Greetings All!
The Mass Culture Workshop is thrilled to announce our Fall Schedule. We look forward to seeing many of you at these discussions and presentations!
Our fall program begins on Friday, October 14th from 1030am-1230pm with Cinema and Media Studies PhD candidate Jordan Schonig. Jordan will be presenting a chapter-in-progress from his dissertation, tentatively titled “Habitual Gestures: Post-War Realism, Bodily Movement, and the Problem of Agency.”
Mass Culture meets Fridays from 10:30-12:30 in Cobb 311. Below is a copy of our schedule, which is also available on our website, along with more details about many of the presentations: https://voices.uchicago.edu/massculture/. We will typically post papers to the website about a week in advance. You will need a password to access these papers, which will be circulated to our listserv as soon as the materials are available.
