Abstract

This forum is based on a panel that was held at the 145th Annual Meeting of the American Philological Association in Chicago on January 3, 2014. We were delighted to see the future Society for Classical Studies hosting this event, which was stimulated by the latest publication by Bonnie Honig, Antigone, Interrupted (Cambridge 2013).

  8. In doing so, Honig joins forces with a recent tendency in contemporary theory that takes its cue from the philosophies of Spinoza and Nietzsche and that decidedly rejects the melancholic celebration of the death drive and of trauma that marked much critical theory of the 1990 s. Examples of this new trend may be found in, e.g., rhetoric (N. S. Struever, Rhetoric, Modality, Modernity, Chicago, 2009), the new materialisms (J. Bennett, Vibrant Matter: A Political Ecology of Things, Durham NC, 2010) and philosophy (S. Shakespeare and K. Moody, eds., Intensities: Philosophy, Religion, and the Affirmation of Life, Farnham and Burlington, VT, 2012).
