Paracomedy: Appropriations of Comedy in Greek Tragedy
Jendza, Craig (Assistant Professor of Classics, Assistant Professor of Classics, University of Kansas)
Paracomedy: Appropriations of Comedy in Greek Drama examines the previously overlooked practice of paracomedy: how ancient Greek tragedians appropriated elements from comedy such as costumes, scenes, plots, or language. Theorizing a new relationship between tragedy and comedy, it redefines how we should understand tragedy and reveals a dynamic theatrical world filled with mutual influence.
