讲座
"Tragedy's Women as Subjects and Objects of the Gaze"

Date: Monday 10/26/09 Time: 5:30
Guest Speaker: Prof. Nancy Sorkin Rabinowitz 
Location: Murray Dining Hall Banquet Rooms 1+2

Film theory and in particular the feminist thinking coming from John Berger’s Ways of Seeing andLaura Mulvey’s work highlighted the ways in which male power is invested in 的目光; Mulvey argued that in mainstream cinema woman is disempowered as the object of 的目光. In ancient ideology, proper women were not to be the object of 的目光. In this paper, I will give an overview of the role of women in tragedy asking whether possessing 的目光 is necessarily empowering for women, and whether being the object of 的目光 is necessarily disempowering. The talk will “look” at such characters as Medea, Clytemnestra and Hecuba, as aggressive women who own 的目光, as well as Iphigenia (Oresteia, Iphigenia at Aulis), Polyxena (Hecuba), and Antigone, as sacrificial maidens.
