Scholars have<br \/>\nadditionally turned to fifth-century dramatic texts to conceptualize the<br \/>\nrole of landscape (Worman, 2014, 2015), props (Mueller, 2016), and the<br \/>\nissues they and other objects generate therein (Tel\u00f2 and Mueller [eds.],<br \/>\n2018). Given this rich array of scholarship and ongoing archaeological<br \/>\ndiscovery (e.g. Papastamati-von Moock, 2014, 2015), critical and innovative<br \/>\nengagement with questions concerning how to integrate literary and material<br \/>\napproaches to Greek drama is timely. In this panel, we aim to take a deeper<br \/>\nlook into the real and imagined materialities of tragedy, comedy, and satyr<br \/>\nplay and how they may impact and refine our understanding of both dramatic<br \/>\naction and its political implications. Accordingly, we invite fine-grained<br \/>\nanalyses and broader reflections on ways to study topography, landscape,<br \/>\nprops, and material references more generally in Greek drama.<\/p>\n<p>Papers may address (but are not limited to) such questions as:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; How might momentary invocation of specific, tangible topographic<br \/>\nfeatures convey meaning through juxtaposition to a given play\u2019s more<br \/>\nsustained setting?<br \/>\n&#8211; Can deixis be deployed to analyze moments in which real and imagined<br \/>\nlandscapes overlap, however ephemerally?<br \/>\n&#8211; How do physical settings illuminate political dimensions of<br \/>\nfifth-century drama?<br \/>\n&#8211; Can we use material references to nuance our understanding of the<br \/>\nrelationship between \u201cpolitics\u201d and theater more broadly?<br \/>\n&#8211; Are there differences that can be traced in the way that tragedy,<br \/>\ncomedy, and satyr play refer to topography and\/or material culture?<br \/>\n&#8211; Are there instances of tension between the immediate setting and other<br \/>\nsettings, both visible and remote, invoked in the course of dramatic<br \/>\naction? To what effect?<br \/>\n&#8211; Playwrights may invoke realia (both landscapes and objects) on account<br \/>\nof their cultural associations, but how can we accommodate the multivariate<br \/>\ninterpretations of what those associations might be, taking into account<br \/>\nthe agency of both objects and audience members?<br \/>\n&#8211; How might a given playwright utilize props to convey multiple<br \/>\ntemporalities during a single performance?<\/p>\n<p>Please send abstracts for 20-minute papers to be read at the 2020 AIA\/SCS<br \/>\nmeeting as email attachments to\u00a0<a class=\"ox-ec1197cdcc-mailto-link mailto-link\" href=\"mailto:info@classicalstudies.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">info@classicalstudies.org<\/a>\u00a0by February 8,<br \/>\n2019.
