Seduction and Power
IMAGINES II – Antiquity in the Visual and Performing Arts
Bristol, 22-25 September 2010
WWW.IMAGINES-PROJECT.ORGUniversity of Bristol
Institute of Greece, Rome and the Classical Tradition
University of Wales – LampeterSeduction and Power (IMAGINES II) is the second in a series of major
international and interdisciplinary conferences focusing on the
reception of antiquity in the performing and visual arts. It explores
the impact in post-classical imagery of the tensions and relations of
gender, sexuality, eroticism and power attributed to historical or
legendary characters and events of the Ancient World.IMAGINES is an interdisciplinary project addressing Classical reception
in e.g. film, theatre, dance, opera, sculpture, architecture, painting,
comic, design and photography. It establishes networks across boundaries
in reception studies and goes beyond the treatment of reception in
individual genres and periods, taking specific genres as starting point
and going on to highlight their interconnections. IMAGINES demonstrates
the influence of the reception of antiquity on a specific manifestation
of culture and shows how it shapes culture as such, ranging from
post-classical traditional art disciplines to contemporary popular
cultural expressions.For the main outlines of the IMAGINES project and past and future
conferences see website: www.imagines-project.orgSeduction and Power
