Harvard University Press, Cambridge (Mass.) / London, 1987. XI,100p. Cloth wrps. Upper edge a bit foxed. Wrps a tiny bit damaged. 'Personnage méprisé dans la réalité politique, la femme ne se met à exister, aux jeux de la cité, que lorsqu'il s'agit d'imaginer sa mort au théâtre. Bien plus qu'une étude sur un thème de la tragédie, 'Façons tragiques de tuer une femme', en postulant judicieusement l'unité du genre tragique, offre à l'anthropologie de l'Antiquité un modèle remarquable pour une réflexion sur la fonction et le rôle spécifique de la tragédie dans la cité. Sous-tendue par le désir d'interroger la raison qui au Ve siècle poussait le citoyen à se rendre au théâtre pour y voir des morts de femmes, pariant sur l'importance d'une histoire de l'imaginaire, l'analyse de N. Loreaux suggère une réponse qui paraît fondamentale à qui veut mieux comprendre le fonctionnement des institutions de la cité. Parce qu'elle se risque à imaginer ce que la réalité politique voulait ignorer, la tragédie se révèle être la nécessaire contrepartie de cet autre genre civique qu'est l'histoire. En rêvant, le temps d'une représentation fictive, à la mort des femmes, les citoyens pourraient bien avoir gagné de mieux accepter une histoire qui idéalisait si bien la mort des hommes. (DAVID BOUVIER on the French original publication in Revue d'histoire des religions, 1988, p.208). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. Antiquarian.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A vivid demonstration of how women die in Greek tragedy...Exciting and erudite... the graceful scholarship and sound judgment that Loraux demonstrates should nudge the classical tradition toward more writing in this direction.--John Chioles "New York Times Book Review " Remarkable not only for the breadth and precision of its scholarship and the refined subtlety of its interpretations but also for the wealth of meaningful connections it suggests... Challenging and brilliant throughout... Its exploration of the social, psychological, and physical implications of the deaths the poets contrived for their female characters adds a new dimension to our understanding of Attic tragedy.--Bernard Knox "New York Review of Books " Loraux elegantly unfolds from the language of tragedy a discourse about women... This is a very fine book, which opens new dimensions in our understanding of Athenian civic ideology, tragedy's paradoxical nature as both relaxing and confirming boundaries, and the social dynamics of gender distinctions.--William G. Thalmann "Philosophy and Literature "

Anbieterinformationen

Scrinium Classical Antiquity, member of the Dutch Association of Antiquarian Booksellers (NVvA - ILAB), stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
