What does it mean to “be like Niobe/all tears”?

‘Re-‘ Lecture by Prof Freddie Rokem (Chicago/Tel Aviv)
Respondent: Dr Mischa Twitchin (Goldsmiths)

A special lecture by dramaturg and Univ. of Chicago Weigeland Visiting Professor in Theatre and Performance Studies Freddie Rokem exploring how and in which contexts the tragic figure of Niobe becomes exemplary, a figure worth employing as a model for creating a legacy: for example, in Sophocles’ Antigone, Shakespeare’s Hamlet (by negation) and in the works of Walter Benjamin and Bertolt Brecht.

Ross’s interests extend from the fin de siècle to the 21st century, with a focus on experimental music, the politics of mass culture, the poetics of song, and the historiography of popular music. 

Martin is developing a perspective on the aesthetic/intellectual/practice-based challenges and opportunities raised by the digital, which he will situate in the context of theories and philosophies of adaptation / repetition / copying.
