Obiettivi formativi

All'inizio della sua ascesa politica nel Mediterraneo, quando Roma era ancora, dal punto di vista culturale, una città provinciale in un mondo ellenistico, il genere comico divenne uno dei campi in cui la neonata letteratura mosse i suoi primi passi, cercando di stare al passo con i suoi rivali Greci più sofisticati. Plauto e Terenzio si stagliano come le figure più importanti di questo periodo, e le loro opere teatrali formano un corpus solo di poco inferiore a quello dei poemi omerici. Temi chiave che verranno presi in considerazione nell'analisi di questo variegato universo teatrale sono: il contesto performativo, compresa l'interazione tra metro e musica, e la storia editoriale delle opere teatrali; il rapporto con gli originali greci e le sue problematiche; l'influenza di altre tradizioni culturali, come quella italica e ellenistica, e la loro interazione con gli elementi più distintivi della cultura romana; il confronto tra Plauto e Terenzio; i riferimenti ad eventi storici contemporanei, come la vittoria su Cartagine, Pergamo e Grecia; le convenzioni di genere, i personaggi tipici e la loro sovversione. Il corso esaminerà anche la ricezione della commedia arcaica nella letteratura latina successiva e la sua influenza sulla storia del teatro e della cultura occidentale. Il modulo avrà un forte approccio testuale, concentrandosi in particolare su una lettura approfondita dell’ Heauton Timorumenos di Terenzio.

 

L’insegnamento verrà condotto in Inglese.

At the beginning of its political rising in the Mediterranean, when Rome was still, from a cultural point of view, a provincial Hellenistic city, the comic genre became one of the fields in which the new-born literature took its first steps, trying to keep pace with its other more sophisticated rivals. The names of Plautus and Terence emerge from that time and their plays form a corpus which is only slightly smaller than that of the Homeric poems. Key topics that will be considered in the analysis of this variegated theatrical universe are: the performative context, including the interaction between metre and music, and the editorial history of the plays; the relation with the Greek originals and its problems; the influence of other cultural traditions, such as the Italic and the Hellenistic, and their interaction with the more distinctive elements of Roman culture; the comparison between Plautus and Terence; the impact of historical events such as the victory over Cartago, Pergamum and Greece; genre conventions, stock-characters and their subversion. The module will also examine the reception of comedy in later Latin literature, and its influence on the history of western theatre and culture. The module will have a strong text-based approach, focusing in particular on a close reading of Terence Heauton Timorumenos.

 

The teaching will be conducted in English.
