All Women in Greek Myth: Finding Inclusive Feminist Theoretical Frameworks for Greek Mythology inReception and Popular Culture

该项目将利用一种既考虑古代文本又考虑现代接受的创新方法，对古希腊神话的女权主义方法进行必要的重新评估。之前的女权主义研究经常排除压迫的关键场所，以牺牲身份的交叉方面为代价来考虑性别，包括种族、阶级、性别、年龄和（残疾）能力。通过探究知识生产、理论和文学实践之间的动态关系，我旨在通过交叉视角重新解读希腊神话，以展示现代边缘化身份的重要性。该项目将研究知识是如何在学术研究和接受之间转换的，进一步研究接受——尤其是流行文化中的接受——是如何反映并塑造人们对神话的理解的。我将专注于与更广泛地探索交叉性有关的选定问题，以管理项目的范围。古典神话在大众文化和“女权主义”重述中（例如，玛德琳·米勒的《喀耳刻》）正享受着一种时尚，但在交叉的女权主义学术中却被忽视了。例如，2015年的古代交叉性研讨会上只有一篇关于神话的论文。缺乏交叉的学术研究导致了对希腊神话有问题方面的质疑，反而通过对来源的误解使有害的意识形态永久化。该项目将解决经典和流行文化研究中的精英主义和把关问题，这些问题导致双方缺乏参与。我的论文将建立在我自己迄今为止的工作基础上，其中包括探索学者的责任和对“低俗”接受形式的学术分析的重要性（Hinds 2019）。我将寻求与合作伙伴组织合作，如文化一英里，以及AHRC资助的项目，如人类艺术节，通过讨论或展览等活动建立与研究的联系

The project will provide a necessary reappraisal of feminist approaches to ancient Greek mythology,utilising an innovative approach which will consider both ancient texts and modern receptions. Previousfeminist scholarship has often excluded key sites of oppression, considering gender at the expense ofintersecting aspects of identity including race, class, sexuality, age and (dis)ability. By interrogating thedynamic between knowledge production, theory and literary practice, I aim to re-interpret Greek mythologythrough an intersectional lens to demonstrate the significance of modern marginalised identities. Theproject will examine how knowledge is translated between academic scholarship and reception, andfurther, how receptions - especially those within popular culture - reflect back and shape how mythology isunderstood. I will be concentrate on selected issues in relation to a wider exploration of intersectionality tomanage the scope of the project.Classical mythology is enjoying a vogue in reception, especially in popular culture and 'feminist' retellings(for example, Madeline Miller's Circe) and yet it has been neglected in intersectional feminist scholarship.For example, a 2015 Intersectionality in Antiquity workshop featured only one paper concerning mythology.A lack of intersectional scholarship is leading to receptions which may intend to question problematicaspects of Greek mythology, but instead perpetuate harmful ideology through misunderstanding of thesources. The project will address the problems of elitism and gatekeeping in classics and popular culturestudies that drives this lack of engagement from both sides. My thesis will build upon my own work to date,which has included an exploration of scholars' responsibilities and the importance of academic analysis of'low-brow' forms of reception (Hinds 2019). I will seek to work with partner organisations like Culture Mile,and AHRC funded projects such as the Being Human festival, to build engagement with the researchthrough events such as discussions or exhibitions
