Abstract:In a lament on the rustic life of an exile, the persona loquens of Alcaeus 130b progresses through three spaces: the polis, esxatiai, and a temenos. The first is explicitly political, but the persona cannot occupy its territory; the latter two, where the persona can dwell, are apolitical while the temenos in particular is gendered in line with the Lesbian women who hold their beauty contests within its borders. In this article I argue that fragment 130b organizes the spaces through which the persona travels so that it can reject the apolitical life of the esxatiai and temenos, allowing the persona loquens to maintain his political identity as a citizen man even while in exile. The poem accomplishes this by connecting the persona to several social groups and then by removing him from them; this push and pull of exile and return creates an in-between space where the persona's social identity is safe from the dangers of exile. In the context of the male-dominated symposion and the political stasis afflicting archaic Mytilene, the persona's ability to maintain his political identity even in exile presents a powerful argument to Alcaeus's audience(s) that regardless of any setbacks, including exile, they too should maintain their identity as politically efficacious citizens and continue any stasis that they have begun.

Abstract:This paper considers how and why the American playwright David Ives's 2010–2012 New York hit play Venus in Fur directed by Walter Bobbie borrowed the plot of Euripides' Bacchae to dramatize a new version of Leopold van Sacher-Masoch's 1870 novella Venus in Furs (Venus im Pelz). The play gradually reveals that the actress auditioning for the part of its heroine, Vanda, is in fact the goddess herself, who arrives to challenge and punish the playwright/hero for refusing to comprehend her divinity/the nature of female sexuality. In Bacchae, Dionysus's divinity enables reversals of gender and power, hard-to-categorize blurring of genre boundaries, and an uncanny control of plot. As she transforms and directs the play, Vanda/Aphrodite's superhuman metatheatrical powers permit similar reversals to Venus in Fur, while challenging plots that traditionally link female liberation with (especially anti-male) violence and the female gender with a propensity for irrationality and uncontrolled desire. Through exploring and then reversing an initially stereotypical relation between male director and actress, the play exposes modern theater's own parallel agenda to reinforce traditional gender divisions.
摘要:本文探讨了美国剧作家大卫·艾夫斯(David Ives) 2010-2012年在纽约创作的由沃尔特·博比(Walter Bobbie)导演的热播剧《穿皮衣的维纳斯》(Venus in Fur)是如何以及为什么借用欧里庇得斯的《酒神》(Bacchae)的情节,将利奥波德·范·萨切尔-马索克(Leopold van Sacher-Masoch) 1870年的中篇小说《穿皮衣的维纳斯》(Venus im Pelz)改编为新版的。这部戏剧逐渐揭示出,试镜女主角万达的女演员实际上是女神本人,她来挑战和惩罚剧作家/男主角拒绝理解她的神性/女性性的本质。在《酒神》中,狄俄尼索斯的神性使性别和权力的颠倒,难以归类的类型界限模糊,以及对情节的不可思议的控制成为可能。凡达/阿芙罗狄蒂在改造和导演这部剧的过程中,她超人的超戏剧力量允许了与《Fur》中的维纳斯类似的逆转,同时挑战了传统上将女性解放与(尤其是反男性的)暴力以及女性性别与非理性和不受控制的欲望倾向联系在一起的情节。通过对男导演和女演员之间最初的刻板关系的探索和逆转,该剧暴露了现代戏剧自身的平行议程,以加强传统的性别划分。

Abstract:In New Comedy, plots involving a child conceived through rape present unique complications for women. In such plays women must work together to hide the pregnancies and rid themselves of the 'evidence.' Further, they do so within the confines of New Comedic conventions—there is no recourse to abortion. This article looks at rape-pregnancy plots in Roman Comedy, focusing particularly on the rape-pregnancy plot of Terence's Hecyra, and asks why the women of Roman Comedy do not abort or attempt to abort when they have been the victims of rape. Rather, standard practice for unwanted pregnancies in Roman Comedy was infant exposure. While infant exposure and the recovery of exposed infants is necessary to the plots of many New Comedies, it is still surprising that there is little mention of abortion in the plays. Later Greek and Roman writers mention abortion to disparage and condemn it. We might expect something similar in Roman Comedy. The lack of abortion in Roman Comedy, I argue, allows for a sympathetic portrayal of women. In the Hecyra especially we see women struggling with the negative consequences of a rape-pregnancy, working together to counter the negative stereotypes perpetuated by the male characters, and showing themselves virtuous according to the moral standards of the world in which they live.

RESUMEN Se parte de la discusion, de que la educacion contemporanea en el Peru sigue lineamientos y proyectos generales que engloban a las escuelas rurales y urbanas dentro de una misma esfera academica.Entonces, el presente articulo busca diagnosticar y reflexionar a traves del meta analisis la problematica de la escuela rural en Puno, desde una mirada del pensamiento critico. Dentro de ese marco, la educacion sigue y seguira siendo el problema y la posibilidad de alcanzar una democracia justa para incluir a los que menos tienen, una educacion que incluya, respete y valore las condiciones multiples y otras formasde vida (doxa), que de manera aciaga han sido fulminados por el positivismo cientificista. Se trata de una investigacion cualitativa. Para concluir, es indiscutible que en la actualidad aun persistan disparidades educativas entre las zonas rurales y urbanas, pero desde nuestra optica, las enormes barreras de ambas areas terminan con el pensamiento critico, que nos conduce a formar nuevos espacios de dialogo, saberes y discusiones desde la cotidianidad.

ABSTRACT Be part of the discussion, of that the contemporary education in Peru continues lineaments and general projects that they include to the rural and urban schools inside the same academic sphere. The study diagnoses and reflects through meta-analysis the rural school in the south of Peru from an angle of the critical thought. Within that framework, education continues and will continue to be the problem and the possibility of achieving a just democracy to include those who have less, an education that includes,respects and values multiple conditions and other forms of life (doxa), which in a fateful way have beenstruck by the positivism-scientist. In conclusion, it is indisputable that today there still persist educational disparities between rural-urban areas, but from our perspective, the enormous barriers of both areas end with critical thinking, thought that leads us to form new spaces for dialogue, knowledge’s and discussions from the routine character.

My paper closely examines the text of Tibullus Book 3, poems 8–13, the eleven elegies about, and to my mind by, the Augustan poet Sulpicia, through the lens of “the visual.”1 It concludes by reflecting on what I would regard as an Ovidian echo of one particularly memorable visual detail in these elegies. Like Tibullus—whose death in 19 BCE Ovid laments, and whose poetry he evokes both reverentially and playfully in Amores 3.9—Ovid testifies that he benefited from the literary patronage of Sulpicia’s maternal uncle, the influential general and statesman Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus.2 For that reason alone, Ovid was likely to have been acquainted with Sulpicia and her writing. And although Ovid never mentions Sulpicia by name as he does Tibullus in his poetry, he often appears to evoke her poetry as well, although never in a reverential or playful way.3 I will argue that in her eleven elegies Sulpicia depicts herself as a dynamic, self-actualizing visual spectacle. Then, more briefly, I will maintain that Sulpicia’s mode of self-representation contrasts with the tendency of Ovid and the other male elegists to portray their female inamoratae as immobile, passive art objects. In this context, I will contend that in the first book of the Ars amatoria Ovid evokes the opening two lines of the first Sulpicia elegy, 3.8, so as to recall, much as he does in both the Amores and Metamorphoses, Sulpicia’s elegies. I will claim as well that he does so to critique Sulpicia’s verses, unfavorably commenting upon the dynamic, self-actualizing, physically appealing, expensively adorned, and erotically successful female persona central to the visual spectacle these verses create. An attention-arresting elegiac couplet begins the first of the eleven Sulpicia elegies: Sulpicia est tibi culta tuis, Mars magne, kalendis / spectatum e caelo, si sapis, ipse veni (Great god Mars, Sulpicia is arrayed for you on your Kalends.

“Poetry for the eyes” is a felicitous definition of Ovid’s epic. The Metamorphoses are a model for the Achilleid in this as in other aspects,1 like the themes of deceit, transformation, and gender fluidity; the spectacle of appearances, matched by ambiguity in language; the provocation of the proem, with its program of a cyclic epos and a carmen deductum (finely spun song); the dialogue with alternative genres, like elegy and comedy; and, in addition, the lightness of tone, irony, and detachment towards the characters, first and foremost Achilles. The greatest Greek hero is here the object of a witty attitude that recalls Ovid’s epic, and of cleverly provocative jokes evoking the narrative about him in Metamorphoses 12 and 13, as well as his appearance as an exemplum in the Ars amatoria.

The Metamorphoses are a model for the Achilleid in this as in other aspects,1 like the themes of deceit, transformation, and gender fluidity; the spectacle of appearances, matched by ambiguity in language; the provocation of the proem, with its program of a cyclic epos and a carmen deductum (finely spun song); the dialogue with alternative genres, like elegy and comedy; and, in addition, the lightness of tone, irony, and detachment towards the characters, first and foremost Achilles. The greatest Greek hero is here the object of a witty attitude that recalls Ovid’s epic, and of cleverly provocative jokes evoking the narrative about him in Metamorphoses 12 and 13, as well as his appearance as an exemplum in the Ars amatoria.

The erotic gaze plays a crucial role in Latin literary representations of desire: desire itself arises from the gaze. For the most part, this gaze is portrayed as male, with a woman as its immobile object. Critics, moreover, often consider the gaze merely a mode of control that the male lover employs over the female beloved. Yet Roman poets represent situations that defy simple categorization. As Patricia Salzman-Mitchell (2005, 163–164) has observed, elegiac poetry depicts the puella as an object of the male gaze; yet by being stared at for a long time, as Andromeda is by Perseus, she can be viewed as exerting dominance over the male lover, who is both stupefied by her beauty and paralyzed by his passion. The first couplet of Propertius 1.1—Cynthia prima suis miserum me cepit ocellis / contactum nullis ante cupidinibus—suggests that not only is Cynthia the passive object of the burning male gaze, but she has also provoked his desire through eye contact.
情色凝视在拉丁文学中对欲望的表现起着至关重要的作用:欲望本身就是由凝视产生的。在大多数情况下,这种凝视被描绘成男性,而女性是其静止的对象。此外,批评者经常认为这种凝视只是男性情人对女性情人的一种控制方式。然而,罗马诗人所代表的情况却无法简单归类。正如Patricia Salzman Mitchell(2005163-164)所观察到的,挽歌诗将puella描绘成男性凝视的对象;然而,由于被凝视了很长一段时间,就像仙女座被珀尔修斯盯着一样,她可以被视为对男性情人施加了统治,后者既被她的美丽惊呆了,又被他的激情麻痹了。Propertius 1.1的上联——Cynthia prima suis吝啬鬼我cepit ocellis/contactum nullis ante cupidinibus——表明Cynthia不仅是男性凝视的被动对象,而且她还通过眼神交流激发了他的欲望。
