The City and the Stage: Performance, Genre, and Gender in Plato's Laws
Folch, Marcus (Assistant Professor of Classics, Assistant Professor of Classics, Columbia University)
The Polis and the Stage provides an exploration of Plato's final engagement with the poetic tradition. Special attention is given to the dialogue between philosophy and poetry, the performative properties of language, the psychology of aesthetic response, genre, gender, and the status of women in the ideal city envisaged in the Laws.
