ou are cordially invited to Prof, James Clauss (UW Seattle Classics, Film & Media Studies, Near Eastern Languages & Cultures, Global Literary Studies) lecture about
Ray Harryhausen’s Clash of the Titans (1981): "The GODS would no longer be needed.”
Friday, May 8th, 4:00pm. Miller Hall 138

Summary:

The presentation will argue that Ray Harryhausen’s 1981 film, Clash of the Titans, far from being a lightweight sword and sandal film, is a highly sophisticated cinematic narrative alluding to many stories and themes including the Oedipus myth, ancient and modern art and architecture, Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Star Wars, and the Iliad. At the heart of the mythic account is a budding awareness that Harryhausen’s three-dimensional stop motion technique was giving way to CGI. Myth was yielding to modernity.

Presented by the WWU Department of Languages, Literatures & Cultures, Section of Classics & Classical Studies.
