Thursday, February 3, 4 p.m. @ State Room East, Indiana Memorial Union
Michel Chaouli and Dror Wahrman
Interpretation: Deduction or Seduction?
The speakers will open a dialogue about the core activity of the humanities - interpretation. What does it mean to produce an interpretation. What cognitive, affective, and social resources does this process employ? How do we manage to win others over to our ways of seeing? How does interpretation fit with the sort of things we prize at the university, such as evidence, knowledge, and truth.
Professor Chaouli's and Wharman's proposal--Master Classes in the Humanities: The Art of Interpretation--was the winner of the IAS Henry H.H. Remak New Knowledge Seminar competition for 2010-11.
