  • Apollo in Early Opera: Adapting His Multiple Ancient Cultic Functions to a Secular Renaissance Pantheon

    Judith SolomonARTICLEGreek and Roman Musical Studies2025

    Apollo’s ancient origins resulted in a variety of cultic functions and mythological associations. As the Greco-Roman god of music, it was as if Apollo played a symbolic role in overseeing the development of late-Renaissance/early Baroque musical theater. His multiple cultic functions and associated mythological narratives enabled librettists to portray him on stage as not just the god of music and father of Orpheus, but also as the lover of Daphn…

  • Youth sport during the Covid-19 pandemic: The influence of race and affluence on parents’ perspectives of youth participation

    Open AccessAmand L Hardiman, Daniel Fleming et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences & Humanities Open2024

    COVID-19 restrictions led to a nearly 50% decline in youth sport participation across the United States (Dorsch et al., 2021). Today, communities and sport organizations have resumed sport. However, research has yet to fully elucidate how COVID-19 restrictions impacted youth participation across different sociodemographic groups during the pandemic. The present study explored the association between race and affluence and their relationship with …

  • Knowledge Production and Epistemic Decolonization at the End of Pax Americana

    Naoki Sakai, Judith Solomon et al.BOOKKnowledge Production and…2023

    "This book critically analyzes the global hegemony of the United States - a hegemony whose innovative aspect consists in articulating postcoloniality to imperial control - in relation to knowledge and knowledge production. Through targeted case studies on the historical relationship between regional areas and the United States, the authors explore possibilities and obstacles to epistemic decolonization. By highlighting the connection between the …

  • The Waning of Greco-Roman Operas in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Eras

    Judith Solomon, Jon SolomonARTICLEIllinois Classical Studies2023

    The Greco-Roman tradition prevailed at the Paris Opéra from 1647 until the Revolution. Losing its royal privilege and criticized for presenting ancient mythological kings onstage, the Opéra produced works set in Republican Rome and democratic Greece, e.g., Horatius Coclès (1794) and Miltiade à Marathon (1793). The classical tradition continued in the use of ancient authors like Anacreon (Anacréon chez Polycrate—1797) and Euripides (Médée—1797) as…

  • Mythography and the Reception of Classical Mythology in the Renaissance, 1340–1600

    Judith Solomon, Jon SolomonCHAPTERThe Oxford Handbook of Greek and…2022

    This chapter surveys the Greco-Roman mythological tradition from the mid-14th century to the late 16th. It begins with Bersuire, who continued the medieval tradition of allegorizing Ovid’s Metamorphoses, and Boccaccio, who continued the genealogical tradition in his Genealogia deorum gentilium and wrote several additional influential works. Boccaccio was the first humanist scholar to incorporate ancient Greek texts, albeit only the Homeric epics.…

  • The Financialization of Knowledge and the Pooling of Populations

    Judith Solomon, Jon SolomonARTICLEpositions asia critique2019Cited by: 1References: 4

    This essay presents a genealogy of the postcolonial/postimperial apparatus of area and charts its contemporary mutation in relation to the transition currently underway from industrial capitalism to bioinformatic capitalism. The restructuring of the university into a service industry that debuted in the 1990s has dramatically affected the milieu in which area studies are practiced. The key to understanding this dramatic change is to be found in t…

  • Disorganized attachment in infancy: A review of the phenomenon and its implications for clinicians and policy-makers

    Open AccessPehr Granqvist, L Alan Sroufe et al.ARTICLEAttachment & Human Development2017

    Disorganized/Disoriented (D) attachment has seen widespread interest from policy makers, practitioners, and clinicians in recent years. However, some of this interest seems to have been based on some false assumptions that (1) attachment measures can be used as definitive assessments of the individual in forensic/child protection settings and that disorganized attachment (2) reliably indicates child maltreatment, (3) is a strong predictor of path…

  • Logistical Species and Translational Process: A Critique of the Colonial-Imperial Modernity

    Judith SolomonARTICLEIntermédialités Histoire et…2017Cited by: 2

    This essay aims to sketch a theory of translation that would be of use in drawing links between three different types of divisions present in all modern societies: the disciplinary divisions within the institutional organization of scientific and humanistic knowledge; the geocultural/geopolitical divisions among global populations; and the economic divisions of labour, both in its external relation to capital and in the internal relations of diff…

  • The Idea of Art Music in a Commercial World, 1800-1930

    Open AccessJudith Solomon, David C H Wright et al.BOOKIdea of Art Music in a Commercial…2016

    Art and money, culture and commerce, have long been seen as uncomfortable bedfellows. Indeed, the connections between them have tended to resist full investigation, particularly in the musical sphere. The Idea of Art Music in a Commercial World, 1800-1930 , is a collection of essays that present fresh insights into the ways in which art music, i.e., classical music, functioned beyond its newly established aesthetic purpose (art for art's sake) an…

  • The Politics of Attachment: Lines of Flight with Bowlby, Deleuze and Guattari

    Open AccessR Duschinsky, Marinella Greco et al.ARTICLETheory Culture & Society2015Cited by: 11References: 7

    Research on attachment is widely regarded in sociology and feminist scholarship as politically conservative - oriented by a concern to police families, pathologize mothers and emphasize psychological at the expense of socio-economic factors. These critiques have presented attachment theory as constructing biological imperatives to naturalize contingent, social demands. We propose that a more effective critique of the politically conservative uses…

  • Wait Up: Attachment and Sovereign Power

    Open AccessR Duschinsky, Marinella Greco et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Politics…2014Cited by: 8References: 8

    Sociologists and feminist scholars have, over many decades, characterised attachment as a social construction that functions to support political and gender conservatism. We accept that attachment theory has seen use to these ends and consider recent deployments of attachment theory as justification for a minimal State within conservative political discourse in the UK since 2009. However, we contest that attachment is reducible to its discursive …
