In this course we will read Aristophanes’ Women at the Thesmophoria, paying special attention to intricacies of poetic form and their power of resistance. This is one of the first texts in Western literature that thematizes trans-ness. Besides focusing on translation and close reading, we will seek connections between this ancient comedy and recent trends in trans theory.
