The following is a list of History of Art departmental events, events the department is co-sponsoring, and events involving History of Art faculty.
Unraveling Oedipus
Sophocles' play, the Oedipus Tyrannus, tells the story of Oedipus' discovery of his identity as the killer of his father and the husband of his mother. As a dramatization of this process of self-discovery, the play shows how an individual goes through a process of unravelling as he realizes that his assumptions about others are unfounded and becomes aware of who he really is as well as the harm that he has caused others.
This event will feature a dramatic reading of excerpts from the play performed by the Black and Brown Community Theater of Detroit. There will also be ample opportunity for discussion of the relation of the play to the theme of this year's MLK Day, namely unravelling our biases and identities in ways that allow us to create a more just and inclusive community. A reception will follow. All members of the university community and the general public are warmly invited to attend.
