Ernest Hemingway, Teaches Us About Who We Are
We are natural-born learners, and we learn through story. Everything, from history and art to science and economics, is framed in story. This presentation/workshop delves into the hero archetype, Hemingway’s hero, and chasing your better self. Participants will explore work and ideas from Joseph Campbell, Maureen Murdock, Goethe, Ernest Hemingway, David Brooks, Carol Dweck.
Hemingway Birthday Lecture
3:00 - 4:30 PM (OPPL, Veterans Room, Second Floor)
This year is the 100th anniversary of a strikingly original collection of short stories and accompanying vignettes that marked Ernest Hemingway's American debut, called In Our Time. It is fitting that we welcome the editor of the Norton Critical Edition of In Our Time, Professor J. Gerald Kennedy for this year’s Hemingway Birthday Lecture titled, The Rough Edges of In Our Time.
“This concise yet comprehensive edition of Hemingway’s first major work, In Our Time (1925), offers an accessible introduction, an authoritative text, and a valuable selection of contextualizing materials. In a single volume, it brings together a relevant sample of Hemingway’s early journalism, correspondence, initial reviews of the book, and an indispensable selection of recent criticism.” —Zena Meadowsong, Rowan University
The event is FREE, but ask you to please register here so we can make the proper arrangements.
