Euripides IV
by David Grene Euripides Richmond Lattimore Glenn W. Most Mark GriffithEuripides IV contains the plays "Helen," translated by Richmond Lattimore; "The Phoenician Women," translated by Elizabeth Wyckoff; and "Orestes," translated by William Arrowsmith. Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides' Medea, The Children of Heracles, Andromache, and Iphigenia among the Taurians, fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles's satyr-drama The Trackers. New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.

Euripides and the Politics of Form
by Victoria WohlHow can we make sense of the innovative structure of Euripidean drama? And what political role did tragedy play in the democracy of classical Athens? These questions are usually considered to be mutually exclusive, but this book shows that they can only be properly answered together. Providing a new approach to the aesthetics and politics of Greek tragedy, Victoria Wohl argues that the poetic form of Euripides' drama constitutes a mode of political thought. Through readings of select plays, she explores the politics of Euripides' radical aesthetics, showing how formal innovation generates political passions with real-world consequences. Euripides' plays have long perplexed readers. With their disjointed plots, comic touches, and frequent happy endings, they seem to stretch the boundaries of tragedy. But the plays' formal traits--from their exorbitantly beautiful lyrics to their arousal and resolution of suspense--shape the audience's political sensibilities and ideological attachments. Engendering civic passions, the plays enact as well as express political ideas. Wohl draws out the political implications of Euripidean aesthetics by exploring such topics as narrative and ideological desire, the politics of pathos, realism and its utopian possibilities, the logic of political allegory, and tragedy's relation to its historical moment.Breaking through the impasse between formalist and historicist interpretations of Greek tragedy, Euripides and the Politics of Form demonstrates that aesthetic structure and political meaning are mutually implicated--and that to read the plays poetically is necessarily to read them politically.
Euripides' Medea: Translation and Theatrical Commentary
by Michael EwansThis book offers a new, accurate and actable translation of one of Euripides’ most popular plays, together with a commentary which provides insight into the challenges it sets for production and suggestions for how to solve them. The introduction discusses the social and cultural context of the play and its likely impact on the original audience, the way in which it was originally performed, the challenges which the lead roles present today and Medea’s implications for the modern audience. The text of the translation is followed by the 'Theatrical Commentary' section on the issues involved in staging each scene and chorus today, embodying insights gained from a professional production. Notes on the translation, a glossary of names, suggestions for further reading and a chronology of Euripides’ life and times round out the volume. The book is intended for use by theatre practitioners who wish to stage or workshop Medea and by students both of drama, theatre and performance and of classical studies.
Euripides, Women and Sexuality
by Anton PowellEuripides' interest in the psychology and social position of women is well known. Of the great Greek playwrights, he most directly reflects contemporary philosophical and social debates, and his work is of great value as a source for social history.The important new studies in this volume explore Euripides' treatment of sexuality and Greek ideals of women's behaviour. Using a wide range of analytic techniques, seven scholars direct new light not only on Euripides' own views of women but also on the ideals and preoccupations of his contemporaries in this area. Athenian women of the classical period were used, in Plato's phrase, 'to a life in the shadows'. This book helps us to see how far the influence of these cloistered women extended into the sunlit world of men.
Euripides’ Revolution under Cover: An Essay (Cornell Studies in Classical Philology #65)
by Pietro PucciIn this provocative book, Pietro Pucci explores what he sees as Euripides's revolutionary literary art. While scholars have long pointed to subversive elements in Euripides’s plays, Pucci goes a step further in identifying a Euripidean program of enlightened thought enacted through carefully wrought textual strategies. The driving force behind this program is Euripides’s desire to subvert the traditional anthropomorphic view of the Greek gods—a belief system that in his view strips human beings of their independence and ability to act wisely and justly. Instead of fatuous religious beliefs, Athenians need the wisdom and the strength to navigate the challenges and difficulties of life.Throughout his lifetime, Euripides found himself the target of intense criticism and ridicule. He was accused of promoting new ideas that were considered destructive. Like his contemporary, Socrates, he was considered a corrupting influence. No wonder, then, that Euripides had to carry out his revolution "under cover." Pucci lays out the various ways the playwright skillfully inserted his philosophical principles into the text through innovative strategies of plot development, language and composition, and production techniques that subverted the traditionally staged anthropomorphic gods.

Euro Horror: Classic European Horror Cinema in Contemporary American Culture (New Directions in National Cinemas)
by Ian OlneyBeginning in the 1950s, "Euro Horror" movies materialized in astonishing numbers from Italy, Spain, and France and popped up in the US at rural drive-ins and urban grindhouse theaters such as those that once dotted New York's Times Square. Gorier, sexier, and stranger than most American horror films of the time, they were embraced by hardcore fans and denounced by critics as the worst kind of cinematic trash. In this volume, Olney explores some of the most popular genres of Euro Horror cinema—including giallo films, named for the yellow covers of Italian pulp fiction, the S&M horror film, and cannibal and zombie films—and develops a theory that explains their renewed appeal to audiences today.
Eurocentrism and the Politics of Global History
by Alessandro StanzianiGlobal history locates national histories in the context of broader processes, in which the West is not necessarily synonymous with progress. And yet it often suffers from the same Eurocentrism that plagues national history, accepting Western categories and values uncritically and largely ignoring non-English historiographies. Alessandro Stanziani examines these tensions and asks what global history is and ought to be. Drawing upon a wide array of sources, he historicizes global history writing from the sixteenth century onward, tracing the forces of revolution, globalization, totalitarianism, colonization, decolonization and the Cold War. By considering global history in the context of a longue durée, multipolar perspective, this book assesses the strengths and limits of the field, and clarifies what is at stake.
Eurocentrism, Racism and Knowledge: Debates on History and Power in Europe and the Americas
by Marta Araújo Silvia Rodríguez MaesoThis collection addresses key issues in the critique of Eurocentrism and racism regarding debates on the production of knowledge, historical narratives and memories in Europe and the Americas. Contributors explore the history of liberation politics as well as academic and political reaction through formulas of accommodation that re-centre the West.
Eurocentrism: History, Identity, White Man’s Burden
by Michael WintleThis book raises awareness of Eurocentrism’s enormous impact and shows how, over the course of five centuries, Eurocentrism has extended its power across the globe. In the twenty-first century, Eurocentrism’s hegemony remains powerful. By exploring a wide range of sources including Eurocentric maps and images, historiography, and Rudyard Kipling’s White Man’s Burden, Wintle uncovers Eurocentrism’s gradual evolution and reveals the ways in which it functions at both seen and unseen levels. Taking a thematic and then empirical approach, Eurocentrism offers a detailed and comprehensive discussion of Eurocentrism’s problems and dangers, pays special attention to the work of Samir Amin and James Blaut and applies notions garnered in the book to discuss Eurocentrism within the context of the twenty-first-century European Union. This study questions Eurocentrism’s function, its history, and its importance, providing a fresh insight into one of the world’s most complex and powerful cultural phenomena. With its multi- and interdisciplinary analysis, this book is an indispensable tool for both scholars and students concerned with modern history, politics, visual culture and political geography.
Eurocommunism: From the Communist to the Radical European Left (The Routledge Global 1960s and 1970s Series)
by Ioannis BalampanidisEurocommunism constitutes a "moment" of great transformation connecting the past and the present of the European Left, a political project by means of which left-wing politics in Europe effected a definitive transition to a thoroughly different paradigm. It rose in the wake of 1968 – that pivotal year of social revolt and rethinking that caused a divide between radical, progressive and socialist thinking in western and southern Europe and the Soviet model. Communist parties in Italy, France, Spain and Greece changed tack, drew on the dynamics of social radicalism of the time and came to be associated with political moderation, liberal democracy and negotiation rather than contentious politics forging a movement that would hold influence until the early 1980s. Eurocommunism thus wove an original political synthesis delineated against both the revolutionary Left and the social democracy: "party of struggle and party of governance".
Eurocritical
by Roderick MacdonaldThis book critically analyses the crisis of the euro currency from 2008 to the present. It argues that an understanding of this crisis requires an understanding of financial and economic crises in individual countries participating in the euro. It goes on to describe and explain the crises in four countries – Greece, Ireland, Spain and Italy – showing how they differ and together challenge the euro currency by requiring a varied policy response from Europe. Eurocritical is a guide for scholars, students and practitioners of finance and economics.
Euromissiles: The Nuclear Weapons That Nearly Destroyed NATO
by Susan ColbournIn Euromissiles, Susan Colbourn tells the story of the height of nuclear crisis and the remarkable waning of the fear that gripped the globe. In the Cold War conflict that pitted nuclear superpowers against one another, Europe was the principal battleground. Washington and Moscow had troops on the ground and missiles in the fields of their respective allies, the NATO nations and the states of the Warsaw Pact. Euromissiles—intermediate-range nuclear weapons to be used exclusively in the regional theater of war—highlighted how the peoples of Europe were dangerously placed between hammer and anvil. That made European leaders uncomfortable and pushed fearful masses into the streets demanding peace in their time. At the center of the story is NATO. Colbourn highlights the weakness of the alliance seen by many as the most effective bulwark against Soviet aggression. Divided among themselves and uncertain about the depth of US support, the member states were riven by the missile issue. This strategic crisis was, as much as any summit meeting between US president Ronald Reagan and Soviet general secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, the hinge on which the Cold War turned. Euromissiles is a history of diplomacy and alliances, social movements and strategy, nuclear weapons and nagging fears, and politics. To tell that history, Colbourn takes a long view of the strategic crisis—from the emerging dilemmas of allied defense in the early 1950s through the aftermath of the INF Treaty thirty-five years later. The result is a dramatic and sweeping tale that changes the way we think about the Cold War and its culmination.
Europa central
by William T. VollmannLa obra maestra de uno de los escritores más importantes de la narrativa contemporánea norteamericana, cuya obra ha sido premiada con el prestigioso National Book Award.

Vollmann ha creado una novela que aspira al nivel superior en literatura.»Los Angeles Times «Europa Central es una novela que probablemente se convertirá en una de las obras maestras del siglo.»Chicago Tribune
Europa und die deutsche Frage: Wiederkehr der Geschichte?
by Luc KerrenMit der Wiedervereinigung schien die deutsche Frage, welche bis 1990 über Jahrhunderte das europäische Mächtegleichgewicht bestimmt hatte, eine endgültige Antwort erhalten zu haben, da das Land in der Mitte des Kontinents erstmals in seiner Geschichte „von Freunden umzingelt“ war. Spätestens mit dem Aufkommen der Eurokrise verdeutlichte sich jedoch, dass die Größe und Stärke des vereinten Deutschlands innerhalb Europas weiterhin als ambivalent wahrgenommen wurde: Einerseits kam es nicht umher, als „unverzichtbare Nation“ die Initiative zu übernehmen, gleichzeitig wurde es aber verdächtigt, hegemoniale Ambitionen an den Tag zu legen. Luc Kerren zeigt in diesem Buch, dass dieses Muster in der Folge ebenfalls während der Migrationskrise 2015/16 sowie im Verhältnis zu Russland zu beobachten war. Somit ist auch die Berliner Republik mit der Herausforderung konfrontiert, innerhalb Europas die Balance zu wahren: Zwischen einer „rücksichtslosen Führung“ und einer „führungslosen Rücksicht“.

Europa, deine Frauen
by Gerhard DanzerFrauen sind in den letzten Jahrhunderten - ganz bevorzugt in den letzten Jahrzehnten - kulturgeschichtlich viel intensiver und origineller tätig gewesen, als dies gemeinhin wahrgenommen wird. Was genau die kulturhistorischen Dimensionen des ,,Frau-Seins" sind, wird vom Autor differenziert betrachtet und dargestellt. Die Kulturgeschichte würde ohne den Anteil, den diese Frauen daran hatten, ganz anders aussehen. Der weibliche Einfluss ist unverkennbar im Wachsen begriffen und sein Anteil an kulturgeschichtlicher Entwicklung darf nicht unterschätzt werden.

Europa: How Europe Shaped The Modern World (Marcial Pons Historia Ser.)
by Julio MacLennanAn original and innovative examination of the continent—and its culture—that was the epicenter of the world for almost five centuries. European history is deeply embedded in the global civilization that has emerged in the 21st century. More than two thirds of today’s nations were once European colonies or protectorates. Europe’s legacy is evident in the trajectory of the United States and has influenced aspiring hegemonic powers like China. For centuries, Europe was the heart and soul of the West, and European powers enjoyed unprecedented global hegemony, not only by military and economic means, but also through their influence on politics and culture. The rise and fall of the European era of world supremacy constitutes one of the most epic histories of all time. ere were the extraordinary changes of the Renaissance and its aftermath, which marked the beginning of Europe's imposition of itself over other civilizations, but it was Columbus’s “discovery” of America that provided the key to its meteoric rise. Spain and Portugal would form the first global empires, closely followed by Holland, Britain, France and Russia. Following the exploits of navigators like Vasco da Gama and Captain Cook, the conquistador Hernan Cortes, missionary Henry Livingstone and others, Europa reveals the origins of Europe’s rapid expansion, which was then expanded upon further by millions of Europeans migrants, who spread their culture and values. MacLennan also reveals how statesmen, scientists, inventors, philosophers, writers, and revolutionaries were responsible for transforming the continent into a civilization that inspired universal attraction. Even into the twentieth century, after reaching the nadir of imperial decline and self- destruction, Europe has once again become a global trendsetter.
Europa: Una historia personal
by Timothy Garton AshUna asombrosa mezcla de historia contemporánea, reportaje de investigación y memoria íntima de la pluma de uno de los escritores que mejor han escrito sobre Europa. «El libro que Europa necesitaba, en el momento justo. Perfecto para el presente». Timothy Snyder A partir de la experiencia de quienes lo vivieron, Europa cuenta cómo el continente se recuperó lentamente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y logró reconstruirse y prosperar. Y luego se atascó. Timothy Garton Ash, uno de los mejores pensadores europeos, ha pasado su vida estudiando esta parte del mundo. Este emocionante libro está repleto de experiencias vividas: desde los recuerdos de su padre del desembarco de Normandía y el espionaje al que lo sometió la Stasi hasta entrevistas con guerrilleros albaneses en las montañas de Kosovo, o sus encuentros con adolescentes desesperados en los barrios más pobres de París, aparte de sus consejos a presidentes, ministros de exteriores y primeros ministros. Europa es al tiempo una historia atestiguada y tangible de un periodo de increíbles avances, una crónica honesta de las cosas que salieron mal y una llamada urgente a los ciudadanos de este gran y viejo continente para entender y defender lo que hemos logrado colectivamente. La crítica ha dicho:«Una conmovedora carta de amor a Europa. Europa conjuga las memorias, el análisis político y la crítica social para iluminar el futuro de un continente aún perseguido por su pasado».Lea Ypi «Sabemos que hay alemanes, italianos, españoles y polacos, ¿pero existen los europeos? Pues sí, al menos uno: Timothy Garton Ash.Europa es la brillante y cautivadora historia de cómo se convirtió en uno de ellos».Mark Lilla«Este libro, escrito por un hombre que asistió en primera fila a gran parte de la historia que describe, se basa en sus experiencias y en las de sus amigos para dar vida a los acontecimientos».M. E. Sarotte «GartonAsh combina hábilmente la erudición, la experiencia periodística y las observaciones e historias personales en Europa. Un delicioso libro que invita a la reflexión».Robert B. Zoellick «Garton Ash se ha labrado un nicho único como historiador del presente. Europa combina su testimonio de la evolución de Europa con su aguda visión histórica para ofrecer un libro innovador y absorbente».Charles A. Kupchan«Timothy Garton Ash cuenta la historia épica de la Europa de la posguerra».Irish Times «¿Es Europa una entidad real o una mera construcción del deseo? Este libro, observado de cerca, explora ambas posibilidades».Kirkus Reviews
Europavisionen in der amerikanischen Nachkriegsplanung 1939-1947
by Joe MajerusWährend des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurden in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika bereits verschiedene Visionen zur Zukunft und Nachkriegsordnung Europas ausgearbeitet, die als solche den ideellen Grundstein für spätere außenpolitische Vorhaben legten und folglich einen nicht unwesentlichen Einfluss auf die anschließende Umsetzung selbiger zeitigten. Jene Vorstellungen zeichneten sich zum einen dadurch aus, dass viele der erwarteten Probleme bei der Etablierung eines neuen zwischenstaatlichen Systems häufig von der Warte gesamtstrategischer Überlegungen und Erfordernisse betrachtet wurden, im Zuge derer nationale Eigeninteressen mit liberal-amerikanischen Idealbildern verbunden und im Rahmen der übergreifenden Vision eines globalen Internationalismus unter der Führung der USA durchgesetzt werden sollten. Zum anderen beschränkten sich amerikanische Europakonzeptionen keineswegs nur auf einzelne Teilaspekte politischer oder wirtschaftlicher Natur, sondern versuchten vielmehr ganzheitliche Lösungen zu liefern, indem sie die vielfältigen Herausforderungen, denen sich Europa nach dem Krieg gegenübersehen würde, systematisch in Bezug zueinander setzten. Anhand eines prosopographischen Ansatzes wird untersucht, inwiefern die Errichtung einer stabilen Friedens- und Sicherheitsordnung in Europa nicht erst mit Beginn des Kalten Krieges zu einem zentralen Eckpfeiler der amerikanischen Außenpolitik geworden war.
Europe (In Theory)
by Roberto M. DainottoEurope (in Theory) is an innovative analysis of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century ideas about Europe that continue to inform thinking about culture, politics, and identity today. Drawing on insights from subaltern and postcolonial studies, Roberto M. Dainotto deconstructs imperialism not from the so-called periphery but from within Europe itself. He proposes a genealogy of Eurocentrism that accounts for the way modern theories of Europe have marginalized the continent's own southern region, portraying countries including Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal as irrational, corrupt, and clan-based in comparison to the rational, civic-minded nations of northern Europe. Dainotto argues that beginning with Montesquieu's The Spirit of Laws (1748), Europe not only defined itself against an "Oriental" other but also against elements within its own borders: its South. He locates the roots of Eurocentrism in this disavowal; internalizing the other made it possible to understand and explain Europe without reference to anything beyond its boundaries. Dainotto synthesizes a vast array of literary, philosophical, and historical works by authors from different parts of Europe. He scrutinizes theories that came to dominate thinking about the continent, including Montesquieu's invention of Europe's north-south divide, Hegel's "two Europes," and Madame de Stal's idea of opposing European literatures: a modern one from the North, and a pre-modern one from the South. At the same time, Dainotto brings to light counter-narratives written from Europe's margins, such as the Spanish Jesuit Juan Andrs's suggestion that the origins of modern European culture were eastern rather than northern and the Italian Orientalist Michele Amari's assertion that the South was the cradle of a social democracy brought to Europe via Islam.
