Reading Greek Tragedy with Judith Butler
Considering Butler’s “tragic trilogy”—a set of interventions on Sophocles’ Antigone, Euripides’ Bacchae, and Aeschylus’s Eumenides—this book seeks to understand not just how Butler uses and interprets Greek tragedy, but also how tragedy shapes Butler’s thinking, even when their gaze is directed elsewhere. Through close readings of these tragedies, this book brings to light the tragic quality of Butler’s writing. It shows how Butler’s mode of read…

Orpheus, Euridice, and the classical tradition in Christian Bök’s Xenotext
Christian Bök’s Xenotext project aims to encode a poem (‘Orpheus’) into the genome of an extremophile bacterium in such a way that the bacterium will produce another poem (‘Euridice’) in response. This project, which Bök has been working on for at least a decade, saw a major milestone in 2015 with the publication of Xenotext One (Coach House Books), a collection of poems and theoretical statements related to the central project. Xenotext One cont…
Philology and Greek Literature
This essay provides an overview of the recent revival of interest in philology (a discipline in which both textual criticism and interpretation are at home). Although Greek and Latin have long been central to philological practice, this has changed, and a new renaissance in philology is emerging in the modern languages and comparative literature. Nonetheless, it is clear that this new, global, and comparative philology owes much to Greek philolog…
Resonance
Scholars tend to agree that Aeschylus' choice of material for the Persae was overdetermined: the battle at Salamis and its lead-up constituted a moment of the highest trauma and pride for the Athenian demos , one that could be accommodated to a well-known narrative framework (that of great pride followed by a great fall) and exploited as an exploration of the relations between (Athenian) Greek and Persian other. But in this essay I propose to set…

Beyond the Twelve tables, the responsa of early jurists, the interpretations of pontifices, the actiones formulated by praetors, and finally the formulary system, which all found their way into Roman law, all complicated questions of law beyond the comprehension of lay people.

Verres and the Scene of Rewriting
This essay explores the fictionality of the second actio of Cicero's prosecution of Verres in the light of Verres' history of tampering with documents. It argues that both Verres' altered tabulae and Cicero's fictional speech summon communal memory by displaying an absence—with the crucial difference that Verres' alterations to the public record are culpable, while Cicero's are not. Cette étude se penche sur l'aspect fictif de la seconde action c…

On Text-Critical Melancholy
This essay discusses a lost chapter in the history of the textual criticism of Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis: G. Hermann's 1847 De Interpolationibus Euripideae Iphigeniae in Aulide. I argue that this work, like all textual criticisms in classics, aims to represent not the image of a lost original, but rather a singular image of textual history and formal change. This has consequences for the reading of critical texts in general, which do not aim …
