A Genealogy of Fraternal Alliance and Medicalized Abortion
This article advances a genealogy of the Hippocratic oath in Roe v. Wade. It excavates and analyzes the role that the Hippocratic oath plays in the majority opinion’s grounding of a right to abortion in the privacy of the physician-patient relation. I show that the classical Greek oath, which the opinion quotes and interprets at length, is really about a different relationship—not the one a physician has with a patient but the one a physician has…
The Greek Imaginary
The Split Surface of Patriotism
The Play of Conspiracy and Democratic Erosion in Plato'sRepublic
Does theRepublicdepict a conspiracy? The ostensible impetus for discussing profound political change behind closed doors is a desire to discuss the meaning of justice, not to replace a political order with a new one. But the dialogue takes place during the Peloponnesian War, when fears of plots sporadically consumed an eroding Athenian democracy. Arguments about political instability and instances of plotting reverberate throughout dialogue that …
Medea the Refugee
This essay reads Euripides'sMedea, the tragedy of filicide, as a critical investigation into the making of a refugee. Alongside the common claim that the drama depicting a wife murdering her children to punish an unfaithful husband is about gender inequity, I draw out another dimension: that the text's exploration of women's subordination doubles as a rendering of refuge seeking. Euripides introduces Medea as aphugas, the term for a person exiled…
Response to Yarbakhsh Elisabeth. Reading Derrida in Tehran
This critical engagement with Elisabeth Yarbaksh’s essay asks what Iran might be gaining from sustaining its particular form of (un-)hospitality. It considers whether Iranian dynamics of hospitality might be working to meet the specific political interests of the post-revolutionary “republic” and concludes with a comparison to classical Athenian migration (metoikia) politics
The Perpetual Immigrant and the Limits of Athenian Democracy
"In the fifth and fourth centuries BCE, immigrants called 'metics' (metoikoi) settled in Athens without a path to citizenship. Galvanized by these political realities, classical thinkers cast a critical eye on the nativism defining democracy's membership rules and explored the city's anxieties over intermingling and passing. Yet readers continue to treat immigration and citizenship as separate phenomena of little interest to theorists writing at …
Plato's open secret
The Tragedy of Blood-Based Membership
Classical Athens assimilated and disenfranchised a large, free immigrant population of “metics” on the basis of blood, generation after generation. Yet immigration politics remain a curiously displaced context for interpreting ancient Greek political thought and its instructive criticisms of democratic citizenship. Accordingly, Euripides’s Ion—the only classical text devoted to exploring the founding myth Athens used to naturalize metics’ exclusi…
