[Wgcp-whc] Wgcp Related events--all this Thursday!

[Richard Deming]

Comrades,


I will sending along some minutes drawn from last Friday's very generative discussion with prose poem scholar/poet Michel Delville.  In the meantime, I wanted to send some announcements about events run by or involving WGCP members.  Alas, all of them fall on the same date--this Thursday, though  they aren't actually in conflict with one another.  This series of events indicates, however,  a particularly energetic semester lies ahead.

Onward,
Richard Deming, Group Coordinator

Her poems have been anthologized in Against Expression (2011) and Gurlesque (2010). Known for her interest in bodily experience, the occult, new media, and the possibilities of the long or book-length form, Reines has been described as “one of the crucial voices of her generation” by Michael Silverblatt on NPR’s Bookworm.

4)With great pleasure, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, with the generous support of the Whitney Humanities Center, announces a collaborative, interdisciplinary conference with the Center of Excellence Morphomata at the University of Cologne, at Yale, September 20-22. Speakers include Professors Peter Eisenman, Francesco Casetti, Christopher Wood, Brigitte Peucker, and Rudiger Campe from Yale, and Gunter Blamberger and Dietrich Boschung from the University of Cologne. At the core of this event as well are two panels with the work of younger scholars from both intellectual communities on Saturday, September 22.
 
The topic, inspired by Walter Benjamin’s construct of the “thinking image” (Denkbild), is on the cutting edge between visual and literary critique. The schedule of events and lineup of speakers is attached.
 
With enormous anticipation, we look forward to a diverse audience of participants from the Yale community and we welcome your intervention.
 
Henry Sussmann & Carol Jacobs
