  • Volgei Nescia: on the Paradox of Praising Women's Invisibility*
    Matthew Roller Volgei nescia: On the Paradox of Praising Women’s Invisibility* A funerary plaque of travertine marble, originally from a tomb on the Via Nomentana outside of Rome and dating to the middle of the first century BCE, commemorates the butcher Lucius Aurelius Hermia, freedman of Lucius, and his wife Aurelia Philematio, likewise a freedman of Lucius. The rectangular plaque is divided into three panels of roughly equal width. The center panel bears a relief sculpture depicting a man and woman who stand and face one another; the woman raises the man’s right hand to her mouth and kisses it. The leftmost panel, adjacent to the male figure, is inscribed with a metrical text of two elegiac couplets. It represents the husband Aurelius’ words about his wife, who has predeceased him and is commemorated here. The rightmost panel, adjacent to the female figure, is likewise inscribed with a metrical text of three and one half elegiac couplets. It represents the wife Aurelia’s words: she speaks of her life and virtues in the past tense, as though from beyond the grave.1 The figures depicted in relief presumably represent the married individuals who are named and speak in the inscribed texts; the woman’s hand-kissing gesture seems to confirm this, as it represents a visual pun on the cognomen Philematio/Philematium, “little kiss.”2 This relief, now in the British Museum, is well known and has received extensive scholarly discussion.3 Here, I wish to focus on a single phrase in the text Aurelia is represented as speaking.

In less than a year, the new king, Gustav III, had turned the entire leadership of the kingdom topsy-turvy through his bloodless coup d’état, and in the consolida- tion of his rulership, he had embarked upon a bold, even politically risky venture, the creation of a state-sponsored public opera that was to reflect a new cultural nationalism, with which he hoped to imbue the citizenry with an understanding of the special role he hoped they would play in the years to come.

  • Lachiusa, Michael John (B
    LaChiusa, Michael John (b. 1962) by Greg Varner Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com In 2004, Michael John LaChiusa was described in an article in The Washington Post as "the most prolific composer in New York during the past 10 or so years." He does not object to the characterization. "I do write a lot," he says. "I enjoy it." Along with Ricky Ian Gordon and a handful of other composers, LaChiusa has been identified as an heir to Stephen Sondheim's brilliant legacy in the American musical theater. LaChiusa frequently creates works that demand intellectual involvement on the part of the auidence; and, like Sondheim's, his works for the musical theater are often described as "operatic." LaChiusa was born July 24, 1962, in Stockwell, New York, where he first began writing songs at the urging of his fourth-grade teacher. While still in his teens, LaChiusa made his way to New York City with the ambition to compose for the theater. He came to early notice in 1993 with First Lady Suite, a look at the hidden lives of presidential wives Jackie Kennedy, Mamie Eisenhower, and Eleanor Roosevelt, whose lesbian lover, Lorena Hickock, figures prominently in the piece. (A revival production of 2002 was recorded for a CD released in 2003.) In 1994, LaChiusa solidified his reputation as a brilliant young composer with Hello Again, a musical suggested by Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde and produced at Lincoln Center with a first-rate cast including John Cameron Mitchell, Donna Murphy, Judy Blazer, and Michele Pawk.

  • Monstrosity and Motherhood: Visions of the Terrible Mother Ruby Jean Dudasik This Thesis Has Been Submitted on This Day of April
    Monstrosity and Motherhood: Visions of the Terrible Mother Ruby Jean Dudasik This thesis has been submitted on this day of April 30, 2020 in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the NYU Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts degree. 2 Abstract This thesis attempts to answer the “Medea question”: what is it about monstrous mothers, starting with Medea and reappearing in countless other places, that is so continually relevant over the years, and in many different societies? Through examining the Greek Medea, Marina Carr’s By The Bog of Cats, and Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, I analyze anti-maternal women within their respective social contexts. I contend that the character of the monstrous mother has dual functionality. Firstly, she represents an attempt by female playwrights and contributors to reclaim a role that has been historically imposed upon them: the idea of motherhood as an obligation and a sacred duty. Secondly, to those in positions of privilege, these terrible mothers are an explosive threat to the very power structures they depend on to maintain that privilege. I utilize feminist theory, dramatic analysis, and historical and sociocultural frameworks to deconstruct - and then reconstruct - the terrible mother, and the enduring popularity and adaptability of the murderous Medea. Keywords: anti-motherhood, Euripides, feminism, theater, monstrosity, patriarchy, By the Bog of Cats, A Doll’s House, Medea 3 Table of Contents Acknowledgements 4 Preface: The Medea Question 5 Chapter I: The Early Antimother 9 The Monstrous Maternal in Euripides’ Medea Chapter II: The Adapted Antimother 28 Reclaiming Maternal Agency in By the Bog of Cats Chapter III: Beyond Medea 49 Anti-motherhood in Ibsen’s A Doll’s House Coda: To Face the Unthinkable 71 Appendix 77 References 83 4 Acknowledgements This thesis would not exist without the invaluable support of the following people, who I am lucky to call my mentors and friends.

    EURIPIDES: MEDEA FREE DOWNLOAD Euripides,Donald J. Mastronarde,P. E. Easterling,Philip Hardie,Richard Hunter,E. J. Kenney | 440 pages | 01 Dec 2002 | CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS | 9780521643863 | English | Cambridge, United Kingdom Euripides’ Out old plans! Medea painting Jason Euripides: Medea Medea painting Medea statue. It has been seen by some as one of the first works of feminismwith Medea as a feminist heroine. The general sense of the poem is interesting. Kings and queens have always been spoiled by power. And, as Medea has largely shared his great deeds with him, he thinks that she cannot but feel the same. I do not leave my children's bodies with thee; I take them with me that I may bury them in Hera 's precinct. Are you not pleased with my words? Aigeas Ah, in that case your sadness is truly justified, Medea. Next section Lines You, however, must not do as the fools do, nor address foolishness with foolishness. The Attendant, bringing apparently good news, is received with a moan of despair, the Messenger of calamity with serene satisfaction. Medea And a joyful day to you, too, Aigeas, son of wise Pandion. A million times, alas! Chorus Did you hear that? Aigeas But… what made him do that? Two doors, one near the centre, the other, a smaller, to Stage Left. Euripides seems at times to hate the revenge of the oppressed almost as much as the original cruelty of the oppressor; or, to put the same fact in a different light, Euripides: Medea seems deliberately to dwell upon the twofold evil of cruelty, that it not only causes pain to the victim, but actually by means of the pain makes him a worse man, so that when his turn of Euripides: Medea comes, it is no longer a triumph of justice or a thing to make men rejoice.

By BARRY SINGER Last August in these pages, Barry Singer, who writes about popular music, reported on a disparate group of young musicians and lyricists fascinated by and committed to the American musical. In that article, entitled ''True Believers in the Future of the Musical,'' Mr. Singer found that a new generation was struggling to redefine and create its own traditions. In this article he describes some of the fruit of that labor. IN the world of musical theater, change is a matter of opinion. Music styles, producing practices, staging conventions persist in loving stasis for generations, interrupted by spasms of change that can be very inconvenient. Denial is always an option. Take ''Rent,'' for example. Clearly ''Rent'' changed something about musical theater, if only the limits of forbidden subject matter. Yet contrarians in musical theater will tell you that ''Rent'' -- a story involving drugs, AIDS and young people in the East Village -- is really ''Hair'' retrofitted for the 90's. Nothing new. Andrew Lloyd Webber's impact in the 80's? Just recycled Rodgers and Hammerstein with a boost of spectacle. No real change there. The jolt of Disney's smash ''Lion King,'' however, has been hard to dispute.
