Dana Levin: Object Lessons, part 1 (January 2018)

This encompassing lecture, the first of a proposed sequence, takes on T.S. Eliot’s idea of the Objective Correlative, explores objects and their settings, and objectivification—both in terms of power dynamic and in terms of the made thing. Authors discussed include Robert Hass, Angela Carter, Gaston Bachelard, Martin Buber, and others.
