If you would like to attend the lecture in person, please, fill out the registration form. The three works are Donne’s Holy Sonnet “Batter my heart,” Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, and a tiny piece of Rabelais’ enormous Gargantua and Pantagruel. The lecture focuses on three works that attempt, in very different ways, to complicate and blur the moral and emotional focus of siege warfare, whether that focus is on the besieged, as it is in my first lecture, or the besieger, as it is in my second. Stephen Greenblatt, Cogan University Professor of the Humanities at Harvard, is the author of fourteen books, including the Tyrant: Shakespeare on Power The Swerve: How the World Became Modern and Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare. His honors include the Holberg Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Mellon Distinguished Humanist Award.
#Diogenes barrel series
Monday, J5:20PM Add to Calendar 15:40:00 17:20:00 NZD Annual Lecture Series | Stephen Greenblatt: Reports from a Besieged City | Lecture 3: Diogenes' Barrel If you would like to attend the lecture in person, please, fill out the registration form. The three works are Donne’s Holy Sonnet “Batter my heart,” Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida, and a tiny piece of Rabelais’ enormous Gargantua and Pantagruel. And hovering behind this concern is another one: is it possible not only to survive siege but also to escape from the siege mentality altogether? And can literature play a part in this escape? Diogenes Barrel is The Attic Gallerys online event series exploring all things Greek: culture, the arts, mythology, folklore, philosophy, ancient and modern. My concern in these lectures is with the production of literature in and about such conditions. The military encounter was very early extended symbolically to a wide range of experiences, from sinful temptation, to seduction, to internal conflict, to spiritual struggle, to the attempt to evade persecution and censorship, to epidemic disease. Its all-too-familiar features include a gathering menace, a retreat inside protective walls, desperate sallying forth, the calling in of allies, the launching of missiles, boredom, disease, and growing rage among the besiegers, hunger and internal dissension among the besieged, and the wholesale massacre of civilians. 33 quotes from Diogenes of Sinope: It is not that I am mad, it is only that my head is different from yours., Alexander the Great found the philosopher. Throughout much of history, siege warfare was a principal form of encounter between enemies, and, to our horror, recent events have returned it to the forefront of our consciousness.
