Recenzii
This is an enormously engaging book, full of subtle and imaginative treatments of tragedy . What it offers most clearly is a taste of the great variety of modern materialisms and also a sharp sense of what these movements disavow: explorations of the soul, the spirit, transcendence, language as a transparent or logical system, transparency or logic, human agency, consciousness, intentionality, or authorship. Engaging with the volume is an extraordinarily useful way to understand the many potentials, and the constraints, of this varied set of intellectual movements. I can well imagine teaching with these essays, if only to prod my students to excitement, irritation, and ideas.
This valuable collection almost without exception succeeds brilliantly in exemplifying the exhilarating range of potential in critical applications of the new materialisms to Athenian tragedy. At the same time, it does not shy away from some frank expressions of discomfort with the ethical risks inherent in the idea of matter as almost subjectively 'vibrant' or in the notion of the destabilising 'in-between-ness' of affect, theorising that could seem to justify the alleviation of human responsibility for our material and social environment.
This collected edition is at the cutting edge of theoretical engagements with Athenian tragic drama, and showcases world leading scholars teasing out the implications of the tragedians' obsession with objects and their connections to emotional experience.
The studies contained in this volume show that the remit of new materialism is broad and generous, that it can be mobilised in all sorts of ways.

These readings of the Greek tragedies' own complex engagement with matter and affect further suggest that some of the 'new' materialisms are not entirely as new as they may seem.
