Situated within contemporary posthumanism, this volume offers
theoretical and practical approaches to materiality in Greek
tragedy. Established and emerging scholars explore how works of the
three major Greek tragedians problematize objects and affect,
providing fresh readings of some of the masterpieces of Aeschylus,
Sophocles, and Euripides. The so-called new materialisms have
complemented the study of objects as signifiers or symbols with an
interest in their agency and vitality, their sensuous force and
psychosomatic impact-and conversely their resistance and
irreducible aloofness. At the same time, emotion has been recast as
material "affect," an intense flow of energies between bodies,
animate and inanimate. Powerfully contributing to the current
critical debate on materiality, the essays collected here
destabilize established interpretations, suggesting alternative
approaches and pointing toward a newly robust sense of the
physicality of Greek tragedy.
