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 first panel聽took place in November 2017 with participants聽聽(English): 鈥淟ate Style: A Feminist Future for a Category of Patriarchal Aesthetics?鈥 and聽Justin Wolff聽(Art History):聽鈥淧ass茅: Notes on Connoisseurship & Art History.鈥澛犅營n March, there will be two lectures by prominent scholars Eric M茅choulan (Universit茅 de Montr茅al) and Enzo Traverso (Cornell University).
All events are free and open to the public.
鈥淟ifespan of Ideas鈥 was created by聽Fr茅d茅ric Rondeau聽and is part of the聽2017-2018 year-long symposium聽Juvenescence / Obsolescence: Humanities Approaches to Aging across the Ages.
