Download or read book The Captive Woman s Lament in Greek Tragedy written by Casey Dué and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The laments of captive women found in extant Athenian tragedy constitute a fundamentally subversive aspect of Greek drama. In performances supported by and intended for the male citizens of Athens, the songs of the captive women at the Dionysia gave a voice to classes who otherwise would have been marginalized and silenced in Athenian society: women, foreigners, and the enslaved. The Captive Woman's Lament in Greek Tragedy addresses the possible meanings ancient audiences might have attached to these songs. Casey Dué challenges long-held assumptions about the opposition between Greeks and barbarians in Greek thought by suggesting that, in viewing the plight of the captive women, Athenian audiences extended pity to those least like themselves. Dué asserts that tragic playwrights often used the lament to create an empathetic link that blurred the line between Greek and barbarian. After a brief overview of the role of lamentation in both modern and classical traditions, Dué focuses on the dramatic portrayal of women captured in the Trojan War, tracing their portrayal through time from the Homeric epics to Euripides' Athenian stage. The author shows how these laments evolved in their significance with the growth of the Athenian Empire. She concludes that while the Athenian polis may have created a merciless empire outside the theater, inside the theater they found themselves confronted by the essential similarities between themselves and those they sought to conquer.
Download or read book A Young Girl s Diary written by Sigmund Freud and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Young Girl's Diary" (also known as "The Diary of Anna O." or "Case Histories II") is not written by Sigmund Freud. Instead, it is a case study and collection of clinical notes by Dr. Josef Breuer, a prominent Austrian physician, and psychiatrist, and Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. The diary belongs to a patient named Anna O., whose real name was Bertha Pappenheim. Bertha Pappenheim was a young woman who suffered from a range of psychological and physical symptoms, including hysteria and what was then referred to as "conversion disorder." She was one of the first patients to undergo psychoanalysis, and her treatment with Dr. Breuer laid the foundation for many psychoanalytic concepts developed by Freud and others. The diary is a compilation of Bertha's thoughts, experiences, and emotions during her treatment, as recorded by Dr. Breuer. It includes her descriptions of her symptoms, dreams, and associations, providing valuable insights into the early practice of psychoanalysis. While "A Young Girl's Diary" is not a work by Sigmund Freud, it is an important historical document in the development of psychoanalysis and the understanding of psychological disorders. Freud later built upon the insights gained from cases like Anna O.'s in his own works, such as "Studies on Hysteria" and "The Interpretation of Dreams."

Download or read book Did Ye Hear Mammy Died written by Séamas O'Reilly and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heart-warming and hilarious family memoir of growing up as one of eleven siblings raised by a single dad in Northern Ireland at the end of the Troubles. Séamas O’Reilly’s mother died when he was five, leaving him, his ten (!) brothers and sisters, and their beloved father in their sprawling bungalow in rural Derry. It was the 1990s; the Troubles were a background rumble, but Séamas was more preoccupied with dinosaurs, Star Wars, and the actual location of heaven than the political climate. An instant bestseller in Ireland, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? is a book about a family of loud, argumentative, musical, sarcastic, grief-stricken siblings, shepherded into adulthood by a man whose foibles and reticence were matched only by his love for his children and his determination that they would flourish. “In this joyous, wildly unconventional memoir, Séamas O'Reilly tells the story of losing his mother as a child and growing up with ten siblings in Northern Ireland during the final years of the Troubles as a raucous comedy, a grand caper that is absolutely bursting with life.”―Patrick Radden Keefe, NYT bestselling author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain One of NPR’s Best Books of the Year
Download or read book The Names of All the Flowers written by Melissa Valentine and published by The Feminist Press at CUNY. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “poignant, painful, and gorgeous” memoir that explores siblinghood, adolescence, and grief for a family shattered by loss (Alicia Garza, cocreator, Black Lives Matter). Melissa and her older brother Junior grow up running around the disparate neighborhoods of 1990s Oakland, two of six children to a white Quaker father and a black Southern mother. But as Junior approaches adolescence, a bullying incident and later a violent attack in school leave him searching for power and a sense of self in all the wrong places; he develops a hard front and falls into drug dealing. Right before Junior’s twentieth birthday, the family is torn apart when he is murdered as a result of gun violence. The Names of All the Flowers connects one tragic death to a collective grief for all black people who die too young. A lyrical recounting of a life lost, Melissa Valentine’s debut memoir is an intimate portrait of a family fractured by the school-to-prison pipeline and an enduring love letter to an adored older brother. It is a call for justice amid endless cycles of violence, grief, and trauma, declaring: “We are all witness and therefore no one is spared from this loss.” “A portrait of a place, a person who died too young, the systems that led to that death, and the keen insights of the author herself. Lyrical and smart, with appropriate undercurrents of rage.” —Emily Raboteau, author of Searching for Zion “Eloquently poignant.” —Kirkus Reviews
