Shot on location in 希腊, this provocative work projects a journey of homecoming (nostos) onto Penelope, the wife of the well-traveled Homeric hero, Odysseus. 引用 Homer's 奥德赛 and authorial commentary anchor segments that fluctuate between cinematic 主观性和侵入性摄影. Penelope’s "home" is both a tangible, comforting habitat and an internalized dwelling of estrangement.

醉酒的诗人和堕落的哲学家
10月3日. 18, 530pm, in the Somers Room in the Tang, we welcomed Bret Mulligan, Associate 教授essor and Chair of 经典 at Haverford College, to deliver a lecture. Titled "醉酒的诗人和堕落的哲学家: Gout and Pathographic Identity in Antiquity," 教授. Mulligan将疾病作为一种隐喻. 他是这样描述这次演讲的:
“Disease has often been understood as a manifestation of more than simply bodily infirmity. In the most stigmatizing circumstances, the presence of disease can become an external marker of deficient character or even just retribution for the moral failure of the 折磨.“教授. Mulligan explored what it means when a literary or historical figure in antiquity is characterized as suffering from gout. 痛风的成因 with it a moralizing charge that enmeshed the subject in familiar categories of excessive 消费和品德放荡.
教授. Mulligan works on late antiquity, which he describes as “the twilight of classical 文化.” His publications focus on Roman poets and biographers of the later Roman Empire, and the lecture was part of a larger project on gout as a metaphor of disease.
