An object causes passion, as in the figurative notion of a loved object. “The Afterlife of the Object” 2019 summer school will contemplate how we establish narratives of the past and the self through objects.
We will view objects, not only loved, but also hated, ignored, collected, thrown away, performed, written, rewritten, translated, lost and found. The “object” of our study will be considered broadly, including but not limited to art, books, collections, fetishes, poems, letters, songs, and beyond.
The summer school week will feature keynote lectures from Carol Mavor, Rune Gade, Ursula Andkjær Olsen, Jane Blocker and Page duBois, as well as short papers presented by PhD candidates and other young scholars.
