Dionysus Dendrites: Wood and Carpentry in Greek Tragedy

该项目将木材和木工的重要性追溯至埃斯库罗斯、索福克勒斯和欧里庇德斯悲剧的诗学、物品和舞台艺术。它结合了对人类劳动如何告知舞台上使用的物体和诗意图像的物质性的探索，以及对表演与更广泛的环境和生态系统之间相互作用的生态批评。通过探索木材和木工在雅典人想象中的作用，我展示了这种物质对表演的重要性，并质疑探索人类与木制品的互动，无论是在舞台上还是在雅典文化中，如何为理解悲剧表演提供信息。

This project traces the significance of wood and carpentry to the poetics, objects and stagecraft of Aeschylean, Sophoclean and Euripidean tragedy. It combines an exploration of how human labour informs the materiality of objects and poetic images used on stage with an ecocritical focus on interactions between performances and wider envrionments and ecosystems. By exploring the role of wood and carpentry in the Athenian imagination, I demonstrate the significance of this matter to performance, and question how exploration into human interactions with wooden matter, both on stage and in Athenian culture, inform an understanding of tragic performance.
