WHEN WORLDS ELIDE; Classics Politics Culture

201042779Lexington Books. 2010. Softcover. Fine. For better or worse the ancient Greeks retain their cultural political and philosophical authority for contemporary educators and actors. Maureen Dowd has talked about the Hellenization of the Bush administration Thucydides has been used as a template to analyze the Iraqi War and the War on Terror Greek drama has been repeatedly performed in sometimes spectacular if unconventional ways while the Trojan War the battle of Thermopylae the Spartans and Alexander have all been the subjects of recent films. Last year the New York Times carried a front page story about "conservatives" taking a "new tack" by establishing "beachheads" for programs in Western Civilization and American Institutions in which the ancient Greeks hold pride of place. The contributors to When Worlds Elide are also invested in having Greek philosophy literature and political theory taken seriously in contemporary debates-whether over modes of interpreting Plato Athenian democracy gender ethnicity or materiality. What distinguishes this book is the substantive range of the essays in it and the generative potentialities of "using" ancient authors and events in analyzing these debates. It begins from the premise that "the Greeks" like "the French" or "the Chinese" obscures the contested histories of ethnic geographic and political formations in favor of an idealized dehistoricized collectivity. The also book also illustrates the ways in which ancient texts must be understood within the history of interpretative practices which means that "the Greeks" are more a moving target than a stable entity and that each generation of interlocutors formulates continually transforming questions readings and arguments. Finally this book supposes that an interrogation of "the Greek legacy" depends on interdisciplinary work where interdisciplinarity functions as a verb-that is something that is always in the process of being achieved.; Greek Studies: Interdisciplinary Approaches; 152.4 X 0.99 X 9 inches; 490 pages . 0739122754 .
