520 _aIn his journal and poems, Herman Melville emphasizes the strangeness as well as the otherness of ancient artefacts and monuments. Yet he opens up the possibility for them to elicit pleasure in the individual who observes them when these mineral forms are supplemented by the resurfacing of organic life or bodily pleasure. While such pleasure unsettles neoclassical representations of Greco-Roman antiquity and questions the line between the human and the nonhuman, it also reterritorializes the experience of pleasure according to androcentric principles.
