SUMMARY:14th Annual Humanities Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:“Things As They Should Be? A Question for the Humanities”\nThe Humanities Council kicks off each academic year with an interdisciplinary Colloquium featuring humanities faculty. \nOpen to the University community. Advance registration required; space limited. \nZoom registration: Click here \nAristotle claims that poetry is more philosophical than history because it depicts not ‘what happens’ but ‘the kind of thing that might happen’; not just ‘things as they are or seem’\, but ‘things as they should be’ (Poetics 1451a-b and 1460b). The colloquium seeks to investigate the disciplinary divisions these claims suggest: in what ways does poetry depict what might or should be? Can literature define expectations and hence become an instrument for social and political change and ethical transformation? Does history not also organize its narratives according to what seems probable or necessary? What are the philosophical stakes of asking how different disciplines depict “things as they should be”? \nThe following scholars\, whose work represents different approaches and historical periods\, examine these questions. \n\nEddie S. Glaude Jr. (African American Studies)\n“As Much Truth as We Can Bear” \nBarbara Graziosi (Classics)\n“Philosophy\, Fiction\, Forgery: Insights from a Neapolitan Prison” \nJhumpa Lahiri (Creative Writing)\n“Not should but might: notes of a would-be translator” \nMelissa Lane (Politics)\n“Normative Theory and the Perils of Normalization” \nModerator: Eric S. Gregory (Religion; Chair\, Humanities Council)
