(4) | Keine | A groundbreaking examination of power relations in Roman elegy In recent decades, scholars in the field of classics have paid increasing attention to gender and sexual politics in Latin elegiac poetry. In The Erotics of Domination, Ellen Greene re-examines long-held scholarly attitudes concerning the representation of male sexual desire and female subjection in the Latin love poetry of Catullus, Propertius, and Ovid. Analyzing first-person poetic personae that critics have often romanticized, Greene finds that whereas the Catullan lover appears to struggle against his own ?feminization,? the Roman elegiac poets?particularly Propertius and Ovid?proclaim a radically unconventional philosophy in their seemingly deliberate inversion of conventional sex roles.

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. Whereas the Catullan lover appears to struggle against his own "feminization," the Roman elegiac poets--particularly Propertius and Ovid--proclaim in their poems a radically unconventional philosophy of life through their apparently deliberate inversion of conventional sex roles--in which women are portrayed as dominant and women as subservient. Roman elegiac poetry is predicated entirely on clearly defined roles for the speaker and his mistress. That servitude, at least nominally, accords the lover's mistress complete domination and control over him. (Introduction) | |
