A new reading of two versions of the mythical material\u2014the apparently violent Medea in Euripides\u2019s tragedy, and the apparently nonviolent Medea in Christa Wolf\u2019s novel, Medea: Stimmen\u2014shows that her actions, which have no means at their disposal, are effective in that they exercise a form of active apathy: Medea acts by withdrawing from the effects of the patriarchal order, especially in her refusal of the affects that are expected from her. This interpretation shows that, far from being a madwoman, Medea is a stoic, capable, and effective in action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heller, Jonas (2024): Medea\u2019s Violence: Apathy as a Politics of Withdrawal.
