2012-2013 Humanities Center Lecture Series
MOVEMENT
The Humanities Center will explore the topic of "Movement" during the Academic Year 2012-2013. We are approaching the concept from a variety of disciplines and perspectives, from performing and visual arts to historical, literary, cultural, philosophical and religious conceptualizations of “movement.” We will explore political movements past and present, violent and non-violent; territoriality, migration, and border crossing; metaphysics of process; artistic movements; the relationship between the movements of body and thought; translation as movement, etc.
