Feminist Art as Feminist Theory: New Art Works to Interpret Greek Drama
This panel seeks papers that explore the heuristic value of new feminist art
works in interpreting Greek drama.
Can new feminist art works, like new literary theories, social paradigms, or
developments in archaeology, test notions of gender, sexuality and ethnicity
in classical texts? This panel will interrogate Helene Foley¹s assertion,
³Artists provide important critical responses to Greek drama from a variety
of perspectives not always available to the academy.² Can we ascribe
heuristic value to recent feminist works of poets, novelists, short story
writers, playwrights, performance artists, and directors such as Joanne
Akalaitis, Laurie Bentley, Eavan Boland, Marina Carr, Lucille Clifton, Dario
Fo and Franca Rame, Rhodessa Jones, Sarah Kane, Pat Kinevane, Nina Kossman,
Adrienne Mnouchkine, Cherrê Moraga, Liudmila Petrushevskaya, Deborah Warner,
Christa Wolfe and/or any number of other feminist practitioners? Do some
new works that do not attempt word-for-word equivalents nevertheless grapple
with interpretive problems of the plays? If so, how do we measure success
or failure in this enterprise? What are the implications for scholarship and
pedagogy?
Deadline for abstracts: April 26, 2003. In the body of your email to <
sfjoseph@his.com> please include a brief cv, title for your paper, and
abstract of 250 words for presentations to last 15 minutes.
