What I try to do in this talk is to excavate material from written texts in instances where the physical objects no longer survive.

Boston Area Classics Calendar October 2020 Radio Opera: Aeneas Setting Out from Carthage (Propempticon) by Harry Sage<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/?trumbaEmbed=view%3devent%26eventid%3d1491…> Sat., Oct. 24, 4 – 6 p.m. Radio: www.wgxc.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.wgxc.org_&d=DwMFAw&…> WGXC Afternoon Show: New Radio Operas from Harvard University's Composing Theatre Proseminar WGXC 90.7-FM: Radio for Open Ears This program features seven new radio operas composed by Harvard University students enrolled in Composing Theatre, a proseminar designed to explore narrative sound art led by artist Yvette Janine Jackson. The radio operas you will hear bear little resemblance to the early twentieth-century radio operas by composers like Gian Carlo Menotti. These works range in style and approach; some will take you on a journey; some will ask you to reflect. If it is safe to do so, listen to these radio operas in the dark and surrender to the theatre of your mind. Seven featured works, including: "Aeneas Setting Out from Carthage (Propempticon)" by Harry Sage (Harvard College Class of 2022) wavefarm.org…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__wavefarm.org_radio_wgx…> Sarah Iles Johnston (The Ohio State University)<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/?trumbaEmbed=view%3devent%26eventid%3d1486…> Tue., Oct. 27, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Zoom: events.brown.edu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__events.brown.edu_class…> "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary: Classics and the Unseen Realm at the Fin de Siècle" The Classics Department will host this year’s Charles Alexander Robinson, Jr. Memorial Lecture via Zoom. The fin de siècle saw the development of the literary ghost story into the distinctive genre that we still enjoy today, under the masterly pens of authors such as Joseph Sheridan LeFanu, Arthur Machen and M.R. James. A recurrent preoccupation in the works of these authors is the persistence of the ancient world and its effect on those who engage with it. Did ‘the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome’ cloak dangers to the spiritual, mental and bodily health of those who consumed them?

In simplest terms, this turn seeks to bring the artifacts of material culture, say the discoveries of archaeologists and art historians into the realms of discourse typically dominated by those who focus on texts, on documents, on written evidence. What I try to do in this talk is to excavate material from written texts in instances where the physical objects no longer survive. To some extent my approach suggests alternative ways to think about what we read but I also think that tending carefully to descriptions of what no longer exists can actually expand the totality of the material record. I draw on a wide array of sources including poetry, histories, and biographies, among others.

The fin de siècle saw the development of the literary ghost story into the distinctive genre that we still enjoy today, under the masterly pens of authors such as Joseph Sheridan LeFanu, Arthur Machen and M.R. James. A recurrent preoccupation in the works of these authors is the persistence of the ancient world and its effect on those who engage with it. Did ‘the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome’ cloak dangers to the spiritual, mental and bodily health of those who consumed them? Six ghost stories will provide lens through which different answers to this question can be considered. events.brown.edu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__events.brown.edu_class…> contact: classics_department(a)brown.edu<mailto:classics_department@brown.edu> [Sarah Iles Johnston (The Ohio State University)] November 2020 Kelsey Eldridge and Julia Judge (both of Harvard University)<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calendar?trumbaEmbed=…> Wed., Nov. 4, 5 – 6 p.m. Zoom.

Please tune into the hour-long session on Sardis that is part of the upcoming 24 Hours of Harvard event organized by the Office of the Vice Provost for International Affairs (OVPIA) at Harvard University The Archaeological Exploration of Sardis (Sardis Expedition), now in its 63rd consecutive year, is one of the longest ongoing international projects of Harvard. The Expedition has created a remarkable legacy of collaboration and mutual engagement between Turkish scholars and students, members of the professional, government and local communities, and those of Harvard and other international institutions. The multiple facets of the extraordinary relationships the project fostered in Turkey will be brought to light through a mix of live discussions and pre-recorded videos with some of those impacted by the dig. We also hope to show the extent of the major footprint of the facilities of the dig at the site, as well as some of the monuments brought to light by the Expedition and the involvement of its stakeholders.
