Electronic Literature Generator 2000-2004 FORECAST Public Artworks / Jerome Foundation grant. Open Book Literary Center, Minneapolis. 9' x 6". Collaboration: Jon Spayde. A FORECAST/Jerome grant funded this piece for the lobby of the Open Book Literary Center. The Electronic Literature Generator is a surrealist word-art piece consisting of three LED signs displayed in a row on the wall: the first sign displaying nouns, the second displaying verbs, the third displaying more nouns. The words were solicited via a ballot box in the lobby of the Open Book center. The signs always make a sentence but the sentence is constantly changing due to the time-based graphic display. The ELG expanded the literary sensibilities of the Open Book Center into the surreal and playful.

Part 1 of 4. His Master's Voice: Czesław Miłosz and his dialogue with British, Irish and American poetry at the British Academy. Please note: This is an amateur recording of the event. Thursday 6 December 2012 Venue: The British Academy, 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AH Czesław Miłosz (1911-2004), the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1980, was a tireless advocate of Eastern European poetry and did much to alert western audiences to its richness.

At a juncture when the concept of 'value' is reckoned primarily in economic terms, it seems timely to consider how poetry promotes dialogue within and between cultures, and so promotes other, richer ways of seeing.

He is a Professor of English at the Universities of Lodz and Warsaw. Michael Parker is a Professor of English Literature at the University of Central Lancashire, whose books include Seamus Heaney: The Making of the Poet (1993), Northern Irish Literature 1956-2006 (2007) and Irish Literature Since 1990 (2009).

Loren Glass: Avant-Garde Literature

William S. Burroughs, D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller. These writers have come to occupy the core of our 20th-century literary canon, but American readers might have missed their works completely were it not for one unwavering advocate. Chicagoan Barney Rosset and his fledgling Grove Press led the charge against censorship in the 1960s, helping to redefine the parameters of obscenity and bring this essential and provocative literature to college classrooms and the greater American reading public. Loren Glass, University of Iowa associate professor of 19th- and 20th-century American literature and cultural studies, recounts Rosset's campaign and explores how the literary avant-garde joined the mainstream. Loren Glass is associate professor in the English department and the Center for the Book at the University of Iowa. His first book, Authors Inc.: Literary Celebrity in the Modern United States, was published by New York University Press in 2004. His history of Grove Press, Counter-Culture Colophon: Grove Press, the Evergreen Review, and the Incorporation of the Avant-Garde, is forthcoming in the Post45 Series with Stanford University Press in 2013. This program is generously underwritten by Rose L. Shure and is presented in partnership with the American Library Association and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies at the University of Iowa.

http://www.egs.edu/ Christopher Fynsk, contemporary philosopher talks about Maurice Blanchot and analyses the question of writing, language and literature throughout Blanchot's notes by the means of post-structuralism. Christopher Fynsk has been the Director of the Centre for Modern Thought as well as the head of the School of Language and Literature at the University of Aberdeen since 2005. He also currently holds the Maurice Blanchot Chair for Continental Philosophy at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. Previously he taught at SUNY Binghamton where he was co-director and founder of the Philosophy, Literature and Theory of Criticism department. Internationally recognized as a Heidegger scholar and literary theorist, Christopher Fynsk has worked extensively with Philipe Lacou-Labarthe and Jean Luc Nancy as well as others over the course of his career. In his book Heidegger; Thought and Historicity (1986), Fynsk examined Heidegger's notions of human finitude and difference, especially through an examination of the role of 'mitsein' in Being and Time. In later works, Fynsk has taken up the idea of language (that there is language) and its relation to being. His book Infant Figures: The Death of the Infans and Other Scenes of Origin (2000) continues this engagement with language. Amongst Chris Fynsks published works are Typography: Mimesis, Philosophy (1989), Heidegger: Thought and Historicity (1986), Politics Language and Relation: that there is language (1996), Infant Figures: The Death of the Infans and Other Scenes of Origin (2000), The Claim of Language: A Case for the Humanities (2004).

Order: Reorder
Duration: 57:25
Updated: 03 Jan 2013

In his first talk Professor Karimi-Hakkak will survey the exilic mode in classical Persian literature from its beginning in tenth century Central Asia to the waning of the classical tradition and the dawning of the modern period around the turn of the twentieth century. Poems by early poets such as Sa`d Salman of Lahore and Nasser Khosrow of Qobadian, as well as later poets like Rumi, Hafez, Kamal and others will be explored. Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak is Professor of Persian Language, Literature, and Cultures at the University of Maryland and Founding Director of the University's Roshan Center for Persian Studies. He has studied in Iran and the United States, receiving his PhD in Comparative Literature from Rutgers University in 1979. Karimi-Hakkak is the author, editor or translator of over twenty books and around one hundred and fifty research articles. The study of languages, literatures and cultures in their various sociopolitical contexts and along the historical line has been at the center of his scholarship. He counts Recasting Persian Poetry: Scenarios of Poetic Modernity in Iran (University of Utah Press, 1995), Essays on Nima Yushij: Animating Modernity in Persian Poetry (Brill, 2004), and Strange Times, My Dear: The PEN Anthology of Contemporary Iranian Literature (Arcade, 2005) as most representative of his contributions to the study of Persian literature in Iran.

김유정 문학촌 Literature Museum 김유정역은 한국철도 최초로 역명에 사람 이름을 사용한 역이다. 1939년 7월 25일 신남역으로 개업하였으며, 2004년 12월 1일 김유정역으로 역명을 변경하였다. 2010년 12월 21일 수도권 전철 경춘선이 개통되면서 새로운 역사로 이전되었다. 역명은 이 지역 출신의 저명 문인인 '김유정'의 이름을 본따 지어졌다. 강원도 춘천시 신동면 실레길에 있는 김유정문학관 경춘선 김유정역에서 내려 400m정도 걸어 김유정생가를 고증을 거쳐 똑같이 복원해 놓았다고 한다. 또한 한국의 대표적인 단편문학작가 김유정(金裕貞)선생의 사상과 문학을 기리며, 그 기념 및 연구사업 등을 추진하는 동시에 작가의 고향마을인 실레마을을 스토리빌리지화하여 국내외의 대표적 문학테마 공간을 조성하기 위하여 김유정 작가의 생가를 복원하고 기념전시관 및 부대시설을 마련하고 작품의 무대인 실레마을에 문학산책로를 조성하는 등 김유정 작가의 문학적 업적과 문학정신을 알리기 위해 , 김유정 문학촡을 2002년 8월 개관하였다. 작가의 소설 제목으로 이름이 붙여진 금병산의 김유정 등산로 (봄·봄길) (동백꽃길) (산골나그네길) (만무방길) (금따는 콩밭길)등과 마을 전체가 작품의 무대로서 지금도 점순이 등 소설 12편에 등장하는 인물들의 실제로 있었던 이야기를 바탕으로 만들어진 실레 이야기길, 그리고 농촌계몽운동을 벌이던 금병의숙, 김유정역 등 마을 전체를 이야기마을로 특화하여 김유정의 생애와 작품 세계를 다양한 이야기 콘텐츠로 개발한다고 한다. 짧은 생을 살다간 김유정에 대한 인간적인 면모를 보고 가슴이 뭉클했다. 김유정 문학촌 Literature Museum Travel in Korea 한국여행 국내여행 데이트코스 강원도여행 대한민국여행 우리나라여행
