Study guide for Sophocles' Antigone

Study Guide for Sophocles' Antigone by Robin Mitchell-Boyask, Associate Professor of Classics, Temple University There is an on-line text with hyperlinks to a wide range of information. As with all web pages, underlined passages indicate hyperlinks to further information. This guide is keyed to the translation by Robert Fagles (Penguin Press). Setting The drama begins at dawn, after a night in which there has been a war in Thebes between armies led by the two sons of Oedipus. Keep in mind that the Greek theater was in the open air, and that the first performances of the day would begin at daybreak. Thu s, imagine that the time of day of the setting would be identical to the performance time. 1-116 As you read the first scene, consider the gravity of the city's condition and how aware Antigone seems of it. Throughout the play, Antigone and Creon will talk much about friends and enemies. Think about what each means by these terms. In general, Antigone and Creon tend to use the same words but mean different things by them. For example, consider Antigone's re ference to being a "traitor" (57).

Cultural Studies Homepage at the University of Edinburgh

The programme takes an original interdisciplinary approach to the study of contemporary culture and cultural theory, placing an emphasis on the issues of identity and representation in relation to cultural forms and practices. Concerned with the social and political conditions in which cultural expressions take place, especially the global and local processes of transformation and contestation, the programme offers a unique focus on the diverse manifestations of visual culture. The programme encourages investigations into the questions of identity and representation highlighting the importance of visual, material and everyday practices in studying culture. It aims to respond to the growing interest in visual culture; the city as a site of cultural production and manifestation; technological mediations of images, language and social practices; global cultural forces and the problems of cultural translation, and tensions between the visual, spatial, linguistic and literary forms.

College Studying Tips - study habits - cramming

How to Take on College Studying Your Cramming Days Are Over In college, you may be shocked by the workload you suddenly face. Read a whole book for the next class? A test on three chapters when the semester has hardly begun? Think of college as a full-time job, in which you spend about 40 hours a week on class, labs, section meetings, and study groups, and doing homework.
