SUMMARY:Vision in Virgil

DESCRIPTION:Classics & Ancient History Research Seminar \nABSTRACT\nThis 
 discussion of vision in the Aeneid positions itself in relation to studi
 es of visual culture\, the art-text interface\, and the study of perform
 ance\, before focussing on how Virgil draws on philosophical theories of
  optics to express the dynamics of vision in his own narrative.  Virgil 
 looks back to his Homeric model through philosophical lenses\, chief amo
 ng which is the theory of intromission as propounded by the atomists\, a
 nd articulated by Lucretius in On the nature of the universe\, book 4.  
 I look at three different kinds of gaze in the epic\, involving vision a
 nd knowledge\, vision and power\, and vision and erotic desire.
