    Socrates’ kατάβασις and the Sophistic Shades: Education and Democracy.Christine Rojcewicz - 2023 - Plato Journal 24:45-60.
    This article addresses the unusually elaborate dramatic context in Plato’s Protagoras and effect of sophistry on democratic Athens. Because Socrates evokes Odysseus’ κατάβασις in the Odyssey to describe the sophists in Callias’ house (314c-316b), I propose that Socrates depicts the sophists as bodiless shades residing in Hades. Like the shades dwelling in Hades with no connection to embodied humans on Earth, the sophists in the Protagoras are non-Athenians with no consideration for the democratic body of the Athenian πόλις. I conclude (...)

    Somatic Desire: Recovering Corporeality in Contemporary Thought.Sarah Horton, Stephen Mendelsohn, Christine Rojcewicz & Richard Kearney (eds.) - 2019 - Lanham, MD: Lexington Books.
    The essays in this volume all ask what it means for human beings to be embodied as desiring creatures—and perhaps still more piercingly, what it means for a philosopher to be embodied. In taking up this challenge via phenomenology, psychoanalysis, hermeneutics, and the philosophy of literature, the volume questions the orthodoxies not only of Western metaphysics but even of the phenomenological tradition itself. We miss much that has philosophical import when we exclude the somatic aspects of human life, and it (...)

    Review of phenomenology and the arts, ed. Peter R. Costello and Licia Carlson. [REVIEW]Christine Rojcewicz - 2018 - Continental Philosophy Review 51 (2):289-294.
    Through an exploration of the arts, Phenomenology and the Arts traces the relationship between phenomenology qua historical movement and qua descriptive method. Serving as an artistic undertaking, the phenomenological method itself echoes its content when describing artistic matters such as painting, drama, literature, and music. After establishing the thematics and structure of the volume, contributors analyze in rich and groundbreaking ways specifically Kant, Hegel, Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Derrida, and works of art, including select jazz composers, the visual arts of (...)
