About this Event
500 E. Spring St., Oxford, OH 45056
Patrice Rankine is a major figure in the field of classics, especially in what used to be called "Classica Africana" (the role of classical reception in the Black diaspora). In 2006, he published a major work (one of the first of its kind) on the influence of the Odyssey on Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man called Ulysses in Black: Ralph Ellison, Classicism, and African American Literature. He is also the author of Aristotle and Black Drama: A Theater of Civil Disobedience. Patrice is currently at work on two book projects: Theater and Crisis: Myth, Memory, and Racial Reckoning and Slavery and the Book, which includes research he conducted in Brazil. Patrice recently moved to the University of Chicago, but before that served as Dean of Arts and Sciences at the University of Richmond.
In his lecture on Tuesday, March 14 (4:30 pm), entitled "The Aeschylean Mood of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man," Patrice will be "connecting some of what he found in Ellison's library and archives at the Library of Congress to his essays and novel. The Oresteia is his most annotated text and this allows Patrice to extend his reading of Ellison's classicism beyond the Ulysses theme."
