Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2003.

The extant writings of the four major Roman verse satirists present a complex and intriguing network of images of the body in which the sensory organs of the face play a prominent role. The satirists exhibit a fascination with noses, ears and eyes because these organs function both as the focal point of an observer's gaze and as the body's primary sensory filter with the environment. Reading these often grotesque anatomical images with insights gleaned from a critically heterodox study of contemporary theory regarding the body and a methodology modeled on traditional philological inquiry reveals the means by which the satirists weave the body into their presentation of larger rhetorical goals. By constructing imagistic patterns which often operate intertextually, the satirists exploit the potential of each of these organs to serve as an image of vulnerability or aggression. Through the exploration of the tension between the organs' active and passive roles, the satirists reflect the paradoxical character of their chosen genre, a mode of expression that perpetually oscillates between paranoid anxiety and confrontational arrogance in tone. Through the creative depiction of the sense organs of the face and head in their verse, the poets ultimately offer an oblique glimpse into the nature of the satiric voice itself.
