"Willa Cather's Flatness"

International Seminar:
- CT

 

This event, part of the 19th International Willa Cather Seminar, is free and open to the public.

In this talk, Masud will consider what the flatness of the prairie—or, more precisely, the imagined flatness of the prairie—makes possible for Willa Cather and her characters. She suggests that, in Cather's hands, topographical flatness makes available a phenomenon of memory - something between presque vu and deja vu - which creates a disruption of relationships between self and other.


"Oil and Water Don’t Mix: Energy, Infrastructure, and the Great Lakes"

International Seminar:
- CT

 

This event, part of the 19th International Willa Cather Seminar, is free and open to the public.

The Straits of Mackinac is the meeting place of two Great Lakes: Michigan and Huron. It is also home to a seventy year-old crude oil pipeline, which over the past decade has become a key site of environmental and climate activism in the Midwest. How can humanistic methods and approaches help us reckon with the energy past and future in a time of planetary crisis?
