Opening roundtable discussion
with the faculty -- W.J.T. Mitchell, James Elkins, Marie-José Mondzain, Jacqueline Lichtenstein, and Gottfried Boehm.
A three-hour
conversation, to introduce the problematic of the event. The Faculty will
discuss their approaches, and consider the principal ways of understanding images. Audience questions are encouraged, and the event (with
questions) will be taped for the book. After this roundtable, the Faculty and
15 students meet in closed seminars throughout the week. The closing
roundtable, listed below, is also a public forum, in which we summarize what
has been discussed.
