海角社区: The Life of Ideas, Notions, and Concepts
A series consisting of two panels by U海角社区 Humanities professors and two lectures by visiting scholars curated by Fr茅deric Rondeau
Some ideas get old. Some revive after decades of turmoil. Some seem gone forever, and then come back. The decline and the renaissance of an idea, a word, tells us a lot about our society and values. Participants in The Life of Ideas will think about this phenomenon critically by addressing the lifespan of an array of theoretical concepts from humanities disciplines.
The second panel (Anne Knowles, Michael Howard, Michael Lang) and lectures by prominent scholars Eric M茅choulan (U. of Montreal) and Enzo Traverso (Cornell) will take place in spring 2018 (dates, times TBA).
All events are free and open to the public.
“Lifespan of Ideas” was created by Fr茅d茅ric Rondeau聽and is part of the 2017-2018 year-long symposium聽Juvenescence / Obsolescence: Humanities Approaches to Aging across the Ages.
