The term "radical formalism" refers to strategies aimed at
defamiliarising and revitalising conventional modes of formalistic
reading and theorising form. These strategies disrupt and unsettle
established norms while incorporating a metadiscursive awareness of
their broader political implications. This volume presents a
radical reconceptualisation of literary works from Greek and Roman
antiquity. Engaging in an ongoing dialogue with critical theory and
postcritique, as well as drawing inspiration from traditions rooted
in Black art, poetry and philosophy—both directly and indirectly
connected to the classical tradition—the essays in this
collection explore subversions of canonical norms and resistances
to the hegemony of textual order. This collection not only provides
new, provocative insights into a corpus of texts that has exerted a
lasting impact on modern literature and philosophy, but also
challenges current interpretive methods, recasting the very
practice of reading in relation to form, poetics, language, sound,
temporalities and textuality.
