À propos de ce contenu audio
Does there exist an authority in interpreting the Classics? Who gets the final say on what messages ancient authors really intended to convey? Throughout the growth of classical scholarship, different groups have claimed ownership of the mantle to continue the Graeco-Roman legacy, but when all work is done through interpretation, who's to say that one reading is more authentic than another? And what happens when some groups decide to use the Classics to discriminate and denigrate another? Join me and my guest Daniel Whittle on a journey through these questions about how to achieve authenticity in interpretation. We focus on the writings of formerly enslaved African-Americans in the 18th-19th c., who communicated their experiences through Classical tropes, stories, and characters, and found not only comfort but also a way to dispel racist ideology around who could become a proprietor of the classical tradition.
