“Contrary to common-sense understanding, the transformations of self-identity are not just a personal matter. Historical shifts out there provide the social conditions of existence of personal and psychic change in here. What mattered was how I positioned myself on the other side - or positioned myself to catch the other side: how I was, involuntarily, hailed by and interpellated into a broader social discourse. Only by discovering this did I begin to understand that what black identity involved was a social, political, historical and symbolic event, not just a personal, and certainly not simply a genetic, one. From this I came to understand that identity is not a set of fixed attributes, the unchanging essence of the inner self, but a constantly shifting process of positioning. We tend to think of identity as taking us back to our roots, the part of us which remains essentially the same across time. In fact identity is always a never-completed process of becoming - a process of shifting identifications, rather than a singular, complete, finished state of being.”

mmm love the maybe-delusional, maybe-real terror that someone is reading this, someone will know, someone will be mad and will tell me how wrong I am and remind me that it’s all my fault

things my prof did on the first day of class

greeted us with “hello, classicists”

politely requested that we not traumadump in her email inbox

brought up clytemnestra 3 separate times, unprompted, during the first 20 minutes. invited us all to her office to look at the full-length clytemnestra painting on her wall

as a rule, addresses students by “mr/ms/mx lastname” (it is difficult to bear this with a straight face given that she is likely to follow this up with excited swearing)

speaks of the tragedians with a fond exasperation like she knew them personally

refers to undergrads, affectionately, as “creatures”

went on a passionate diatribe about how pronunciation is stupid because these languages are long dead, thus we are not allowed to correct each other unless ☝️ someone pronounces odysseus as “osyddeus” (this one seemed like it was from personal experience)

“i won't respond to emails after 5pm—” (reasonable) “—because i like to go to bed at 7—” (wait what) “—and i'll usually wake up around 3” (WHAT THE FUCK)

promised to procure costumes and masks for our final project, in which we will stage and perform a scene of our choice in the amphitheatre and be “heckled” by her colleagues
