A choral interlude distinctive to Greek Old Comedy, the parabasis treats a variety of literary and political topics that critics have generally considered tangential to the themes of the play in which it appears. Reading closely each of Aristophanes' comedies, Thomas K. Hubbard here demonstrates that, far from being a digression or a relic of long-forgotten rituals, the parabasis provides a critical link between the identities of the poet, chorus, and protagonist, and between the play and its audience.The parabasis, according to Hubbard, offers an interesting theoretical problem: the seeming intrusion of autobiographical allusion and literary dogma into the poetic text. He argues that the parabasis is not in fact intrusive, but presents the poet's role and identity as a paradigm for the satirical concerns of the play. After a review of ancient theories of the comic and their modern counterparts, Hubbard examines the parabasis within the framework of Greek traditions of poetic self-awareness and self-citation.He shows that the function of the parabasis is primarily "intertextual," echoing not only other poets but also the comic poet himself. Hubbard maintains that the parabases of Aristophanes' plays, taken together, form an important autobiographical subtext, which allows readers to trace the poet's career as he wished it to be seen. The poet, in his various struggles with Athenian society, is himself revealed to be a comic hero on a par with many of his protagonists. Analyzing Aristophanes' plays sequentially through the lens of the parabasis, The Mask of Comedy gives us a new perspective on the significance of his entire dramatic corpus. It will be welcomed by classicists and by comparatists and literary theorists interested in the development of comedy.

Mediante un análisis de las representaciones humorísticas de la justicia ateniense en la comedia antigua, este libro se ocupa de relevar y analizar los modos en que el derecho es revelado, imitado, privatizado, suspendido, enseñado o proyectado en el corpus aristofánico. A través de una verdadera poética cómica de la justicia, las distintas estrategias empleadas por Aristófanes en las primeras seis obras de su producción literaria se canalizan hacia la explotación estética del nómos como un recurso primordial de la composición cómica. Sobre la escena, la destreza del dramaturgo se vale de los mecanismos de hiperbolización, distorsión y transcontextualización para refractar la excesiva litigiosidad ateniense y burlarse de la centralidad del universo forense frente a sus espectadores. Este volumen, que constituye el primer estudio acerca de los cruces entre la dimensión normativa y la comediografía política griega, procura ilustrar la importancia del género como fuente para una mejor comprensión del orden legal de la Atenas de fines del siglo V a.C. y, al mismo tiempo, rescatar la utilidad de lo jurídico para una mejor interpretación de las piezas conservadas a partir de un examen de los dispositivos regulatorios en juego.
