"A society past its prime, assailed by foes within and without, in the ruins of what had gone before it: such was the Anglo-American world after 1945 in the eyes of the elderly Burgess, a prematurely old man like Waugh, and a young malcontent like Vidal." antigonejournal.com/2023/02/helena…
"I would give much more support to humanities, which are the foundation of civilization and cultural understanding and yet are under real threat...Their value is too often seen only in financial terms but education and independent thought are fundamental." antigonejournal.com/2024/03/averil…

Rowling says many things well here. I cancelled my Labour party membership 10 years ago because I reached my wits' end with growing tribalism: 'if our enemies think X, we must denounce & anathematise it!' sort of stuff. Well, no. Sometimes 'enemies' may happen to be right.

We know much about the Ancient Greeks and their lives. But it's a thorny problem that most literary texts were composed by the social elite. How much can we uncover about subordinates' lives? Samuel Gartland & David Tandy of @LeedsClassics offer an answer: antigonejournal.com/2024/04/subord…
It's hard to tell, but we think we're nearing 5,000 images on the Antigone website, covering the ancient, medieval and modern world. It's been such fun sourcing these over from many hundreds of different sources. Type "site:antigonejournal.com" into images.google.com...
Anti-intellectualism is constantly misunderstood as an egalitarian impulse. It is not. We think it's the Asimov quote - "my ignorance is as good as your knowledge." It's actually replacing demonstrable truth, work, and expertise with a birthright claim to authority.
The great success of Clark's Civilisation was not its detail-rich narrative or beautiful filming; it was that, as a "Personal View" of many episodes in western culture, it modelled how humans can be so moved, challenged and inspired by art and architecture antigonejournal.com/2023/02/kennet…
Trajan boasts the most famous column in Rome, but that of Marcus Aurelius is no less impressive. Today, Judith Stove explores how not just Trajan's design, but the philosophy of both the Stoics and Plato, seem to have shaped this remarkable structure: antigonejournal.com/2024/04/marcus…

I wish this article weren't pertinent to US academia today. But I'll note that the self-touted apostles of inclusion in classics are eerily silent about the anti-Semitism we've witnessed recently at universities. It's as if they don't really care about inclusion after all.

This is a crucial point. The cultural analysis of the current cultural insanities known loosely as "wokeness" must focus mainly on its USA-specific cultural development. What's really shocking so many countries have (so far, mainly) uncritically mimicked USA weirdness.
Also, the substitution hypothesis simply doesn't work, @KonstantinKisin. If wokeness -critical race theory, queer theory etc - was enabled by the decline of religion, why the hell would it emerge in the hyper-religious US rather than one of the more atheist countries? 1/
