果冻影院

Domenico Giordani joined 果冻影院 in 2021 as a Research Fellow working on the ERC-funded project 鈥淥rdering, Constructing, Empowering: Fragments of the Roman Republican Antiquarians鈥� (FRRAnt). He holds a DPhil in Classical Languages and Literature from the University of Oxford (St John鈥檚) and worked as Language Instructor at the Faculty of Classics at Oxford as well as Lecturer in Latin at Lady Margaret Hall (Oxford).听

His research interests gravitate around textual criticism, early Roman comedy and metre, socio-linguistics, and the application of interpretative frames drawn from anthropological literature to the study of ancient and pre-modern societies.听

In his capacity as member of the FRRAnt team, he contributes to the editing and commenting of the scattered remains of antiquarian works from the Republican period. His other projects include a critical edition of Titus Maccius Plautus鈥� Stichus (in progress for the Editiones Plautinae Sarsinates series), a critical edition with commentary of Trinummus (in progress for Oxford University Press), and a monograph on silence and marginality in Roman culture.听
