Originalhardcover. Zustand: Gut. 254 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht berieben, sonst ein tadelloses Exemplar / binding slightly rubbed, otherwise a pristine copy. - In this groundbreaking work, Patrice D. Rankine asserts that the classics need not be a mark of Eurocentrism, as they have long been considered. Instead, the classical tradition can be part of a self-conscious, prideful approach to African American culture, esthetics, and identity. Ulysses in Black demonstrates that, similar to their white counterparts, African American authors have been students of classical languages, literature, and mythologies by such writers as Homer, Euripides, and Seneca. Ulysses in Black closely analyzes classical themes (the nature of love and its relationship to the social, Dionysus in myth as a parallel to the black protagonist in the American scene, misplaced Ulyssean manhood) as seen in the works of such African American writers as Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, and Countee Cullen. Rankine finds that the merging of a black esthetic with the classicscontrary to expectations throughout American culturehas often been a radical addressing of concerns including violence against blacks, racism, and oppression. Ultimately, this unique study of black classicism becomes an exploration of America's broader cultural integrity, one that is inclusive and historic. / Contents Prologue: Preparing for the Journey of Ulysses in Black 1.

Hardcover with dust jacket. Zustand: Sehr gut. XV, 254 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag am Buchrücken leicht bestoßen, sonst ein tadelloses Exemplar / Dust jacket slightly bumped at spine, otherwise a pristine copy. - Described by Martin Luther King Jr. as both moral reflection and political act, the performance of civil disobedience in the face of unjust laws is, Patrice Rankine argues, a deeply artistic practice. Modern parallels to King's civil disobedience can be found in black theater, where the black body challenges the normative assumptions of classical texts and modes of creation. Rankine utilizes Aristotles Poetics to understand the theater of civil disobedience. He ably invokes the six aspects of Aristotelian dramacharacter, story, thought, spectacle, song, and dictionto demonstrate the re-appropriation and rejection of these themes in the works of black playwrights August Wilson, Adrienne Kennedy, Eugene O'Neill, and others. And from this exercise, Aristotle and Black Drama derives from the theater of civil disobedience a tension that still exists between modernity and black identity. / Contents List of Illustrations Prologue 1 Introduction Civil Disobedience as Resistance to Tradition and Performance 2 Classical Origins of Character and Adrienne Kennedy's Funnyhouse of a Negro, Electra, and Orestes 3 The Oedipus Story and the Perfect Play, or the Gospel According to Rita Dove The Darker Face of the Earth and Sonata Mulattica: A Life in Five Movements and a Short Play 4 Racial Intent and Dramatic Form Eugene O'Neill's All God's Chillun Got Wings and The Emperor Jones 5 Aristotle's "Spectacle" and August Wilson's "Spectacle Character" Joe Turner's Come and Gone 6 Freedom Songs and Metaphors of Healing Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra, Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, and Suzan-Lori Parks' Venus and Topdog/Underdog 7 Civil Disobedience, Truth and Reconciliation, and the Cosmopolitan Citizen Charles Smith's The Gospel According to James, Thomas Bradshaw's Mary, David Mamet's Race, and Bruce Norris' Clybourne Park Epilogue References Index.
