SUMMARY:Jonathan Prag | “Crossreads and I.Sicily: digital and interdisciplinary approaches to the epigraphy of ancient Sicily”
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Classics presents a talk by Jonathan Prag (Oxford University) on Friday\, November 22 at 12:00 PM. \nThe lecture entitled “Crossreads and I.Sicily: digital and interdisciplinary approaches to the epigraphy of ancient Sicily\,” will be held in Dodd 248. \nDescription:\n“Crossreads and I.Sicily: digital and interdisciplinary approaches to the epigraphy of ancient Sicily”\nThis talk presents the ongoing work of the I.Sicily and Crossreads projects. I.Sicily is a multilingual digital corpus of the inscriptions of ancient Sicily based upon fresh autopsy (sicily.classics.ox.ac.uk); Crossreads is 5-year ERC project developing and applying linguistic\, palaeographic and archaeometric analyses to this corpus (crossreads.web.ox.ac.uk). The ambition of both projects is to make the complex epigraphic heritage of Sicily more accessible and to cast new light upon the cultural history of Sicily through this rich corpus of evidence. The talk will explore some of the methodological challenges and present some of the results achieved so far.

SUMMARY:Giuseppe Pezzini | The Veil of the Name: Comedy in the Aeneid
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Monday\, October 28 at 4pm for Professor Giuseppe Pezzini (Corpus Christi College\, University of Oxford) who will be speaking on “The Veil of the Name: Comedy in the Aeneid\,” in Dodd 248. \nAll are welcome! \nDescription: \nThe lecture will explore an important yet neglected ingredient of Virgil’s recipe in the Aeneid\, namely Roman comedy\, preserved primarily through the works of Plautus and Terence. Readers of Roman comedy cannot help but recognize in Aeneid4 a web of comic motifs and situations that enrich its plot and characters\, stirring and manipulating readers’ (and characters’) expectations. Some of these motifs are not exclusively comic and appear in other genres and texts\, notably tragedy (as long recognized by Virgil scholars)\, yet their comic origin and implications should not be underestimated. After a brief but systematic overview of comic elements in Aeneid 4\, I will focus on ‘liminal’ tragic-comic features\, arguing that this process of genre hybridization evokes comic expectations only to ultimately subvert them.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Alex Walthall | A City in Transition: Reflections on Recent Investigations at Morgantina (Sicily)
DESCRIPTION:This lecture planned for Monday\, May 13th has been cancelled. \nA City in Transition: Reflections on Recent Investigations at Morgantina (Sicily) \nThis talk highlights the results of recent excavations carried out at the archaeological site of Morgantina in central Sicily\, work which has focused on a modestly appointed house of Early Hellenistic date and a temenos-like complex belonging to the period of Roman rule on Sicily. Both monuments—one private\, one public in nature—reveal much about life in the ancient city during moments of great political and social change. They also offer an opportunity to reflect on more recent historical biases in fieldwork practice at Morgantina as well as to set forth principles shaping the current generation of long-term research at the site. \n

SUMMARY:Vinzenz Brinkmann and Ulrike Koch-Brinkmann | Filling The Gap: New Considerations of the East Pediment of the Athenian Parthenon
DESCRIPTION:Filling The Gap: New Considerations of the East Pediment of the Athenian Parthenon \nFrom the ancient writer Pausanias\, we learn that the east pediment of the Athenian Parthenon depicted the birth of Athena. However\, the figures in the center of the pediment were probably destroyed as early as in early Christian times\, and for more than two hundred years\, archaeologists have discussed numerous reconstruction proposals for the missing figures and the names of the surviving sculptures without reaching a consensus. But perhaps researchers have overlooked the fact that certain reliefs on the lids of Roman sarcophagi copied the representations in the east pediment. \nIs it conceivable that we may be able to reliably reconstruct this largest and most important image of ancient Greece? The preserved fragments of those lost figures from the central part of the pediment seem to support this thesis.

SUMMARY:Dan-el Padilla Peralta | Classicism and other phobias: offense and defense
DESCRIPTION:This talk will outline the contents of a newly drafted book manuscript that queries the relationship(s) between classicism\, understood as a system of aesthetic determination and calibration that is not necessarily reducible to or coterminous with classics\, and Black life. The main argument is that classics has been overrepresented as if it is or should be the one privileged classicism\, in a historical process that is inseparable from the emergence of anti-Blackness. I begin with a general orientation to the book’s main aims\, offer a selection of teasers from the main chapters\, and conclude with a mix of protreptic and pugilism.
