| CLA332/MED332 Women and the Classical Tradition |
| A study of medieval and modern women and men as gendered agents of the transmission, reception, and transformation of Greco-Roman literature and ideology. Our primary emphasis will be on the Latin Middle Ages and on 19th- and 20th- century America. Some representative issues: Is there a tradition of women's writing? Classical themes, ancient authors, and changing perceptions of Antiquity as sources of inspiration for women writers; gender, race and class in the curriculum and the profession of Classics; classical education and social action. |
| Professor Janet Martin |
| Seminar: 11:00am-12:20pm TTh - East Pyne 027 |
| CLA334/COM334 Modern Transformations of Classical Themes: The Tragic Heroine |
| A distinctive contribution of classical culture to the Western literary tradition is the figure of the tragic heroine: girls, wives, and mothers like Antigone, Medea, Phaedra, Hecuba, and Helen. This course will trace the development of these types from their origins in the Greek tragic theater, through Roman adaptations, to their reincarnations in French neoclassical theater, the 19th-century novel and opera, and 20th-century fiction and film. How do tragic presentations of the feminine reflect male and female anxieties about authority, representation, and power? Why does the tragic heroine continue to engage present-day audiences? |

| Seminar: 1:30-2:50pm TTh - East Pyne 027 |
| CLA335/HLS335 Studies in the Classical Tradition: Between East and West: Europe and Greece, 18th-21st Centuries |
| In 1741, David Hume declares that "Europe is at present a copy, at large, of what Greece was formerly a pattern in miniature". This course wants to tease out the links between constructions of Europe and the place of national cultures within that in the modern period, and the peculiar relationship to Greece that became part of the argument. To see what the consequences of such an understanding of Europe are, we will also look at the example of modern Greece, on the edge of Europe as we think we know it. We will look at historical case studies, scholarly debates, and literary texts to get a handle on the question of how the tension between East and West plays out when you are located on that border. |
| Professor Constanze Güthenke |
| Seminar: 3:00-4:20pm TTh - 103 Scheide Caldwell House |
| CLA336 Introduction to Indo-European |
| This course provides an introduction to the study of the Indo-European language family from both a historical and a comparative perspective. The emphasis will be on the phonology, morphology, and vocabulary of the earliest representatives (Ancient Greek, Latin, Vedic Sanskrit, Hittite, Old Irish, Old English, etc.) and what they have to tell us about Proto-Indo-European and the culture of the speakers of this reconstructed "mother tongue." |
| Professor Joshua T. Katz |
| Seminar: 8:30-9:50am TTh - East Pyne 111 |
