In this <span class="SpellE">Harpur</span> <span class="GramE">W(</span><span class="SpellE">riting</span>) course students will practice analytical and creative writing skills for audiences of readers and listeners/spectators.

We will look at these women as entertaining and stimulating visions of the feminine and unfeminine (whatever those may mean), as perceived by the cultures that originally watched them and in our own day. This course approaches Greek and Roman dramatic scripts, both tragic and comic, as vehicles for presentation of social norms and anomalies at public festivals and for general entertainment. As public works, these texts offer us a chance to understand gender issues and social mores as presented by actors. We will also examine and practice with ancient theater techniques to better understand the presentation of females by male actors, and we will discuss the venues and genres in which women played female characters to examine the differences gender makes in perception of character and in their real lives as working women. Students will gain familiarity with these plays and characters through ample script analysis, artistic and aesthetic interpretation, discussion, performance, feminist theoretical readings, and oral and written presentations of original work.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Rounded MT Bold&quot;;color:yellow"><br> </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Rounded MT Bold&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Big Caslon&quot;;color:yellow"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>This course must begin with Aeschylus <span class="GramE"><i>Oresteia</i>&nbsp; as</span> a powerful commentary on early classical Athenian impressions of women, motherhood and the feminine/masculine dichotomy presented before a public audience.&nbsp; Several of Euripides war plays (<i>Andromache, Trojan Women, Hecuba</i>) focused on the defeated Trojan women address both standard societal observations on women in crisis and a developing dramatic intensity in Euripides female roles. <i>Medea </i>shows that Euripides actively thought about his presentation of the feminine and unfeminine in his dramatic constructions, and give voice to the foreign woman in a Greek context. <span class="GramE"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Alcestis </i><span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp;</span>addresses</span> the many (and sometimes ultimate) sacrifices of women in Greek societies. The rescue drama<i> Ion</i> presents rape as a serious and complex social offense against women, but also shows a growing attraction for dramatic resolution found in reconciliation and restoration of domestic peace, while <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Helen</i> examines the damaged model of the traditional Helen through an <span class="GramE">alternate<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">&nbsp; </span>reality</span> in exotic Egypt.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Rounded MT Bold&quot;; color:yellow"><br> </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Rounded MT Bold&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Big Caslon&quot;;color:yellow"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Aristophanes  women plays (<i>Lysistrata, Thesmophoriazousai, Ekklesiazousai</i>), while resting firmly on the comic appeal of offering male stereotypes of women, also raise new social issues regarding the role women played in Athenian civic and religious life, and address Euripides approach to presentation of the tragic woman. Three of Plautus  darker social comedies (<i>Bacchides, Casina, Truculentus</i>) show a continuing fascination with women at the center of dramatic structure and offer significant voice to women s comments on their public and domestic roles in Hellenistic Greek society, and sometimes glimpses of their place in Roman society. A selection of Hellenistic and late Greek mime scripts will help further develop this picture of women s dual lives and indicate some of the few roles actually played by actresses on Greek and Roman stages. We will end with Seneca s <i>Medea </i>and<i> Trojan Women</i> to study his differing dramatic techniques, philosophical concerns and Roman imperial impressions regarding tragic Greek women.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&quot;Arial Rounded MT Bold&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Big Caslon&quot;;color:yellow"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Each play will also be investigated through modern cinematic, theatrical, choreographic, musical or art historical (ancient and modern) reflections and refractions of these iconic figures in theater history.
