Some sample questions to consider as you develop your project:
1. Is there an explicit sign that your work somehow is a reception of a source text (i.e. in Plautus, Terence, or Seneca), such as its title, or is there a clear verbal or visual reference to a source text?
2. If there is no explicit sign (see 1 above), what makes you consider your work a reception of a Roman play we've read (e.g. a specific shared theme, idea, character, etc.)?
3. If your receiving work transfers its source/inspiration to another medium (from text to, e.g., film), what interesting adjustments in content and form are made?
4. How in-depth (or superficial) is your work's engagement with its source?
5. How does your work update its source for its new audience, i.e. an audience rooted in a different culture and time?
6. Does your work engage critically with its source, e.g. ironically, humorously, parodically?
7. Does your work provide any fresh, provocative, or enlightening perspectives on its source text?
