The Western world has a history of aestheticizing violence against women, and Ovid could well be considered one of the founding fathers of this phenomenon. Zuckerberg (2018) proved this in exposing how an online community of misogynists have appropriated classical texts, particularly those of Ovid, to legitimise acts of online violence. Morales (2020) too has recognised the link between Classics and gendered violence and recently explored how Classics have been used to protest rape culture and offer new narratives for the marginalised. In the #MeToo era, this concern is more evident than ever before. Theatre practitioners are also interested in this, and there has been a rise in performances which critique aesthetics of violence and voyeuristic spectatorship. Classics and Theatre Studies, as disciplines, are beginning to recognise these urgent concerns. But the subject has not been explored systematically to date by existing scholarship, and especially not in relation to performance of Classical texts. My research will narrow this gap, as I examine the modern performance reception of Ovidian scenes of sexual violence, particularly from the Metamorphoses but also Ovid's wider corpus. I will consider how modern performances do and might stage rape scenes and how the Ovidian text invites both performative adaptation and a resistant reception, whereby the female voice is heard and the traditional male gaze is rejected. The industry interest and the scholarly gap in this area makes this a timely project. But furthermore, my research should be a common concern to all.

西方世界有一段将对妇女的暴力行为审美化的历史，奥维德很可能被认为是这一现象的创始人之一。扎克伯格（2018）在揭露一个控制型女性的网络社区如何挪用经典文本，特别是奥维德的经典文本，以使网络暴力行为合法化时证明了这一点。莫拉莱斯（2020）也认识到经典与性别暴力之间的联系，最近探讨了经典如何被用来抗议强奸文化，并为边缘化群体提供新的叙事。在#MeToo时代，这种担忧比以往任何时候都更加明显。戏剧从业者对此也很感兴趣，批评暴力美学和窥淫癖的表演有所增加。经典和戏剧研究，作为学科，开始认识到这些紧迫的问题。但是，这个问题还没有被系统地探讨了现有的奖学金，特别是没有在古典文本的性能。我的研究将缩小这一差距，因为我检查了奥维德的性暴力场景的现代表演接受，特别是从变形记，但也奥维德的更广泛的语料库。我将考虑现代表演如何以及如何上演强奸场景，以及奥维迪亚文本如何邀请表演性适应和抵制性接受，从而女性的声音被听到，传统的男性凝视被拒绝。业界的兴趣和学术界在这一领域的差距，使这是一个及时的项目。但更重要的是，我的研究应该是所有人共同关心的问题。
