Legerdemain/Gaucherie: Doodle Theory with Barthes and Beckett
This article stages a dialogue between Roland Barthes and Samuel Beckett by characterizing and comparing their tendencies to indulge in doodles and drawings, both of which have been the subject of increased critical interest (and even public exhibition) in recent years. Surveying such recent criticism, the article begins by connecting Barthes's and Beckett's respective ways of drawing to theoretical and aesthetic concerns of their writing. Then, …
Rhetoric and Rhythm - Derrida, Nancy and the Poetics of Drawing
Opening with a consideration of the distribution of the two graphic acts - drawing and writing - this article offers a comparative study of Jacques Derrida's and Jean-Luc Nancy's respective exhibitions and catalogue essays on the subject of drawing. Through a comparative examination of what I take to be their central theoretical contributions to the study of drawing - Derrida its 'rhetoric', Nancy its 'rhythm' - this article moves on to suggest h…
Dilection: On the Phenomenology of Child Drawing and the Genesis of Poetic Expression
In light of a contemporary reinvigoration of the discourse of drawing, this article reconsiders the frontier between writing and drawing as expressive comportments, specifically through the theoretical discourse of child drawing.

The Ancient Quarrel Between Poetry and Philosophy
Affecting audiences with depictions of suffering and injustice is a key function of tragedy, and yet it has long been viewed by philosophers as a dubious enterprise. In this book Thomas Gould uses both historical and theoretical approaches to explore tragedy and its power to gratify readers and audiences. He takes as his starting point Plato's moral and psychological objections to tragedy, and the conflict he recognized between "poetry"--the expl…
Greek Tragedy
The essays in volume 25 of Yale Classical Studies were specially commissioned by the editors to provide a cross-section of contemporary approaches to the interpretation of Greek tragedy. All three Attic dramatists receive attention, some essays being studies of a play as a whole, others concentrating on some particular passage or theme. Greek passages are translated so this volume should be of use and interest not only to classical specialists bu…
