摘要

摘要:本文比较了荷马史诗《奥德赛》中奥德修斯家族生存的理想主义与苏珊-洛莉·帕克斯《父亲从战场归来》(2015)中混杂的理想主义。以荷马、法格尔斯和帕克斯的间接传播为基础，它认为帕克斯创造的混血儿人类犬形形象不仅质疑混血儿作为黑人解放和种族正义的终极目标的作用，而且还揭示了阿尔戈斯和忒勒马科斯在《奥德赛》结尾的理想化形象中的作用。帕克斯对《父亲从战争中归来》改编自《奥德赛》的观点提出了微妙的反对意见，这篇文章最后解释了在古典文学课堂上直接解决种族化教师所面临的挑战的紧迫性，而不是将这些教师理想化，将其视为该领域种族主义的不言而喻的解决方案。

Metal and Mettle: Odyssean Elements of the Racialized Body and Oddsee's Hybridity in Suzan-Lori Parks' Father Comes Home from the Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3) (2015)

Abstract:This article compares the idealism underwriting both the survival of Odysseus' family in Homer's Odyssey and hybridity in Suzan-Lori Parks' Father Comes Home from the Wars (2015). Building upon an instance of indirect transmission from Homer to Fagles to Parks, it argues that Parks' creation of a hybrid human canine figure not only queries hybridity's role as the telos of Black liberation and racial justice but also sheds new light on the role of Argos and Telemachus for the idealized image that concludes the Odyssey. Reflecting on Parks' nuanced rejection of the idea that Father Comes Home from the Wars is an adaptation of the Odyssey, this article closes by explaining the urgency of directly addressing the challenges of being a racialized teacher in the Classics classroom rather than idealizing those teachers as the self-evident resolution of the racism in the field.
