Filologia delle immagini

Engramma no. 195, “Filologia delle immagini”, edited by Maddalena Bassani, Concetta Cataldo, and Roberto Indovina, is a reflection on the iconography of myth and its re-elaboration on figured ceramics through the textual mediation of theatre. The essays here included explore the relationship between texts and images. The contributions by Concetta Cataldo, Antonio Maria Draià and Miriam Sabatucci are linked to the theme of “Pots & Plays” and accordingly analyze the interactions between Greek theatrical texts and vase painting of the fifth and the fourth centuries BC. Mariagrazia Ciani presents a review of Francesca Ghedini’s volume dedicated to history through images in the ancient world. We also include an interview with the actresses of the 2022 theatrical season and an update of the list of classic dramas performed by the Istituto Nazionale del Dramma Antico (INDA – National Institute of Ancient Drama) from 1914 to 2022 in Syracuse. Finally, a presentation of the exhibition “Argilla. Storie di viaggi. Un itinerario scientifico e didattico fra mari e millenni”, in Vicenza.
