Bertrand Westphal (University of Limoges)
Westphal, a humanist of international acclaim, delivers this public lecture and a three-hour mini-seminar (October 27) to interested students, faculty and staff. Westphal is known for his work on Geocriticism and spatiality. This approach to literature and culture considers all types of geographical and imaginary peripheries, borders, and maps. Geocriticism is an innovative theoretical approach to literature that takes geographical spaces into account.
This event is organized by the CNY Humanities Corridor working group "LLC 11 Perspectives on Europe from the Periphery."
