Imprints of Dance in Ancient Greece and Rome
This book explores the many traces of ancient Greek and Roman dance, the impressions, reimaginations, and impronts of bodily movement and choreography evident in the literary, visual, and material sources of Greek and Roman antiquity
Queer Euripides: Re-Readings in Greek Tragedy
This volume is the first attempt to reconsider the entire corpus of an ancient canonical author through the lens of queerness broadly conceived, taking as its subject Euripides, the latest of the three great Athenian tragedians. Although Euripides’ plays have long been seen as a valuable source for understanding the construction of gender and sexuality in ancient Greece, scholars of Greek tragedy have only recently begun to engage with queer theo…

Pindar, Paean 6: Genre as Embodied Cultural Knowledge
This paper explains how the relationship between genre and performance context shifts when choral song is reperformed as sympotic monody. Using Pindar’s Paean 6 as a case study, I demonstrate that such songs may strategically engage their audiences’ sensory memories of performance and spectatorship. These memories constitute a form of “embodied cultural knowledge,” a conceptual framework that situates individual somatic experience in relation to …
Kinesthetic Choreia: Empathy, Memory, and Dance in Ancient Greece
Les danseuses en Grèce antique. Performance, capacité d'agir et divertissement1
La « danse grecque antique » évoque en général des images de chœurs imposants et de festivités dionysiaques, ou encore d’Isadora Duncan dansant au milieu des ruines de l’Acropole. Dans cet article, j’étudie une figure peu connue de la danseuse de l’Antiquité : l’orchestris, ou danseuse de banquet. De ces femmes, marginalisées par leur genre et leur classe, il ne demeure que des traces éparses dans la littérature et les vestiges matériels. En réun…
Dossier : Aitia: Causalité juridique, causalité philosophique
Dossier : Avant de devenir la notion clé de la réflexion philosophique, aitia désigne, dans son origine préphilosophique et juridique, la responsabilité et l’accusation. Ce recueil analyse les différentes facettes de la causalité juridique et philosophique ainsi que leur influence réciproque, à travers un dialogue entre juristes, historiens de la philosophie et du droit, spécialistes de la rhétorique et de la tragédie grecques. Varia : Images, na…
Conceptualizing Choreia on the François vase: Theseus and the Athenian Youths
This article considers the visual representation of choral performance on the François vase. Putting aside the questions of temporal and narrative setting that have dominated discussions of the Theseus frieze, I contend that the vase offers us an illuminating image of choreia, which clearly articulates the relationships and differences between the choreographer (Theseus), the dancers (the fourteen youths) and non-dancing spectators (the sailors).…
Maculate Conception: Sexual Ideology and Creative Authority in Heliodorus' Aethiopica
This article reconsiders the role of sexual and romantic ideology in Heliodorus' Aethiopica , focusing particularly on Persinna's account of her daughter's conception. I contend that the triangulated sexual dynamics of the conception deviate from the binary, symmetrical romantic model embodied by Charicleia and Theagenes, complicating the novel's apparent norms. I suggest that the sexual multiplicity of Charicleia's conception mirrors the narrati…
