Section Info: Thinking about Trauma through Athenian Drama: Ancient theater offered the space for reflecting upon the violence and trauma for its original audiences and for contemporary societies. This course focuses on the experiences of the ancients with war, trauma, and the plight of veterans, prisoners of war, and refugees. It also looks beyond Athenian theater to modern adaptations by theater companies, playwrights, directors and speaks to modern issues, making the plays respond to the ravages of contemporary wars, the experience of refugees, and gender violence: allowing them to speak directly to communities of color and issues of social justice. Readings include both ancient Greek plays and modern adaptations of select plays.
