    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-49483-0 — Classical Philology and Theology Edited by Catherine Conybeare , Simon Goldhill Frontmatter More Information CLASSICAL PHILOLOGY AND THEOLOGY Modern disciplinary silos tend to separate the fields of classical philology and theology. This collection of essays, however, explores for the first time the deep and significant interactions between them. It demonstrates how from antiquity to the present they have marched hand in hand, informing each other with method, views of the past and structures of argument. The volume rewrites the history of discipline formation, and reveals how close the seminar is to the seminary. catherine conybeare is Leslie Clark Professor in the Humanities at Bryn Mawr College. She is an authority on the Latin texts of late antiquity, and is the author of four books, including The Laughter of Sarah: Biblical Exegesis, Feminist Theory, and the Concept of Delight (2013). She is also the editor of a new series for Cambridge University Press, Cultures of Latin from Antiquity to the Enlightenment. simon goldhill is Professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of King’s College. He is one of the best- known writers on Greek literature and cultures, publishing almost twenty books and numerous articles on texts and topics from the whole span of antiquity and its reception. His books have won three international prizes and have been translated into ten languages. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-49483-0

  • The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema
    The Representation of Suicide in the Cinema John Saddington Submitted for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Sociology September 2010 Abstract This study examines representations of suicide in film. Based upon original research cataloguing 350 films it considers the ways in which suicide is portrayed and considers this in relation to gender conventions and cinematic traditions. The thesis is split into two sections, one which considers wider themes relating to suicide and film and a second which considers a number of exemplary films. Part I discusses the wider literature associated with scholarly approaches to the study of both suicide and gender. This is followed by quantitative analysis of the representation of suicide in films, allowing important trends to be identified, especially in relation to gender, changes over time and the method of suicide. In Part II, themes identified within the literature review and the data are explored further in relation to detailed exemplary film analyses. Six films have been chosen: Le Feu Fol/et (1963), Leaving Las Vegas (1995), The Killers (1946 and 1964), The Hustler (1961) and The Virgin Suicides (1999). These films are considered in three chapters which exemplify different ways that suicide is constructed. Chapters 4 and 5 explore the two categories that I have developed to differentiate the reasons why film characters commit suicide. These are Melancholic Suicide, which focuses on a fundamentally "internal" and often iII­ understood motivation, for example depression or long term illness; and Occasioned Suicide, where there is an "external" motivation for which the narrative provides apparently intelligible explanations, for instance where a character is seen to be in danger or to be suffering from feelings of guilt.

    St Andrews Institute of Legal and Constitutional Research 2016-17 Report Now in its second year, the St Andrews Institute of Legal and Constitutional Research (ILCR) has built upon its successes in the 2015 - 2016 academic year and experienced another busy, enjoyable, and intellectually stimulat- ing period of activity. Over the past year, the ILCR has enjoyed success in a number of areas: internationally recognised academic pub- lications; innovative public engagement activities; unique research projects; world-leading workshops; and the award of major research grants. At the beginning of the 2016 Martinmas term the ILCR also welcomed the first students on the Institute’s new Legal and Constitutional Research M.Litt, studying a range of topics including international law, political history and medieval and early-modern law. The 2017 - 2018 academic year promises to be equally stimulating. It will witness the first full year of activity on a major ERC Advanced Grant funded project on medieval legal history undertaken within the ILCR, the arrival of the second cohort of students taking the Legal and Constitutional Research M.Litt degree, and the development of further innovative research projects.

Lord Wolfson of Marylebone Trustee of the Wolfson Foundation from 1955 and Chairman 1972-2010 © The Wolfson Foundation FOREWORD The year 1972 was a pivotal one for the Wolfson Foundation: my father, Lord Wolfson of Marylebone, became Chairman and the Wolfson History Prize was established. No coincidence there. History was my father’s passion and primary source of intellectual stimulation. History books were his daily companions. Of all the Foundation’s many activities, none gave him greater pleasure than the History Prize. It is an immense sadness that he is not with us to celebrate the fortieth anniversary.

  • Sophocles and the Greek Tragic Tradition Edited by Simon Goldhill and Edith Hall Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88785-4 - Sophocles and the Greek Tragic Tradition Edited by Simon Goldhill and Edith Hall Frontmatter More information SOPHOCLES AND THE GREEK TRAGIC TRADITION Thirteen essays by senior international experts on Greek tragedy take a fresh look at Sophocles’ dramas. They reassess their crucial role in the creation of the tragic repertoire, in the idea of the tragic canon in antiquity, and in the making and infinite recreation of the tragic tradition in the Renaissance and beyond. The introduction looks at the paradigm shifts during the twentieth century in the theory and practice of Greek theatre, in order to gain a perspective on the current state of play in Sophoclean studies. The following three sections explore respectively the way that Sophocles’ tragedies provoked and educated their original Athenian democratic audience, the language, structure and lasting impact of his Oedipus plays, and the centrality of his oeuvre in the development of the tragic tradition in Aeschylus, Euripides, ancient philosophical theory, fourth-century tragedy and Shakespeare. The volume is dedicated to Professor Pat Easterling of Newnham College, Cambridge, to mark her seventy-fifth birthday. It has been written by some of her many former pupils and collaborators and recognises the enormous contribution she has made to the study of Greek tragedy and, in particular, of Sophocles. simon goldhill is Professor of Greek, Cambridge University, and a Fellow of King’s College. He has published widely on Greek literature and drama, with books including Reading Greek Tragedy (1986), Per- formance Culture and Athenian Democracy (co-authored with Robin Osborne, 1999), and How to Stage Greek Tragedy Today (2007).
