    Ovid’s Wand: the brush of history and the mirror of ekphrasis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Reid Hardaway, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Ethan Knapp, Advisor Karen Winstead Sarah-Grace Heller Copyright by Reid Hardaway 2017 Abstract The recent work on the manuscript reception of Ovid’s canon and Ovidian commentaries in western Europe has affirmed the author’s significant literary influence in the late Mid- dle Ages. The production and reception of Ovidinia flourished, and Ovid’s poems in- creasingly became read as coherent compositions rather than dissected for bits of moral exempla. In particular, the Metamorphoses profoundly affects the literary landscape of late medieval France and England. Allusions to Ovid’s poem reemerge throughout the late Middle Ages at defining moments of poetic self-consciousness, most often through figures of ekphrasis, the use of poetry in order to portray other media of art. By examin- ing such moments from a selection of influential medieval poems, the mind of the late medieval poet reveals itself in perpetual contestation with the images and figures of an Ovidian lineage, but the contest entails the paradoxical construction of poetic identity, which forces the poet to impose the haunting shadow of literary history onto the mirror of his or her craft. ii Acknowledgements The following work would not have been possible without the considerate and insightful assistance of my advisor, Ethan Knapp, as well as the other members of the dissertation committee, Karen Winstead and Sarah-Grace Heller.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire About this book This is one part of the first comprehensive study of the development of Greek sculpture and painting with the aim of enriching the usual stylistic-sociological approaches through a serious, disciplined consideration of the basic Greek scientific orientation to the world. This world view, known as the Four Elements Theory, came to specific formulation at the same time as the perfected contrapposto of Polykleitos and a concern with the four root colors in painting (Polygnotos). All these factors are found to be intimately intertwined, for, at this stage of human culture, the spheres of science and art were not so drastically differentiated as in our era. The world of the four elements involved the concepts of polarity and complementarism at every level.

  • The Rodin Exhibition
    The Rodin Exhibition Tata Theatre, March 19-April21, 1983 Pilloo R. Pochkhanawala [The Rodin Exhibition in New Delhi and Bombay offered Indian art lovers a unique opportunity to ·view the works of a great master. It was made poss1ble because of the keen interest of the French Government, specially Pres1dent Mitterand himself, . in strengthening relations between France and India. The Exhibition was presented in Delhi from November 7982 to January 1983. In Bombay, the Rodin Exhibition was inaugurated at the Tata Theatre on the 19th of March by Mr. H. K. L. Bhagat, Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting. Mr. J. J. Bhabha, Vice-Chairman of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, speaking on the occasion, said that this "magnificent exhibition bridged the gap between classica( and modern art". Among those present at the inauguration were M. Michel Posselle, Consul-General for France, M. Gerard Delaforge of the BANOUE INDOSUEZ, which so generously underwrote the exhibition costs, and Mr. J. R. D. Tata, Chairman of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, whose enthusiasm for the project helped to bring the exhibition here. 9 When the exhibition closed on the 21st of April, more than 50,000 visitors, from all walks of life, had seen the 99 pieces of sculpture so tastefully displayed inside and around the Tata Theatre by M. Guy de Ia Chevalerie, P~es.s and Information Officer of the Consulate of France (in Bombay) and Arttsttc Adviser to the Exhibition. The catalogue, amply illustrated with notes, information on each of the items, commentaries on Rodin's themes and extracts of his views, served as a useful aid to the visitor.

  • Lo Sguardo (Dis)Umano Di Bruno Dumont
    Lo sguardo (dis)umano di Bruno Dumont Alberto Scandola «La cinematografia – ha dichiarato Bruno Dumont – è disumana. […] È la materia delle nostre vite, è la vita stessa, presente e rappresentata»1. Sin dagli esordi (L’età inquieta, 1997), Bruno Dumont ha posto al centro della sua attenzione l’umano e soprattutto le sue derive verso l’animale, il selvaggio, il bestiale. Liberi di non significare altro che loro stessi e il loro opaco Dasein, i corpi di questo cinema abitano luoghi dove – penso a L’humanité (1999) – il visibile altro non è che il riflesso dell’invisibile e l’immagine sembra lottare contro il suono. Conflitti come quello tra i volumi e i rumori (l’ansimare dettagliato di un corpo ripreso in campo lunghissimo, per esempio), frequenti soprattutto nella prima fase della produzione, sono finalizzati a evidenziare la testura di un dispositivo a cui l’autore da sempre affida una precisa funziona catartica: Bisogna sviluppare il sistema immunitario dello spettatore, biso- gna mettergli il male. Costui svilupperà naturalmente gli anticorpi. È lo spettatore che deve svegliarsi, non il film. Per me un film non è molto importante. Ciò che è importante è cominciare; poi tocca allo spettatore terminare2. Per poter «terminare», però, bisogna innanzitutto riuscire a guardare. Guardare immagini che, nel disperato tentativo di catturare le vita, offrono 1 B. Dumont in Ph. Tancelin, S. Ors, V. Jouve, Bruno Dumont, Éditions Dis Voir, Paris 2001, p. 12. Nostra traduzione. 2 B.

But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena. She departs with her assistant (Kristen Stewart) to rehearse in Sils Maria; a remote region of the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Chloë Grace Moretz) is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.
