SPONTANEOUS PARTICULARS: The Telepathy of Archives | Woodberry Poetry Room

As they evolve, electronic technologies are radically transforming the way we read, write and remember. The nature of archival research is in flux; we need to see and touch objects and documents; now we often merely view the same material on a computer screen---digitally, virtually, etc. While new and often thrilling possibilities are emerging for artists and scholars, "Spontaneous Particulars" is Susan Howe’s collaged swan song to the old ways. For this lecture, introduced by Kristen Case, Howe combines images from research libraries and special collections (such as the Emily Dickinson Collection at Amherst College, the William Carlos Williams Collection at SUNY Buffalo’s Poetry Collection, the Hart Crane papers at Columbia University, the Charles Sanders Peirce papers at Houghton Library, the Ratti Textile Center at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Noah Webster papers at The New York Public Library, the Jonathan Edwards Collection and the Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas papers at the Beinecke Library) with her spoken/written text. Date: October 7, 2014 For more information, visit hcl.harvard.edu/poetryroom.
