The Intersection of Brazil's Racial Ideology and African Foreign Policy: The Geisel Administration at the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (Festac'77)
This article examines the ways in which Brazil's African foreign policy during the Ernesto Geisel administration (1974-9) utilised notions of 'racial democracy' and the nation's Africanity in framing itself as an intrinsic partner to the continent across the Atlantic. It does this through an analysis of Brazil's involvement at the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC'77, 15 January-12 February 1977), hosted in Lagos…
Homeric scholarship in the pulpit: The case of Eustathius’ sermons
Many classicists are familiar with Eustathius (c.1115–95) through his huge Homeric commentaries or Parekbolai. He is thought to have composed these, along with studies of Pindar, Aristophanes, and Dionysius the Periegete, while working as a teacher in Constantinople, and he continued to revise them later in life while Archbishop of Thessalonike.1 Quite different parts of Eustathius’ output, however, have attracted attention from Byzantinists, par…
Representation and Novelty in Aeschylus’ Theoroi
This article argues in favour of the view that in Theoroi (a.k.a. Isthmiastai) the satyrs had absconded from Dionysus’ choral training, and dedicate a set of votive masks on Poseidon’s Isthmian temple. I propose that at the end of fr. 78c Dionysus offers them javelins and suggests that they dance a pyrrhikhe. This plot rests on a blurring of the distinctions between satyr, human character, and human performer. I interpret how Aeschylus managed pl…
Arts-based research methods with indigenous peoples: An international scoping review
Research with indigenous peoples worldwide carries long histories of exploitation, distorted representation, and theft. New “indigenizing” methodologies centre the production of knowledge around the processes and knowledges of indigenous communities. Creative research methods involving artistic practices—such as photovoice, journaling, digital storytelling, dance, and theatre—may have a place within these new approaches, but their applications ha…
