SUMMARY:Victorian Gaslighting with Professor Nora Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Friends of the Dickens Project for our spring Friends Faculty Fellowship talk series by Associate Professor Nora Gilbert (University of North Texas) who will be discussing “Victorian Gaslighting” \nVirtual Sessions: \nApril 14: Book Talk: Victorian Gaslighting: Genealogy of an Injustice \nMay 19: Discussion: Gaslight (1944) –Directed by George Cukor \n \nAs someone who co-specializes in Victorian literature and early Hollywood film\, I’ve long been a fan of the darkly disturbing 1944 film Gaslight starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. During the first session of this series\, I will provide an overview of an essay collection that I’m currently co-editing with Diana Bellonby and Tara MacDonald called Victorian Gaslighting: Genealogy of an Injustice\, in which we trace the genealogy of gaslighting back to its Victorian roots by bringing together fourteen essays that examine a wide range of nineteenth-century literary texts through the lens of gaslighting. During the second session\, we will have an in-depth discussion of the 1944 film version of Gaslight itself\, which captures the “maddening” feeling of this particular form of emotional abuse so gut-wrenchingly well. \nNora Gilbert is an associate professor of English at the University of North Texas. She is the author of Better Left Unsaid: Victorian Novels\, Hays Code Films\, and the Benefits of Censorship (2013) and Gone Girls\, 1684-1901: Flights of Feminist Resistance in the Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century British Novel (2023)\, as well as a number of other essays on Victorian literature and classical Hollywood film. Since 2017\, she has served as the editor of the journal Studies in the Novel. She is the 2024 Spring Friends of the Dickens Project Faculty Fellow.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Art and Artificial Intelligence: A Philosophical Investigation with Alice Barale
DESCRIPTION:The History of Consciousness department presents Art and Artificial Intelligence: A Philosophical Investigation with Alice Barale\, University of Milan. \nJoin us Monday\, May 20 at 12pm in Hum 1 Rm 210 or register below to attend virtually: \n \nIt has been several years since the first artwork created with artificial intelligence was sold at the renowned auction house Christie’s in 2018. In the meantime\, new types of artificial intelligence have emerged\, enabling artists to conduct different experiments. However\, the presence of AI in the artistic process continues to raise significant questions. How should its role be understood? And\, more importantly\, what new chances does it offer within the artistic field and beyond? \n \nAlice Barale is a scholar of Aesthetics and Assistant Professor at the Department of Cultural and Environmental Heritage at the University of Milan. She has extensively researched Aby Warburg and Walter Benjamin\, authors to whom she has dedicated several essays and two monographs (“La malinconia dell’immagine\,” FUP\, 2009\, and “La prima impresa: Shakespeare in Warburg e Benjamin\,” Jaca Book\, 2021). For Benjamin\, she has edited and translated a new Italian version of “Origin of the German Trauerspiel” (Carocci\, 2018). Among her most recent research interests are the philosophy of color (“Il giallo del colore\,” Jaca Book\, 2020) and the relationship between art and artificial intelligence. She has curated the collected volume “Arte e intelligenza artificiale. Be my GAN” (Jaca Book\, 2020) and is currently working on a new book on the topic\, which will be released soon. \nTalk co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute with Humanities in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
