SUMMARY:Adriana Vazquez | Reading Latin Subtexts in the Vernacular Poetry of the Brazilian Colonial Period
DESCRIPTION:Departmental Brownbag Workshop \nProfessor Adriana Vazquez: “Reading Latin Subtexts in the Vernacular Poetry of the Brazilian Colonial Period” \nIn his contribution to the 2020 volume Conversations: Classical Imitation in Renaissance Literature\, Stephen Hinds\, analyzing the parallel Latin and vernacular poems of Marvell and Milton\, concludes by offering the provocative suggestion of the ‘virtual diptych’: for any vernacular poem composed by a poet for whom Latin was an available language of composition\, a posited Latin version\, or translation\, of that poem could offer insights into the vernacular text. Applying Hinds’ concept of the ‘virtual diptych’ to Lusophone poetry\, I offer a reading of the Portuguese texts of the Brazilian colonial period through the lens of bilingual intertextuality to reveal a virtual Latin substratum\, adapted to a colonial and New World context. Such an analysis illuminates the complex allusive relationship between this body of poetry and the Latin literature which served as an important source of its inspiration\, at a time when vernacular composition continued to compete with Neo-Latin production.

SUMMARY:James Uden | The Politics of Pathos in Virgil's Aeneid
DESCRIPTION:Virgil’s particular attention to human suffering has long been identified as a defining aspect of his poetry\, but critics have had widely different views on the politics of Virgilian pathos. Is empathy for the defeated in the Aeneid a way of undermining the triumphalist claims of Augustus (e.g. Putnam 1965)? Or does the poem’s famous melancholy in fact encourage its readers to accept the losses they endure\, thereby neutralizing anger and resistance (Habinek 1998)? Drawing inspiration from Judith Butler’s essay collection Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence\, this paper proposes a different way forward. Rather than celebrating the victory of one side over the other\, Virgil encourages us to understand our shared vulnerability to injury as a foundation for political community. At the same time\, not every character in the epic is judged worthy of the same empathy and grief\, and the poet thereby sharpens our attention to those whom society has deemed less “grievable”. Virgilian pathos\, I argue\, is not the poet’s insular\, subjective response to the society around him; it is a political vision grounded in a close attention to the precarity of others’ lives.

SUMMARY:Barbara L. Packer Lectures: Yopie Prins | Reversing Classical Meters
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for the Barbara L. Packer Lectures featuring Yopie Prins\, the Irene Butter Collegiate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan. \nIn her talk\, Professor Prins asks what is the past and future of classical models for English versification? Nineteenth-century ideas about the revival of classical meters in English poetry prompted a wide range of metrical experiments in Victorian England and America: strange attempts to translate quantitative classical verse into English accentual-syllabic verse\, and conversely\, to translate English verse into Greek and Latin meters. Was this a dead-end for Victorian prosody? How might we read the reversing of Classical meters today? \nRegister here for onsite attendance in Kaplan Hall 193 or online attendance on Zoom. \nCo-sponsored by UCLA Department of Classics. \nYopie Prins is the Irene Butter Collegiate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan.  She is the author of Victorian Sappho (1999) and Ladies’ Greek: Victorian Translations of Tragedy (2017) and co-editor\, with Virginia Jackson\, of The Lyric Theory Reader (2014). \nPer UCLA COVID-19 protocols\, all attendees are required to complete the UCLA COVID-19 Symptom Monitoring Survey in order to enter the event. Masks are strongly recommended for attendees who are up to date on vaccinations\, and they are required for attendees who are not up to date on vaccinations. \nQuestions about the event?

SUMMARY:Barbara L. Packer Lectures: Yopie Prins | Anne Carson [     ] Sappho
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for the Barbara L. Packer Lectures featuring Yopie Prins\, the Irene Butter Collegiate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan. \nIn If Not\, Winter: Fragments of Sappho (2002)\, Anne Carson famously uses brackets [     ] in her translations from Greek to English\, to mark what is missing from the Sapphic fragments and also to imply “a space for imaginal adventure.” In her talk\, Professor Prins looks more closely at how the bracket itself is translated in Carson’s reworking of Sappho in other media: a hand-painted mini-book\, the environmental installation of “Cliff Sappho\,” and a performance piece entitled “BRACKO.” \nRegister here for onsite attendance in Kaplan Hall 193 or online attendance on Zoom. \nCo-sponsored by UCLA Department of Classics. \nYopie Prins is the Irene Butter Collegiate Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan.  She is the author of Victorian Sappho (1999) and Ladies’ Greek: Victorian Translations of Tragedy (2017) and co-editor\, with Virginia Jackson\, of The Lyric Theory Reader (2014). \nPer UCLA COVID-19 protocols\, all attendees are required to complete the UCLA COVID-19 Symptom Monitoring Survey in order to enter the event. Masks are strongly recommended for attendees who are up to date on vaccinations\, and they are required for attendees who are not up to date on vaccinations. \nQuestions about the event?

SUMMARY:Rosa Andújar | Philological Reception and the Repeating Odyssey in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:This lecture discusses La Odilea by Francisco Chofre\, a Cuban prose adaptation of the Odyssey\, which refigures both Homer’s heroes as guajiros (peasants) and the ancient epic itself through the adoption of an oral Cuban dialect. My examination first highlights Chofre’s meticulous linguistic transformations\, which I consider a model of “philological” reception\, as well as the ambiguous and complex relationship that Chofre posits between his work and the ancient epic\, one which oscillates between irreverence and veneration of Homer. I then explore the broader questions that this text poses regarding vernacularity and canon\, as well as their implications in La Odilea’s two main contexts: the Cuban Revolution and the postcolonial Caribbean. Chofre’s novel reveals the Odyssey’s unique resonance across the Caribbean while also challenging existing models of classical reception.

SUMMARY:UCLA Department of Classics Joan Palevsky Lecture | Dr Jennifer Stager\, "Cut from the Womb: Towards a Feminist History of Ancient Greek Medicine”
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Classics Department is pleased to announce that the Joan Palevsky Lecture in Classics for 2022 will be delivered by Jennifer Stager\, Assistant Professor of History of Art at Johns Hopkins University. \nTaking its title from the god Asklepios’s violent birth (Pindar Pythian 3) and the priorities that this myth set for ancient Greek medicine\, in this talk Jennifer Stager will explore the construction of a patrilineal genealogy of ancient medicine back to the god Asklepios\, as well as a counter history to this genealogy connected with the goddess Hygeia. Written medical texts and visual representations staged ties between the doctor and Asklepios\, eventually co-opting Hygeia’s position. Analyzing visual representations of healers and medical tools\, as well as epigraphic\, literary\, and philosophical texts connected to healing practices\, Professor Stager will trace the often violent construction of this patrilineal genealogy alongside its counter history. \nAll are very welcome to attend this event\, which will be held in person. Please RSVP here. \nImage caption: Images of surgical tools inside an open case flanked by cupping vessels carved onto a marble base. Marble. c. 320 BCE\, Athens NAM 1378
