Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A witty, inspiring reckoning with the ancient Greek and Roman myths and their legacy, from what they can illuminate about #MeToo to the radical imagery of Beyoncé.The picture of classical antiquity most of us learned in school is framed in certain ways -- glossing over misogyny while omitting the seeds of feminist resistance. Many of today's harmful practices, like school dress codes, exploitation of the environment, and rape culture, have their roots in the ancient world.But in Antigone Rising, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that the myths have subversive power because they are told -- and read -- in different ways. Through these stories, whether it's Antigone's courageous stand against tyranny or the indestructible Caeneus, who inspires trans and gender queer people today, Morales uncovers hidden truths about solidarity, empowerment, and catharsis.Antigone Rising offers a fresh understanding of the stories we take for granted, showing how we can reclaim them to challenge the status quo, spark resistance, and rail against unjust regimes. …

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Antigone Rising is a much-needed reckoning with the legacy of Greek and Roman myths, which explores everything from Beyoncé's chosen imagery to the origins of #MeToo.The picture of classical antiquity that we are taught in school is framed in misogynistic violence, the seeds of feminist resistance within them either omitted or outright ignored. In Antigone Rising, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that these myths can be read in very different ways and makes it clear that they are due a fresh understanding. In moments like Antigone's stand against tyranny or Procne and Philomela's punishing of a powerful rapist, Morales uncovers the hidden truths about solidarity and empowerment that exists within these familiar stories. Rather than continuing to use myth to justify harmful practices like diet culture and school dress codes, she shows how you can, instead, use them to challenge the status quo and rail against unjust regimes.Praise for ANTIGONE RISING:'This is not your usual "why the classics are crucial" book . . .

This is a book not just to read but to cherish' Dan-el Padillla Peralta, Associate Professor of Classics, Princeton 'This book not only helps us to recognize and understand the role that ancient myth plays in our cultural hardwiring. It also shows us how antiquity can be used to do something about it' Times Literary Supplement [Wildfire logo]ISBN 9781472273642Fiction [Cover credit][Author photo credit, if there is one][LINK ENTFERNT].…
