From: Konstantinos P.
Nikoloutsos
Postcolonial Latin American Adaptations
of Greek and Roman Drama
143rd Annual Meeting of the American Philological Association
January 5-8, 2012, Philadelphia, PA
Organized by Konstantinos P. Nikoloutsos (Saint Joseph's
University)
Research on the reception of classical drama has focused on Europe, Northern
America, Africa, and Australasia, but has ignored, for no justifiable reason, Latin America. Greek and
Roman tragedies regarded as canonical in the West migrated to this region since the early colonial years
and have been rewritten, especially in recent decades, to suit modern social and political concerns. For
example, Griselda Gambaro's Furious Antigone (1986) and José Watanabe's Antigone (1999), two of the many
Latin American adaptations of Sophocles' play, appropriate a seminal story of protest against state
oppression to discuss the issue of the desaparecidos, the thousands of "missing" civilians who
were abducted, tortured, and murdered in secret by military and paramilitary forces during the Dirty War
in Argentina and Peru respectively. Similarly, in Medea in the Mirror (1960) José Triana blends motifs
from Euripides and Seneca to comment on the social and racial inequalities in pre-Revolution Cuba,
whereas Jorge Alí Triana revisits Sophocles in his film Oedipus Mayor (1996) to document aspects of the
Colombian Civil War waged between the army and peasant guerillas.
The attention that Latin American
adaptations of Greek and Roman drama have so far received from Anglophone classicists (Nelli 2009, 2010;
Nikoloutsos 2010, 2011; Torrance 2007) is disproportionate to their number and geographical spread.
Seeking to raise awareness about this important area of research, this panel --the first of its kind to
be organized at a national level-- solicits papers that examine case studies and approach the topic from
a variety of theoretical and interdisciplinary perspectives. Questions to be discussed include, but are
not limited to, the following:
--- What is the artistic and sociohistorical context for these
adaptations?
--- Are they direct derivates of the Greek or Roman original, or are there other texts
or traditions involved in this hybridization?
--- Are these rewritings dominated by or emancipated
from the ancient prototype in terms of narrative structure, character development, and ideology?
--- Does this blending of classical themes with postcolonial experiences leave room for indigenous,
mestizo, mulatto, or other mixed-race identities to be expressed?
--- What conclusions about the
migration of ideological topoi and stylistic features across Latin America can we draw from these
adaptations?
Abstracts must be received in the APA office by February 1, 2011. Please send an anonymous abstract as a PDF attachment to apameetings@sas.upenn.edu. Be
sure to mention the title of the panel and provide complete contact information and any AV requests in
the body of your email. In preparing the abstract, please follow the APA's formatting guidelines for
individual abstracts. All submissions will be reviewed anonymously. Inquiries can be addressed to Konstantinos.Nikoloutsos@sju.edu.
