Moira Fradinger is Associate Professor in the department of Comparative Literature at Yale University. She is the author of Antígonas: Writing From Latin America (Oxford University Press, 2023), the first book in the English language to approach classical reception through the study of one classical fragment as it circulates throughout Latin America. This interdisciplinary research engages comparative literature, Latin American studies, classical reception, history, feminist theory, political philosophy, and theatre history. Prof. Fradinger tracks the ways in which, since the early nineteenth century, fragments of Antigone's myth and tragedy have been persistently cannibalized and ruminated throughout South and Central America and the Caribbean, quilted to local dramatic forms, revealing an archive of political thought about Latin America's heterogeneous neo-colonial histories. Antígona is consistently characterized as a national mother and, as the twentieth century advances, multiplied on stage, forming female collectives, foregrounding the urgency of systemic change or staging gender politics. Through meticulous examination of classical culture in necolonial contexts, Fradinger explores ways of reading Creole texts from the geopolitical South that disrupt the colonial reading protocols that deracinate texts or lock them into locality. By historicizing Antígona plays and interpreting them with a purpose to address specific colonial legacies, the book reveals how Antígona has ceased being Greek and instead tells stories of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Latin America. Antígonas rethinks the paradigms through which we understand the presence of ancient cultural materials in former colonial territories, while illuminating an understudied continent in Anglophone reception studies.

In this seminar, Sachi Schmidt-Hori will explore the decolonization of Japan Studies by examining the interconnected narratives of the Mt. Oe setsuwa from the Konjaku monogatari-shu, the story "Yabu no naka" (In a Grove), and Akira Kurosawa's film Rashomon. Their analysis will focus on how modern scholars often misinterpret these narratives, particularly viewing them through the lens of Masago's unreliable testimony. It's argued that this approach limits our understanding of the metanarrative embedded within the texts, including their annotations, commentaries, and translations. By challenging these contemporary readings, the aim is to uncover the deeper cultural and historical contexts of the Mt. Oe setsuwa, fostering a more nuanced and decolonized perspective in Japan Studies.
