Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies Lecture: “Toward a History of Distraction”
Event Host: Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
Shigehisa Kuriyama, Reischauer Institute Professor and Departmet Chair of Culturual History, Harvard University, will speak on "Toward a History of Distraction." Why was being distracted once synonymous with being mad? And why did distraction later come to figure as a much less radical disability? Starting with close analysis of some iconic Renaissance images, my talk will spotlight the entwined histories of curiosity, death, and the power to attend. Part of the CMRS 2012-13 Lecture Series, Disabilities and Abilities in the Middle Ages and Renaissance.Free and open to the public.For more information visit http://cmrs.osu.edu
