UW Graduate School — Walker Ames Endowed Lecturer: Russell Berman
February 7 | 6:30 p.m.
Location: UW's Kane Hall, room 120
Practical concerns tend to place a premium on informational reading to the disadvantage of aesthetic education. This familiar trade–off in current debates is hardly new. Similar concerns defined cultural production during the rapid industrialization of Germany in the 19th century. This talk explores the durability of fiction within a scientific–realist setting through the problem of poetic realism in the work of the author Theodor Storm (1817-1888), including his reception in social theory.
