Prof. Butler kindly shared an abstract of his upcoming talk with us:
“With examples from Vergil to Whitman, and thoughts on psychoanalysis, post-humanism, and ‘geophony,’ this paper reconsiders what it means to listen to literature.”
The evening will begin with drinks at 5:45 PM at the Ivy Lounge and Coffee Bar on the ground floor of Faculty House. Dinner will follow at 6:15 PM on the fourth floor of the same building. Please email our rapporteur, Anna Conser ([email protected]) by noon on Monday, April 25, in order to make a dinner reservation.
