| Course Description | This course examines the myth of Oedipus in a range of dramatic and theoretical writings, exploring how the paradigm of incest and parricide has shaped Western thought from classical tragedy to psychoanalysis and from philosophy to anthropology. Authors studied include Homer, Sophocles, Apollodorus, Seneca, Dryden, Voltaire, Hölderlin, Wagner, Nietzsche, Freud, Klein, Girard, Lacan, and Butler. Students will also view a film by Pasolini. Works assigned will be discussed in English, but students are free to read them in the original languages. |
