中文简介:
正如我们从“亨特的荷马”这个庞大的时间段中广泛阅读的那样,我们将通过更广泛的问题来阅读我们对古代和中世纪文本的阅读,这些问题包括:在这段时期内出现了什么样的图像,主题和哲学问题;是否有明显的“古典”或“中世纪”方式来描绘或解决它们;什么像“古代”或“中世纪”这样的术语甚至意味着什么? (例如,“中间”的中世纪是什么?)我们的文本将包括旅行和自我发现的冒险故事(荷马的奥德赛和但丁的地狱);复仇与和解的法庭戏剧(Aeschylus的Oresteia和冰岛的Njá ls saga);爱与变换的短诗(奥维德的变形记和法兰西的莱斯);和战争,国家建设和帝国的史诗(荷马的伊利亚特,维吉尔的埃涅伊德和盎格鲁撒克逊人的贝奥武夫)。
课程简介: As we read broadly from throughout the vast chronological period that is "Homer to Dante," we will pepper our readings of individual ancient and medieval texts with broader questions like: what images, themes, and philosophical questions recur through the period; are there distinctly "classical" or "medieval" ways of depicting or addressing them; and what do terms like "Antiquity" or "the Middle Ages" even mean? (What are the Middle Ages in the "middle" of, for example?) Our texts will include adventure tales of travel and self-discovery (Homer's Odyssey and Dante's Inferno); courtroom dramas of vengeance and reconciliation (Aeschylus's Oresteia and the Icelandic Njáls saga); short poems of love and transformation (Ovid's Metamorphoses and the Lais of Marie de France); and epics of war, nation-construction, and empire (Homer's Iliad, Virgil's Aeneid, and the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf).
