LECTURE at 6:15pm on 10 Dec 2014 ⌖ Heyman Center for the Humanities, Second Floor Common RoomWe need a history and vision of the humanities capacious enough to see them not as a particular method or set of disciplines but as a disposition, as a way of engaging the world.
On Method: The Humanities in Full: Polemics Against the Two-Culture Fallacy
If the recent diatribes against the digital humanities have done anything, they have demonstrated how truncated and ahistorical most of our conceptions of the humanities are. We need a history and vision of the humanities capacious enough to see them not as a particular method or set of disciplines but as a disposition, as a way of engaging the world. This talk sketches what such a history might look like and what it might accomplish.
