Boston Area Classics Calendar for October 20

by Classics Calendar

Boston Area Classics Calendar October 2017 *Arlene Holmes-Henderson (University of Oxford and King's College London)<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calendar?trumbaEmbed=…> Tue., Oct. 24, 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Boylston 105, Cambridge, MA 02138 "Classics in UK Elementary and High Schools: The Dawn of a New Era?" Dr Arlene Holmes-Henderson will outline two innovative research projects in the UK which seek to raise the profile, currency and status of Classics in education. The first project (Advocating Classics Education) aims to extend access to the study of Classics in translation in high schools. The second project (Classics in Communities) investigates what impact the learning of Classical languages in elementary schools has on children's cognitive development. An international expert in Classics education policy, pedagogy and practice, Dr Holmes-Henderson will share the findings to date and will outline the likely future shape of the UK Classics education landscape. Bio: Dr Arlene Holmes-Henderson studied Classics at Oxford, Harvard and Cambridge universities. She specializes in Classics education policy and pedagogy. A Fulbright scholar, Erskine Fellow and Churchill Fellow, she conducts research into the value of a Classical education in the twenty-first century. She advises governments, qualifications authorities and educational institutions worldwide in the field of on curriculum and assessment design. She has published extensively on Humanities education in practice, and language education policy (including comparative studies in the USA, Australia and New Zealand). She is visiting Harvard from the UK to provide an overview of her current Classics education research projects at Oxford and King's College London. *Isabella Tardin-Cardoso (University of Campinas)<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calendar?trumbaEmbed=…> Tue., Oct. 24, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. AMHERST COLLEGE, Fayerweather Hall, Room 115. 220 South Pleasant Street, Amherst, MA 01002 The Saint and the Sow: Poetics of Illusion in a Brazilian Imitation of Plautus Written in 1957, the popular Brazilian comedy O Santo e a Porca (The Saint and the Sow) has its classical source of inspiration already stated in its subtitle: a "Northeastern Imitation of Plautus". Its author, Ariano Suassuna (1927-2014), alludes in particular to the play Aulularia (The Pot of Gold) by Titus Maccius Plautus (3rd- 2nd century BC). As we shall see, the allusiveness of the play goes beyond its subtitle: it is apparent in Suassuna's plot, in his imitation of Plautine speaking names, word-games, and other comic techniques. Professor Tardin-Cardoso will first illustrate the way the Brazilian play calls attention both to its proximity to and distance from its Roman model. By means of such a dialogue, Suassuna underlines (just as Plautus had) his inspirations in popular culture. She will also argue that in Suassuna's reception of the way Plautus represents deception in his theater, the modern playwright provides a fresh kind of illusion that reflects the image of life and Brazilian culture represented in his drama.
