    The 2009–2010 Penn Humanities Forum on Connections presents Anne Carson. Classical scholar and MacArthur Fellow Anne Carson connects ancient drama to modern philosophy and painting in her performance piece, Cassandra Float Can. The work links Aeschylus’s Cassandra, doomed to speak the truth and not be believed, with other witnesses in turbulent times: the phenomenologist Edmund Husserl, the “anarchitect” Gordon Matta-Clark, and the translator of ancient texts herself, Anne Carson.
