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: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.
