial, stunted and without a creative spark. -

The church was built at the height of the Valley’s residential boom to accommodate the expanding numbers of Presbyterians in the area. The Sabbath school originally operated from the church building but its popularity encouraged the 1906 construction of the Sabbath school building. The school was extended in 1925 and both the church and school were refurbished in 1935. The church continued to serve the spiritual needs of the local parish through the mid-twentieth century until numbers dwindled. Following the amalgamation of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches in 1977, ownership of the building was transferred to the Uniting Church in 1980. In 1989 the building was privately sold and is no longer in use as a church. History The Presbyterian Church had been a force in Brisbane from the early 1850s, and was instrumental in the development of Fortitude Valley. -

Soft Hands, Hard Power: Sponging Off the Empire of Leisure (Virgil, Georgics 4)* TOM GEUE ABSTRACT This Article Seeks to Jumpsta
Soft Hands, Hard Power: Sponging off the empire of leisure (Virgil, Georgics 4)* TOM GEUE ABSTRACT This article seeks to jumpstart the politico-historicist scholarship on Virgil’s Georgics in the direction of Marxist criticism. I argue that the Georgics should be understood less as a battle site for intra-elite power struggles or civil strife, more as an ideological stomping ground to work out, and dig in, the particular relationships of slavery and imperialism disfiguring the Roman world in 29 B.C.E. After a brief analysis of the dynamics of labor in books 1-3, I train on a close reading of book 4, which sees the bees (et al.) as crucial to the new dominant logic of compelling others (whether slaves or provincial subjects) to produce and give up the fruits of their labour – all for the leisured enjoyment of the upper crust. Keywords: Virgil; Georgics; labor; Marxist criticism; slavery; imperialism; historicism; bees; Egypt; addressee ‘For half-way up the walls of the entrance hall, as I must have noticed, there were stone escutcheons bearing symbolic sheaves of corn, crossed hammers, winged wheels and so on, with the heraldic motif of the beehive standing not, as one might at first think, for nature made serviceable to mankind, or even industrious labour as a social good, but symbolizing the principle of capital accumulation.’ Sebald, 2002: 13 ‘According to traditional practice, the spoils are carried along in the procession. They are called cultural treasures, and a historical materialist views them with cautious detachment. For without exception the cultural treasures he surveys have an origin which he cannot contemplate without horror. -
