The essays in Niobes present her as a set of complex figurations, an elusive mythical character but also an overdetermined figure who has long exerted a profound influence on various modes of modern thought, especially in the domains of aesthetics, ethics, psychoanalysis, and politics. As a symbol of both exclusion and resistance, Niobe calls for critical attention at a time of global crisis. Reconstructing the dialogues of Phillis Wheatley, G. W. F. Hegel, Walter Benjamin, Aby Warburg, and others with Niobe as she appears in Aeschylus, Sophocles, Ovid, and the visual arts, a collective of major thinkers—classicists, art historians, and critical theorists—reflect on the space that she can occupy in the humanities today. Inspiring new ways of connecting the classical tradition and ancient tragic discourse with crises and political questions relating to gender, race, and social justice, Niobe insists on living on.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; border: 1pt windowtext; padding: 0cm;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; border: 1pt windowtext; padding: 0cm;">We hope to see you there, </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; border: 1pt windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Callista, on behalf of Tristan and Ben </span><font size="3"><o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; font-size: medium; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Callista Sheridan <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Critical Antiquities Network <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/gL4ACwV1vMf0roMLpTqhMuJO_Xr?domain=criticalantiquities.org/"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12px;">criticalantiquities.org</span></a><font size="3"><o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; font-size: medium; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(66, 66, 66);"> </span></p></body></html>
