Euripides' surviving work is the main key to our understanding of the Athenian tragic theatre in its maturity.
This conference will feature research by leading scholars of the present and future, consider progress since the 1960s, and seek directions for the next generation's work.
Four broad areas of discussion have been defined:
"Audience and community" (coordinator Edith Hall, Oxford),
"Production and staging" (coordinator Eric Csapo, Toronto),
"Religious and mythical elements within the plays" (coordinator Christian Wildberg, Princeton)
"Tragedy and other genres" (coordinator Donald Mastronarde, Berkeley).Other speakers will include Will Allan (Oxford), Jane Beverly (Oxford), Claude Calame (Lausanne), John Davidson (Wellington), William Furley (Heidelberg), John Gibert (Boulder), Barbara Goff (Austin), Simon Goldhill (Cambridge), Richard Green (Sydney), Michael Halleran (Seattle), Albert Henrichs (Harvard), Brad Levett (Seattle), Christopher Marshall (St John's), Ann Michelini (Cincinnati), Judith Mossman (Dublin), John Porter (Saskatoon), Rush Rehm (Stanford), Martin Revermann (Oxford), Ruth Scodel (Ann Arbor), William Slater (Hamilton), Alexander Stevens (Sydney), Katherine Sweet (Toronto), Oliver Taplin (Oxford), Peter Wilson (Warwick), Froma Zeitlin (Princeton).
Helene Foley (Columbia) will give a keynote address on The Representation of Conflict in Euripides.
A publication based on the conference proceedings is planned.
We invite proposals, preferably by 30 June 1998, for a limited number of additional papers, and for contributions in the form of posters or abstracts to be presented in written form.
