Panaesthetics—Colloquium

Panaesthetics—Colloquium Panaesthetics: A Colloquium on the Visual Arts, Literature and Music :: Mahindra Humanities Centre a Daniel Albright. Mellon Foundation.

This Graduate School for the Arts and Sciences & Mahindra Humanities colloquium’s primary goal is to offer students a forum to present their interdisciplinary work and continue investigation into the fields of research promoted by Prof. This workshop will draw on the inspiration Prof. Albright’s work provided in all its diversity and breadth as a reflection of his manifold interests. We are commit

ted to supporting ongoing research on aesthetics, poetics, and intermedial crossings, especially literature and music, but also inter-artistic borrowings, at the time of Modernism and beyond. We will support research carried out by graduate students formally supervised by Prof. Albright or simply drawn to his approach and range of expertise. We would like to carry forward the idea of a Comparative Arts framework of scholarly inquiry, and to give a sense of community to young and confirmed researchers who feel they are building upon, echoing and expanding on—but also engaging in critical ways with—Prof. Albright’s far-reaching body of scholarship, from 'Untwisting the Serpent' (2000) to 'Panaesthetics' (2014), from 'Quantum Poetics' (1997) to 'Music Speaks: On the Language of Opera, Dance and Song' (2009). The Mahindra Humanities Center Interdisciplinary Graduate Workshop: “Panaesthetics: A Colloquium on the Visual Arts, Literature and Music” is made possible thanks to a grant from the Andrew W. This workshop is sponsored by John Hamilton (Germanic Languages and Literatures) and Cécile Guédon (Comparative Literature).

[A Curious Halo: Close Encounters with Catastrophe]
[Arts @ 29 Garden, Mon. May 8, 7-9 pm]

Is the end in sight? This exhibition curated by CPLT 124 students draws from the collections of the Harvard Art Museums and the Harvard Museum of Natural History to propose an investigation of the various modalities of literary discourse around natural disasters across centuries, in connection with the development of the natural sciences, news report, and information technology. The scope of "Curious Halo" is to examine the various scales of disasters, with their ever increasingly global ripples, together with the expanding and contracting temporalities of apocalypse.

Launch/Performance: May 8, 7-9, Arts at 29 Garden.

With the support of the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning.

[Intermediality from A to Z]
[Barker Centre, Kresge Room, Mon. May 1, 4-6 pm]

Is ‘intermediality’ a unified object of study? If so, what kind of challenges do we face when attempting to look at a variety of media in one glance? What does it mean to look at ‘inter-mediality’ (versus trans-, multi- or new media)? What kind of things lying in-between media can be of epistemological interest—how can we theorize these intersections, mismatches, crossovers, gaps, or overlaps occurring in an intermedial fashion? “Thirteen Ways” is an introductory course in the study of the Comparative Arts, which explores various ways of theorizing the interaction between art forms (music, architecture, visual arts, performing arts and literature). A great deal of emphasis is placed on methodology as well as on the theory of intermediality; the course has been designed in such a way that the lecturer and the students have been engaged in a collaborative effort to devise an ‘intermediality toolkit’, ready for use and direct application in individual research projects. The launch will feature a screening of four video-podcasts centering on one intermedial notion applied to one work displayed in the Harvard Art Museums, a roundtable discussion and a Q/A session moderated by the students of CPLT 122 and Dr. Cécile Guédon.
