SUMMARY:Sean Keilen: "From Latin Rhetoric to English Poetry: Shakespeare’s Antic Dispositions"
DESCRIPTION:The Literature Department invites you to attend a talk held in conjunction with the search for a position in Early Modern Comparative Studies/Shakespeare: \nSean Keilen\, College of William and Mary\n“From Latin Rhetoric to English Poetry: Shakespeare’s Antic Dispositions” \nThe talk Shakespeare’s efforts to distinguish the poems and plays he was writing from the arguments he had learned to make at school—no small task\, given the fact that the study of poetry was subordinate to the study of rhetoric in the Elizabethan curriculum. In particular\, the talk focuses on the difference between the role the emotions play in determining the meaning of works of art in Shakespearean texts and the role they play in determining the meaning of a case in Latin rhetoric. According to the laws that defined rhetoric as species of discourse\, an emotion is a tool that orators must use to make audiences feel what they want them to feel\, and nothing else. Shakespeare’s works\, by contrast\, identify poetry with aesthetic experiences that give rise to ambiguous feelings\, multiple interpretations\, and authorless texts. \nSean Keilen teaches courses about Shakespeare\, English literature and criticism\, and the reception of the classical tradition. A recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation (2008) and National Humanities Center (2006)\, he is also the author of Vulgar Eloquence: On the Renaissance Invention of English Literature (Yale 2006)\, co-editor of Forms of Renaissance Thought: New Essays on Literature and Culture (Palgrave 2008)\, and a General Editor of the series Studies in Renaissance Literature (Boydell & Brewer).\nAt 4:00 pm\, Professor Keilen will conduct a graduate-student-only seminar on “Reading for Pleasure.” \nTexts: Barthes\, The Pleasure of the Text (excerpts)\, Sontag\, Against Interpretation\, and Shakespeare\, Venus and Adonis

SUMMARY:Visual Performance Studies Presents: Andre Lepecki
DESCRIPTION:Temporalities of Reenactment: A Speaker Series\, 2011-2012\n \nAndre Lepecki\, \nPerformance Studies\, New York University \nNot as Before\, but Again: Reenactments and “Transcreation” \nThe recent retrospective of the work of Marina Abramovic at MOMA in New York brought to wide public attention the phenomenon of what she called the “reperformance” of her earlier work\, which had only existed until then as one-time events recorded on film.  Bringing this ephemeral performance work into the museum space as a live artifact raised consciousness of a broader trend currently taking place in contemporary dance\, theatre\, film\, video and performance art.  Reenactment raises questions of the differences between reconstruction\, revival\, adaptation\, reinvention\, quotation\, amplification\, and the kinds of temporalities these strategies to recover past performance signify. But beyond the terminological questions\, issues of artist identity\, authenticity\, and history emerge in direct relationship with performative documentary activity. The question of the event and the document become dramatically foregrounded. The question of trauma and catharsis in relation to reenactment is salient as became clear in our first seminar with Chip Lord and Magaret Morse. \n\n\n\nReenactment of the work of one artist by another has been a form of contemporary creativity in theatre\, film\, dance\, and performance for some time\, but has been gaining momentum as a major trend of artistic production and research.  Clearly\, it evokes the connections of historiography and interpretation to art making that documents the past in a non-literal or even paradoxical yet exacting and rigorous way that evades certain mimetic conventions.  It is time to ask what sorts of temporality are deployed in reenactments\, and how new sorts of temporality reframe notions of documentation\, reconstruction/reinvention\, citation/quotation\, and amplification of an earlier work or event in the contemporary moment. \nThis year-long speaker series will present artists and scholars specializing in this area of contemporary creativity.
