Autorenporträt

Ella Haselswerdt is an Assistant Professor of Classics at UCLA. She has broad interests in poetics, aesthetics, and reception, and has published on the dreamscapes of the ancient body, the soundscapes of Oedipus at Colonus , the mythic geography of Philoctetes, and philology as a site of queer liberation. She has two current major projects: the first explores the conceptual, expressive capacities of the tragic chorus via trauma theory, queer theory, and posthumanism; the second is a multifaceted approach to Sappho and contemporary lesbian identity, under the rubric "Deep Lez Philology." Sara H. Lindheim is Professor of Classics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is the author of Mail and Female: Epistolary Narrative and Desire in Ovid's Heroides (2003) and Latin Elegy and the Space of Empire (2021). She has also co-edited with Helen Morales New Essays on Homer: Language, Violence, and Agency (2015), although her work generally focuses on gender and subjectivity in Latin poetry of the late Republic and the Augustan Age. Kirk Ormand is the Nathan A. Greenberg Professor of Classics at Oberlin College. He is the author of Exchange and the Maiden: Marriage in Sophoclean Tragedy (1999), The Hesiodic Catalogue of Women and Archaic Greece (2014), and Controlling Desires: Sexuality in Ancient Greece and Rome (2nd ed., 2018); he has co-edited with Ruby Blondell Ancient Sex: New Essays (2015) and has published essays on various ancient authors, Michel Foucault, and Clint Eastwood.

Rezensionen

"Each chapter, in a remarkable polyphony, rich in diverse echoes and dynamic tensions, poses its own questions on notions such as subjectivity, spatiality and temporality, genealogy, and on the queer relationship of classical studies to their past, their present, and above all their future... This work will be of interest to classicists who are curious about what their field of research is becoming and can or should become, but specialists of queer studies would also be inspired by it." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
